Hi all,

I have a set of KYB model number 341287 front shockers that I am looking to replace my tired worn ones in my Series 2 4WD.

Problem is that when I took them out of the box and measured the length up against the originals, the KYB's were about 20-25mm longer.

Now this promts me to ask whether they are in fact R33 GTST or R33 GTR? the suppliers reassure me that they are for the R33 GTR according to KYB listing. I remember reading somewhere that the R33 GTST's are a bit longer.

I will also be fitting lowered Kings springs (R33 GTR) to work with the KYB shocks but am concerned about the shock travel characteristics with the lowered springs as they are already longer than original (springs 30mm-40mm lower + shocks are 20-25mm longer = 50-65mm less travel in shocks than they designed for). Will they bottom out?

Questions;-

1. Is the 341287 KYB the correct part number to use for the Stagea?

2. Also does anyone know of any alternatives readily available at a reasonable price?

Nissan Aust original are about $400/pair + 2 week wait Japan.

Bilstein's are about $590/pair (B46 2107 FR Bilstein Sport B6 R33GTR)

Thanks, do you know what the correct KYB part number is?

You won't get anything in oz, you will only get japanese domestic model KYB's that are made for Stagea's, or are you after the R33 GTR ones ?

I got my Bilsteins (in NZ) for about half that by getting a set that had been traded in .The Bilstein trained guy reconditioned and valved them to suit my Stagea - you could try phoning around.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
