bilsteins on ebay

Just a heads up for those looking at purchasing these for their car.

Make sure you get all specifications and rates etc confirmed before buying.

I have been told they may not be the real deal, or the actual specs etc are not known or similar circumstance.

Hi Guys,

It was I that asked MAG86 to post this, as I was asked by a few people that were thinking of purchasing these shocks.

I have spoken to Heasman's in Sydney and they tell me they could be the real deal, but are certainly outside of factory spec and the guy wont disclose what the spec is.

For my money, if your not looking at coilovers, I would be looking at Koni regardless of the money.

I stick by the old rule, "IF it sounds too cheap, it usually is" Don't be caught short looking for a deal. Be very sure what your buying before out laying the hard earned cash.

Cheers, D

That's bullsh!t, because a 100% perfect feedback can be BOUGHT using ebay's "sqare trade" system.

If you don't like a feedback you can pay square trade and have it removed.

Hey Ghostrider and everyone else. These are being sold by me. I am the only person in Australia to have them, and they are the real deal. If anyone has any problems or questions about the authenticity of these Shocks, please ring David at Quadrant on 9769 9666 to verify that I am a legitimate reseller of these shocks. I source them direct from Germany through Quadrant, and have done for over a year. I am the only stockist of R31 Bilsteins in Oz, and had to invest a hell of a lot of money to stock them.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I go to a lot of trouble to source and/or reproduce parts for these cars.

I hope that clears it up. This rumour started when I was asked a question about how adjustable the bilsteins were by an ebay user. I replied that they are not adjustable like Koni's are adjustable, but the rears can be adjusted by height before bolt up. The ebay user accused me of being a fraud after I replied to his question, as he believed all Bilsteins were adjustable, which they are not. Some are, these are not, and never have been.

For the record, my ebay feedback is legit.

      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

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
