Hi all,

Cleaning out the last of my R33 GTR parts and I have 2 sets of shocks for sale.

First off is the Sydney Kid R33 GTR kit. I had this in my R33 GTR for about 4000km, but the new owner of the car wanted the price lowered so this came out and in went an R34 setup instead. Spring rates are 4/3KG and are valved as per Sydney Kids group buy kit. Handles great as many will agree with.

Paid $1500 but will accept offers around $1000 and will negotiate/swap for parts and cash depending on what you have to offer.

The second set of bilsteins are of an unknown valving configuration. They are pretty firm but are re-buildable so for anyone wanting to make a custom set they are a cheap starting point. $150 ono.

Parts are located in Cairns, North Queensland. Will freight anywhere. PM or call me on 0434 147 478 if your interested.

Are they Both off GTR's??

Yes indeed, both sets are R33 GTR, but also fit an R34 GTR and R34 GTT.

The setup pictured on the right is the sydney kid setup with the 4/3kg springs

The shocks on the left are the unknows that can be used as cores for a rebuild/custom dampner setup. No springs on this set though as you can see. When you go custom the springs need to match your valving anyway so you'd buy new springs to suit what you would have done to the shocks.

Are the Sydneykid Bilsteins valved for street or for track?

What are the differences between R32 and R33GTR Shocks? I notice the rear lower mount looks wider, are there any other differences?

Are they Sydneykids Eibach springs?

They are very streetable but work on the track as well (though I'd never done anything more than a motorkarna event with them in my previous R33 GTR). They were a huge improvement over my Teins that I had previously.

Yes they are eibach springs, 4/3Kg. I have no idea how they compare to an R32 GTR setup. Its possible the top hats just need changing to make them compatible but I dont really know and I dont have any means of comparison either... sorry.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
