Just to clear it up these guys dont make ones cheap for 33 gtst's do they? :(

To be honest mate I really don't know. They don't even list Skyline on their site so what I've done is searched by the Bilstein part number. I guess if it appears in Bilstein catalogue then just hit up google and you may get lucky.

Bilsteins have arrived. In my possession!!!

I will be getting them installed on the weekend. Any tips/tricks I should know?

Can't wait to get them on the road.

For any would be purchasers, I ordered them on the 7th of May, shipping commenced on the 11th and I recieved them on the 29th. 3 week turnaround.

As a special bonus, I did not get whacked with any customs or GST at all....boooom!! Total cost AU$1240

Awesome man - lucky with the customs, I got smashed though so I expect you to get a first round of beers :cheers:

Actually, I have something to ask - get you see if you can remove the sleeve, ABS securing tab, that has a small metal tab welded on it from the fronts - You need to remove both springs (main and keeper), springs seats and the top large adjuster nut.

Why I'm asking that is that the sleeve, in between two adjuster nuts, positions the bottom adjuster really low so you can't really lower the car that much. Without the sleeve the bottom adjuster nut will sit just underneath the big adjuster, just like it does on the rears, and instead of the silly sleeve you can just use hose clamps or something similar to secure the ABS cable.

Let me know if you can remove it - you may need to slide it over the blue plastic shroud, or see if that can be also removed. Shouldn't take more than 5mins if you still don't have top hats on the suckers.

cheers

I'll have a look at it when I'm at the mechanics. I am not interested in being that low anymore. I have Hipermax on now and with the V-Spec front diffuser its a massive bitch!

Do I'm looking to add some height if anything.

I will see what the mechanic reckons about taking that sleeve off.

Check that out. Looks like they make them for all GTRs.

Not sure that the part number is.

Got them installed today. Not sure about the sleeve still unfortunately. Maybe call Heasmans in Sydney, they will be able to tell you. (02) 9516 1182

They are soooo much better than my Hipermax. Bumps are way less harsh. Its like a new car.

Thanks for the link. I managed to get the part number off there.

Just tried ordering off the TVH website but the german language has thrown me off. I've emailed them so hopefully I'll get a response on how to order.

Good to hear they're going well. I can't wait to replace my teins in the gtr :)

Yeah that's the problem I had. I was going to go through them but it doesn't look like they sell the PSS9s for the R32 model. The TVH does list the 32 model but it's all in a different language. I've sent them both an email so hopefully I get a reply.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
