Hi guys,

I'm selling the bilstein set-up on my GTR. It's been a great set-up for road and track but I'm stepping things up a notch now with some more hard corey suspension. They are height adjustable via circlip retained spring platforms. They are in good shape with no leaks or problems what so ever. A compareable kit would cost around $1600 and up new. I'm asking $1100. No pics as yet as they are still on my car, but anyone is welcome to come and take a look (sydney, lower north shore) and they can be removed with a days notice. Also anyone who looks at my trader rating I'm sure would know that I wouldn't over sell any of my parts. They are tip top.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the coilovers from Bilstein were custom made to fit the right car?

Would they be able to fit a R33GTST? Or are they only setup for GTR's?

Cheers

Hi aquariuz. Unfortunately I dont think they will fit 33 GTST. From memory GTST use an eye style set-up on the bottom shock mounts all round, where as GTR use fork style on the rear. I think nissan desinged things this way to stop people using GTR parts on GTST :( Either way, you are right, they would not be perfectly suited for GTST anyway.

Hi Ecenshu, not 100% sure on the exact rates but can check them once they are out. From memory they are 6K front and 5K rear. These were not from the sydney kid group buy. and I can assure you the valving in them is lovely :laugh:

update. new suspension arrived yesterday arvo, so the bilteins will be out and ready for postage/pick-up some time next week.

if you are after a good, proven set-up for your GTR then dont miss out as these are a bargain at $1100.

well since you asked, I'll let the pics do the talking. Nismo G Attack R-Tune branded Ohlins. 4 way adjustment. all alloy shocks. remote canisters. 600 different levels of adjustment per shock... etc. the holy grail of GTR suspension... lol

haha, this has now turned into the Beer Barons new set-up discussion thread! sorry guys, but I must stay on topic.

Bilsteins are coming out this coming week. So anyone who is looking for the gun set-up for their BNR32 GTR can snap up a bargain. These babies really do perform well above their price range. I'm still sceptical if even the mega $$ nismo/ohlins will be any better around a track.

well bilstein removal has been pushed back a week while I get my new stuff dyno'd before i fit them.

anyone who is in sydney and serious about buying them could probably pm me and we can arrange a time for you to come and see/feel them working in the car before I whip them out.

Hey Baron - are these still for sale & also do you have the part numbers for the dampers (eg B46-1672 & B46-1673 or similar).

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
