Hi Gary,

Can you please advise the final cost of the complete kit sent to Brisbane please.

I am chasing the entire kit, need to replace my super-stiff and annoying Tein coilers front and rear the rest of the suspension is standard.

Will i need the bump stops?

Kind regards

Simon

  • 2 weeks later...

shocks went in today and work great!!

car rides nicely and very smooth still - onyl slightly harder than stock, but definately handles better and sits 24mm lower than stock

for everyone's reference, i used the bilstean shocks on stock springs dropped down 3 circlip grooves...

i might get the rear guards rolled for precaution given that i'm running 9" rears with +40 offset

a question for everyone though:

when i picked the car up, they said that something else was also worn out. they pointed it out on the car, but i don't know what its called. it connects from the lower control arm to something under the engine. looks like a rod with a ball-shaped thing on the end

can anyone enlighten me as to what it is and whether or not it actually might need replacing?

oh, and i had the suspension fitted at Vitanza Tyres in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane. Highly recommended for tyres and suspension

cheers,

Warren

possible radius rod bushing but im really not too sure what ur describing by ur description. Take a pic if u can.

yeh thats what i reckon it is too, also know as caster rods and tension rods.

yeha from what ive been told they prevent movement of the control arm under accel and braking in order to prevent castor and camber changes in the steering geometry...But as i sed im unsure whether this is the part he means...need a pic to be 100% sure

ok so this is a picture of what is supposedly worn on my car..

it has some oil/moisture around it, but not as bad as in this picture

so my questions are:

- what is it called?

- are they on front and rear or just front?

- where can i get a replacement?

would appreciate any help!

ok i have done some more research..

i think they are castor rod bushes...

and i understand that new ones can be had through the group buy, is that correct SK?

do those have the same functionality as the stock ones?

cheers,

Warren

Theyre caster rod/radius rod bushes.

i just had mine replaced coz they were completely cracked

the group buy has them, KCA331.

otherwise theyre about $360 from nissan i think

the stock ones arent adjustable whereas the whiteline are.

I'd say thats the only difference....probably last longer too

Anyone considering an R32GTST kit should move quickly as there is only 1 set of R32GTST rear shocks left in stock. No production is currently scheduled, so it may be many months before Bilstein do another production run.

There is no alternative shock available, R33 and R34 rear shocks are too long and R32GTR rear shocks have the fork at the bottom not the bush.

:wub: cheers :yes:

There is only 1 (yes ONE) set of R32GTST rear Bilsteins left in stock at Bilstein. There are no shipments planned and there is no production schedule. So when this set is sold I will close the Group Buy.

:D cheers :wave:

hi sk

will you be able to ship a set of front and rear shocks to Cape Town; South Africa? what will shipping cost be?

Thanks

Shipping will be more than the shocks cost, try the SA Bilstein agent.

:P cheers :D

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
