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.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
