Guys have sitting in my shed cupboard a complete set of front and rear adjustable Bilstein shocks and matching whiteline springs to fit S1 & S2 Stagea. I bought them a while back and never got round to fitting them as my wife drives the car most the time and doesn't seem to be able to wrap her head around slowing down for bumps. I kept the suspension in the hope that this would change, which is has not. So I can't bring myself to lower the S2 caus I know its jsut going to be hammered if I do.

The whole package has never been fitted to the car and is brand new, even has the original bilstein box.

Package is located on Sunshine Coast in QLD, 4575, but am happy to post at buyers expense. Price is $1000.00 so thats $250 per corner.

Thanks guys

Ben

I am interested. Very interested.

Do you have pics, and postage quote for Adelaide? I posted stock front and rear shocks (2 separate packages) about $30 each from memory (for anyone else who wants to know too). I assume they'd be close to same weight?

How much to ship to Tullamarine (Victoria). i've been looking to lower my car and don't really want to get coilovers

I'll sus it out for ya in the morning. I'm heading to the post office so I'll let you guys know as soon as I do.

Thanks

PS Inmate, would prefer not to send COD. Can do through paypal or something though if you want some extra security.

As far as I can see, there are no hats (strut tops) in the package, is that correct? (which bolts up to the strut towers in the engine bay)

Also do you know what the spring rates are and how much lower they are to stock?

Thanks

:thumbsup:

Hey Ruby,

What you see is what you get. I'm not sure what "hats" look like so if they're not in the pics then they don't come with the package. Have a look here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...mp;hl=group+buy

This was the original group buy and there is a lot of info there. Should be able to find all the answers to your questions there. I'm not sure about how much lower it'll make the car, it'll depend on where you put the circlips on the shocks. I'm not sure on spring rates. Sydney Kid (who organised the group buy) chose the best spring rates based on his experience, I'm not sure on what they are though.

Hopefully you can find all the answers to your questions in the link I provided.

Thanks

Sorry mate, I'm gunna have to withdraw my dibs. The kit doesn't look like its complete, as I need to replace my whole suspension.

The "hats" are the tops of the suspension which slot into the strut tower.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
