Stagea Group Buy Whiteline & Bilstein

[stasis]

so i can order the tie rod of s14 to use on the stagea?

[Sydneykid]

Gary,

When installing the whiteline rear springs - i had to go to the third highest circplip groove on the strut before the spring would even touch the top hat. Is this normal? ie I had to go to the second highest circlip groove to get a better height.

Adrian

Yes, quite normal, I run mine in the top circlip groove.

cheers

adn will also damage your shocks over time due to reduced stroke travel, they have hte possiblilty to heat up too much from the short strokes.....

No it won't, the shock doesn't care what part of the stroke you are using. In a mono tube shock (like a Bilstein) it still holds the same amount of oil, just different amounts above and below the piston.

In a twin tube shock, when you lower it excessively, the excess oil is transferred into the outer tube. This places more oil between the inner tune and the atmosphere. But oil transmits heat better than nitrogen, so the shock would in fact run cooler, not hotter. The temperature difference being so small you would never notice it on a road car of course.

cheers

Hi there Sydney Kid,

I was put on to this thread from a mate as i currently need new suspension for my R33 GTR. Not very mechanicaly minded so alot of stuff here is giberish to me.

So basically can i get a quote to for the best setup you think would be good for my car?

Cheers....

2 blown shox, i need it asap... even tein's are a ten week wait, looking into re-valved koni's

[captinsane]

try pm'ing around or start a new thread to see if anyone who has ordered SK's kit in the last while still has relatively good shocks to use left over from an upgrade.

[captinsane]

just checked SK's profile guys

FYI

In Topic: R33 Gtr Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension

Sorry for the delay in responding, especially to PM's. The video card in my home PC died and it took me 4 days to find out what it was and fix it. So I am about 110 PM's behind at the moment and trying hard to catch up. Add that to the workload at Superior Suspension (12 to 14 hours a day, 6 days a week) and it will take me a few days to answer everyone.

Hang in there, if you have transferred money, it's safe, I am not going to run off to Brazil with it. You won't miiss out, the Group Buy isn't going to end soon as I have spent some time with Bilstein securing the shock supply for a couple of months at least.

Advanced warning, I am off to the US for 5 weeks from 1st October to 5th November. Checking out some east coast action, Detroit, Chicago, Daytona and the SEMA show in Vegas. So when I don't respond to PM's or emails in that period, I am sure you will understand why.

cheers

just an FYI on his behalf so we know what's going on

[Raysboostin]

oh well i'll just wait till xmas time and get the swaybars as a present to myself

[mitchy_]

can we still order?

i want a set of 4 springs, and 4 shocks for a S1 stag, just need DD details.

[captinsane]

we can still order i am pretty sure but i believe SK is under the pump at the moment

Just keep trying to PM him...

I stil can't get though

His last activity on the site was on 24 august so i'd kep checking his profile till it appears that he's been online - then send him a PM and hope that he's seen to some of his Messages

Chances are i presume he won't be able to get your order in in a hurry though...

but here is my direct deposit details though in case you want to send ME the money

bank

branch

et alia...

I'll send you a lollipop, a paperclip and some spare postage stamps:D

Yes... I have found that some images which have 'disappeared' can be found in his SK's profile - this may or may not be the image you're after:

I thought I fixed up all the links in this thread some time ago. Certainly the price matrix is working for me. Anyway, PM me for details and Matt will get back to you ASAP.
