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

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
