hey i just wanted to double check.. all 4 wheels are meant to be 350mm to the guard yeah ?? or is the rear differant to the front ?? thanks ;)

no, the front should be a bit more than the rear.... makes the car 'level'....

The Xmas rush has started, if you want suspension before the holiday break (22/12/06 to 3/1/07) then best not to delay too long.

:pirate: cheers :kiss:

  • 2 weeks later...

There is currently zero stock of R33GTST front Bilsteins at Bilstein Australia. Production is scheduled in Germany early in the new year. I don't know how many shocks will be in the shipment, so I strongly suggest that you get in now. Jamex have agreed to take a $400 deposit to secure your shocks.

:P cheers :D

Sorry, this Group Buy is closed for shocks as there is no more stock of front R33GTST Bilsteins. I will re-open it when the next shipment is confirmed.

The other items (springs, bushes and stabilsier bars) are still available however.

:( Merry Xmas to all at SAU :)

So the bilsteins will be available again? Got a rough idea of when?

They are on the Bilstein Germany Production List, but they have no confirmed shipping date. When I know I will post it up.

:( cheers :)

damn! same here, was on my list of things to do in the new year. oh well, lets play the waiting game i guess. give me more time to save anyway. will be keeping an eye on this thread for when the arrive.

Hey Gary,

It might be in the thread somewhere, but its not in the first post...Was wondering what the model numbers for the whiteline springs are?

I know you've chosen the shocks to suit them, and added the extra groove, but are the springs just a regular whiteline product?

cheers.

hey everyone, here are some pics of the kit assembled. I know they are going under the car and all, but damn, they look good.

Oh, and I dropped my old stockers, the new kit, and the extra parts off at pedders, and they put all 4 together for me for $100 neat.

Excellent service.

Oh, and Gary, I decided to get the circlips at 342mm on the front, and 340mm at the back. This will allow 5mm sag after they set in, leaving me with 337mm Front Guard Height, and 335 Rear guard height making the car look level. This will also give 13mm rake, which is as close as I could get to your recommended 10mm setting. Hope this sounds ok!

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
