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?

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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
