Item: ohlins shocks and eibach springs to suit 33 gtr

Age: unknown. have been on the shelf for 3 years

Condition: excellent. no leaks

Price: 900 firm, pickup in sydney

To Fit: (What car) 33 gtr. (34 as well?)

Location: Sydney

Comments:

valving and springs matched by the good people at Mines.

circlip adjustable ride height (and full adjustable spring seat conversion is possible if you need it using a threaded base like Sydneykid does on his bilsteins). plenty of ride height options on the fronts, only 3 on the rear but it is easy to add more.

adjustable damping

eibach springs

pillowball top mounts

these are excellent shocks, not a set of japanese monroes like a lot of the coilover kits going around.

Judging buy the length and width of the spring as well as distance from each coil I would say it would be street.

My Ohlin Springs make those springs look tiny.

yeah sorry I don't know the exact spring trates but they are definately road spec, not silly rattle your teeth out track spec (although they will still be fine for the occasional track day, especially if you do sway bars as well).

i run pretty much the same setup on my r33 gtst

great shock, pretty firm but not too crazy for the street.

shock reconditioners in browns plains are also able to rebuild and re-valve these

they have quoted me $220 a shock to do so.

Good luck with the sale Duncan :D

I have these for my R33 GTR. They are an exceptional item. I have used them on the track with no worries. Maybe slightly soft, but on a road/track car they are perfect. The adjustable damper goes so hard they almost feel like solid rods.

just in case anyone cares, Biketek in Leumeah (Frank) is the go-to guy for ohlins service and reconditioning.

His front desk has all these posters signed by superbike riders. "Thanks, Frank." type scribbles on them..

he charges less then $200 for full servicing per shock, and that is worst case ..

He is doing my ohlins flag-r right now.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
