Help me Obi Wan SKenobi !

I really need to find out some info about ETA for delivery... just something. It feels like my money has been taken and you've left the country (though I'm sure that's not the case). I've tried PMing you many times but your mailbox is always full, so I have to resort to posting in this thread.

Please PM me your contact details or email me at this address: the_epoch .at. hotmail.com

^^^Thats no good ^^^

Well I'm hoping that one of them reads this soon. I am still looking forward to the kit but I would just like to know what the progress is on it.

I don't know exactly who you're dealing with but try an enquiry via:

Not in its original form. I saw a while ago that the price of the Bilsteins had gone up ( I guess they would do in three years) but I think you can still get a good package deal if you contact Gary and tell him what you want. Try a PM to Sydney Kid (although he gets 100s of messages) or try his business addresses one or two posts up or the Sydney phone book - I believe he makes the Whiteline stuff under the Selby brand or something like that.

ok so rather than trying to pm sk, who has bought stuff recently and what are the prices of things now days?? need info for an RS4s/RS260...... got tax money on the way so it's suspension time!

Have a dig around in the suspension threads, there are a couple of them. One for stageas' an one for R33's maybe. Heaps of info in there.

Happy hunting...

Hi guys, sorry I have been away from my computer for a couple of days, I will try and sort out the confusion;

1, The front spring part number is 83159

2. The rear pring part number is 70191

If you have already taken them out the box don't worry. The part numbers are printed on the white tags stuck onto the last coil. The are production numbers 20191 and 23159. Logically 20191 = 70191 = rear and 23159 = 83159 = front.

I have taken a few pictures to help;

The most confusion seeams to be the rear springs so I will start there;

The spings have a tag on them like this with the above part number on it. It is usually on the top of the rear spring;

The first job is to fit the shock top protector, this gives the bump stop something flat to hit against. It is a tight fit so tap it on with a rubber or plastic hammer;

The bottom of the rear spring looks like this;

Rear_Spring_Seat_Bottom.jpg

The rear Bilstein bottom spring seat looks like this, Some guys have put it on upside down, it goes on with the machined side downwards. You can see the groove for the circlip to fit into. The spring fits onto the spring seat and should look like this;

Rear_Spring_on_Bottom_Seat.jpg

The top standard rubber fits onto the top of the spring like this. Don't worry it looks funny, but when you bolt in all together its OK.

Rear_Spring_Top_with_rubber.jpg

The standard bump stop and dust cover go on like this, slide it down to the step in shock shaft;

Rear_Shock_Bottom_Seat_and_Dust_Cover.jpg

Then install the stepped collar, like this;

Rear_Shock_Bump_Rubber_Collar_and_Retainer.jpg

The steel bump stop retainer goes on next;

Then the rubber mount, this way up

Rear_Bump_Rubber_and_Mount.jpg

Then the top steel mount;

Rear_Shock_Bump_Rubber_and_Top.jpg

Then the top rubber, the cup washer and the nut;

Hope that is of some help, I will work though the other questions in following posts

:D cheers :(

Gday All

I have just purchased the group buy shocks and spring combo off a member that didnt use them, and was wondering if it is possible to view the above pictures, or are they lost forever?

It seems that the rear shocks that I purchased have been supplied with skyline spring seats #E4-FT2-Z007A00..........

Has anyone else experienced this?

and

What are my chances of having them exchanged for stagea spring seats?

i really hope the prices have come down since the first page of this thread in 05.

$395 for camber kits is pretty steep. it rang repco for a price comparison and they were $270 plus $15 for frieght overnight. and they are exactly the same part numbers as on here. the castor kit was alot cheaper too.

but as i said they started this deal 3yrs ago maybe SK has updated his prices

  • 2 weeks later...

It's not quite closed - SydneyKid's PM box is constally full (he's got like 3 or 4 different group buys happening) and I think the prices have been changed. it's more than likely better to call him at his work or email him on his work address.

all the contact details are in various posts

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
