WazR32GTSt Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 shocks went in today and work great!! car rides nicely and very smooth still - onyl slightly harder than stock, but definately handles better and sits 24mm lower than stock for everyone's reference, i used the bilstean shocks on stock springs dropped down 3 circlip grooves... i might get the rear guards rolled for precaution given that i'm running 9" rears with +40 offset a question for everyone though: when i picked the car up, they said that something else was also worn out. they pointed it out on the car, but i don't know what its called. it connects from the lower control arm to something under the engine. looks like a rod with a ball-shaped thing on the end can anyone enlighten me as to what it is and whether or not it actually might need replacing? oh, and i had the suspension fitted at Vitanza Tyres in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Highly recommended for tyres and suspension cheers, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2707258 Share on other sites More sharing options...

R32Abuser Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 yeha from what ive been told they prevent movement of the control arm under accel and braking in order to prevent castor and camber changes in the steering geometry...But as i sed im unsure whether this is the part he means...need a pic to be 100% sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2710227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WazR32GTSt Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 ok i have done some more research.. i think they are castor rod bushes... and i understand that new ones can be had through the group buy, is that correct SK? do those have the same functionality as the stock ones? cheers, Warren Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2712328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r32woohoo Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Theyre caster rod/radius rod bushes. i just had mine replaced coz they were completely cracked the group buy has them, KCA331. otherwise theyre about $360 from nissan i think the stock ones arent adjustable whereas the whiteline are. I'd say thats the only difference....probably last longer too Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2712665 Share on other sites More sharing options...

salad Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The Whiteline ones are also urethane instead of silicone filled rubber. They are much stiffer and hold their shape much better under load Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2717794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneykid Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 Anyone considering an R32GTST kit should move quickly as there is only 1 set of R32GTST rear shocks left in stock. No production is currently scheduled, so it may be many months before Bilstein do another production run. There is no alternative shock available, R33 and R34 rear shocks are too long and R32GTR rear shocks have the fork at the bottom not the bush. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2727808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneykid Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 There is only 1 (yes ONE) set of R32GTST rear Bilsteins left in stock at Bilstein. There are no shipments planned and there is no production schedule. So when this set is sold I will close the Group Buy. cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/85591-r32-gtst-whiteline-bilstein-suspension/page/11/#findComment-2731937 Share on other sites More sharing options...
