I need to pull the shocks out of my car to have some work done and probably wont have them back until mid January. I don’t have the stock shocks or anything else to put in it in the interim so probably wont be able to use the car for another month. Dose any one in Melb have a set of stock shocks I can buy or borrow to get me mobile again? Thanks

Let me know if you need a Stagea in Melbourne to test fit or get any measurements off.

68l tank I think

I wouldn’t mind a set the wind noise and leaks in torrential rain are a bit annoying.

Dont some of the EVO models have rear facing vents? But vents in most applications vents are a joke and make automotive engineers laugh when goons with no idea put them in. Even many factory vents serve not purpose. In some cases exit vents in the bonnet will reduce airflow around critical areas such as the oil filter, sump, front diff and oil cooler. Raising the rear of the bonnet is just as bad the air will flow through the radiator then up across the top of the engine and out the back. It will not flow over the exhaust manifolds, turbo, oil cooler, sump, diff and gear box.

Nooo some body make him stop

Thanks Guys Revzone looks the goods. Nice and close to home for me. I think I will try to get it into them before Christmas.

R33 mats should fit fine. The mats in my 4 door R33 were the same as in a 2 door. The floor pan is the same until behind the rear axel

Put me down for one.

Can any one recommend a good workshop in Melbourne to do a 100k service on the Stag and give the Apexi SAFC a tune? I will probably get them to fit an adjustable Cam sprocket while they are at it. Thanks

Thanks Gary I am about to go raise the rear up a grove now so I wont need to trim the bump stops then. The part numbers I have for the front spring and lower spring seat are correct but the bottom ID of the spring is 86mm.

I just put the rears in. It was a piss easy job to get the old coil overs out and the new Bilsteins in. I left them on the standard circlip groove 3rd from the bottom and it is sitting at about 330mm, probably a bit low so I will move them up a grove for a bit more height. The only thing I wasn’t sure about was the bump stops. I didn’t trim them at all as SK had suggested. They didn’t look anything like the ones marked up for trimming so i wasnt sure how much to take off. It looks like it is just about sitting on the bump stops now. Any tips on how long the bump stops should be and what end to trim? I also assembled the fronts but didn’t put them in because the lower spring seat dose not look right at all. The spring seems too big and it is almost pushing over the spring seat. Im worried that the first bump I hit the spring will move a bit and push over the seat. Then I will be in all sorts of trouble.

Looks like a R33 brace to me

Item: R33 GTS-T or GTR Front Shocks Location: Melbourne Extra Info: Im after a set of stock R33 shocks to donate their strut top / upper spring seat to use with Bilstine shocks. I only need the tops but will take the whole lot it the price is reasinable. Contact Details: Chris 0439 304 903

There is a cable operated drum brake on each wheel inside the disk. It is a separate mechanism to the Disk brake caliper and has its own pads. They should be exactly the same as on any R32 on Skyline.
