Im selling my used Bilsteins off my R32 GTSt. They are Whiteline Bilsteins with rear Whiteline springs, and King springs on the front. Have travelled approximately 70-80,000kms. No leaks and visually appear to be in good condition. Were removed and visually inspected at 60,000kms point, shocks found to be in good condition, front springs were replaced at this time.

Upgrading because ithe car on semi slicks at the track is simply too fast for what is effectively street suspension. Was planning on putting new higher rate springs and rebuild, but brand new shocks have fallen into my lap and will be using them.

Can no longer drive with in car as they were just removed...happy for them to undergo any imspection before payment. Testsament to Bilstein quality was the caer still drive well with them on the street or when on road tyres at skidpans and motorkhana work.

Updated price

Asking $450 ($90/shock, $45 per pair of springs)

having taken a trip in the car in question I can attest to the fact that it rides very nicely, and handles very well. for the little doers out there the bilsteins are an amazing upgrade for the money. you wont get anywhere near this kind of suspension performance for this money.

For $1000 i will throw in custom adjustable Whiteline Swaybars, 27mm front and 24mm rear. As is, this setup is good enough to on the right tyres lap tracks quicker then majority of rwd track cars. Great power down even with 250rwkws.

Yeh, happy to split.

A few pics with different wheels. Essentially the ride height is as per the Whiteline recommendations for ride height and is entirely legal, even with a HKS Hyper exhaust hanging under the car.

This one will give you an idea of hte body roll with smaller swaybars then i currently run. (ie has less bodyroll with the swaybars im selling in the above post)

LOL...what are they worth then? Since new Bilsteins are arounf $1200 then you need springs which are about another $300, i thought my price was reasonable. Have two seperate prices for rebuilding these at approx $125-150 each. So could be an option for someone wanting to use them as a basis of a custom/tailerred setup, (as was my plan)

Hi Roy,

Not sure if you got my PM from the other day, i don't mean to come across pushy, but I'm pretty desparate for those rears if you've still got 'em. I left my mobile in the PM, or you can email me here: [email protected]

Cheers,

matt

A few ppl have shown interest in just the rears. if you post up and between two people can find a home for both ends then i will split the suspension up. Hoewever without a guaranteed sale for the all four shocks i will be very reluctant to split.

The fronts will also fit an R33 GTS25t if that helps.

Otherwise im going through one of my fits of annoyance with parts i haev laying around. So if you want them...make a reasonable offer

Still sitting at the mechanics so havent been able to get the pics sorted....but offers? The verdict is the suspension is not faulty, just that i was asking too much from what is effectively a street setup that works well on the track with street tyres. Throw semi slicks and 160rwkws and some decent enough track times and it was a bit out of its element, though can be revalved to suit such as application for about $150 a corner and new sprinds at around $600

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
