Rare original NISMO Bilstein Suspension

[Fastlane]

I have bought a complete Nismo R33 GTR Suspension!

The Damper Nr : 56110 RS 598

The Spring Nr : 55020 RS 598

I´m searching some information about this!

The Seller said it is really hard, Track use only

Has anyone driven this Suspension ??

If searched the old Nismo Catalouge online but haven`t found it yet.

Any Information is welcome.

 

Thanks in Advance!

Kai

These are NOT the same as in the Parts Catalogue

Possible Motorsports Suspension ???

BUT the Damper  are not adjustable , only Ride Height

I had a set of Nismo labelled Bilsteins in my Stagea. Pretty sure they are just stock Bilsteins with the Nismo name added. You should have two sets of part numbers...front and rear will be different. When I get home I will have a look at the part numbers which I have recorded. You may be able to get some information from Bilstein (particularly as you are in Germany)...

OK my Nismo shocks (on an awd WGNC34 Stagea so similar to GTR suspension) were:

front: 56110-RSC45 ENP

rear:   53210-RSC45 ENP

I used Tein Springs

Thanks !

The Numbers of the shocks are diffrent thats true.

Bilstein

front 56110 RS 598

rear 56210 RS 598

The Numbers of the Springs are the same

55020 RS 598

at the moment im waiting for a recall from Bilstein

they have their Headquarter 29km away and they can rebuild the shocks for a reasonable price.

Bilstein has no information.

Send an Email to Nismo

Nobody any Information out there???

The simple answer is that they are nothing "special". They are Bilstein dampers, which makes them very nice, capable dampers that last a long time, can work across a fairly wide range of spring rates and soak up a lot of bumpiness with good comfort levels. They're basically a B8 equivalent, I think.

[Fastlane]

For sure there is nothing " special"

This Shocks are similar to the old Bilstein B16 Model.

I only want to know for what purpose they are!

They are not listed in any Nismo Catalogue  i found, but why ?

they were not sold to end customers?

I will testdrive them and if needed i will let them overhaul by Bilstein

If they are indeed rock hard then when you get them recond you should be able to get them revalved  so they are more streetable.

I would doubt that they are rock hard. That sounds neither like Nismo nor Bilstein.

So a little update :

I brought the Shocks to Bilstein for an overhaule.

For 480€ the came with new Rods an new front rubber bushings.

They Changed the complet setting to Road use, cause i mostly drive on Country Roads.

Now it is more comfortabel, like the stock shocks.

Bilstein says the original setting was for Track use only, rock hard.

Then I gave them a new paint and polished the springplate.

For the Boots i used VW ones , cause originals are not available. FebiPart No.08071

The Top Bushings are KYB SM 5123 i had to shorten them for 1cm .
