^^^ Yes thats what I paid but we all know they are worth more than that. I actually bought these for my own car not just to sell on mate, which I am assuming you are implying by linking the original auction link, you can ask anyone that knows me I was running these in my car for weeks in between my Bilsteins and the coilovers I am now running. Not that I have to justify myself, as I know I am a trusted seller on here when I sell due to upgrading, but below I have detailed the purchase of these as I have nothing to hide.

I actually had to travel a 50kms round trip to pick them up after countless phone calls to the seller at my expense (seller was very difficult to get a hold of and actually arrange a time and place to meet wasting lots of my time). Upon buying them I fully disembled both shocks/springs professionally to test the insert and thoroughly clean them. I then fitted these to my R33 (Not the easiest of jobs requiring rear seat removal etc) and drove on them for a couple of weeks. If i merely bought them and sold them for more and there was actually something wrong with them then I could see your point in posting where I originally bought them but I actually bought these for myself and am now selling due to upgrading.

Now as to why I am asking more than I paid. The adjustable shocks alone retail for ~$280 a piece at Car Torque which is just the shocks no springs, top plates etc etc. I also spent a lot of time and effort in getting them and testing them so as a result I am selling them for less than what they are really worth and not the price I paid.

If you are not a serious buyer please do not post in any of my future posts I have nothing to hide and will only sell a item that is A1!

All serious buyers are welcome to make a offer but am reasonably firm. Shocks are in mint condition will pull apart and demonstrate to buyer if required.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
