hey gary,

has anyone else experienced difficulty fitting front bushes into the stock clamps?

do you require a whiteline clamp as well to suit the bnf28 bar?

The Whiteline polyurethane D bushes are a tight fit into the standard D brackets. It has happened (very infrequently) that Whiteline have supplied the wrong D bushes with the bar. A couple of quick tests;

1. Try fitting one of the D bushes to a D bracket, without the bar in the D bush. It should fit easily, with only very mild distortion of its moulded shape.

2. Next try fitting one of the D bushes to the bar, without the D bush being in the D bracket. It should fit easily, with only a very small gap where the bush is cut.

If the above tests indicate problems, D bushes usually have a part number moulded into the flat side. What is it on the bushes you have?

Thanks Gary,

The D-bush i have has #1484/24 stamped onto top.

The bar that came off my r32 was only 20mm im not sure if that has created the problem or not.

I have managed to fit it with a couple of mods;

1- I ground down the top of the D-bush approx. 2mm

2- I then added 5mm spacers between the D-bracket and chassis

I also sanded off the paint which adds up to 1mm thickness

The bar fits in perfectly now, not too tight that it looks like it is binding up.

I couldnt start any of the bolts before!

The bush part #1484/24 is the correct one and I haven't had anyone else report issue like this. As I said, they are a tight fit, but your level of required mods seems excessive, 1 mm + 2 mm + 5 mm = 8mm too big, that's way over the top. I will have Whiteline check the dimensions of the 1484/24 just to make sure that there is no moulding error.

Bilstein Australia have received a small shipment of R32GTST rear shocks. Those guys with back orders, I will be contacting you tomorrow regarding delivery of your shocks. Thank you for being patient. Anyone thinking of buying a kit, my best suggestion is to get in now, they won't last very long.

cheers

Gary,

I haven't heard from you and want to confirm that I am on the list as I placed my order in December when there was only 1 rear shock left. I may be jumping the gun but I'm getting a little nervous as I haven't received a PM from you.

Thanks.

Any chance of the Bilstein/Eibach coilovers like in the S14/S15 groupbuys?

I.e. A more track oriented setup

Yes, just ask, plenty of guys have.

The reason for the S13/14/15 coil overs is to allow height adjustment. Which the Skylines don't need, as the additional cirlcip grooves on the Bilstein shocks provide that facility.

Hi Gary (Sydney Kid) I tried to send a PM with payment receipt no

and part numbers but your inbox is full.

Cheers Grant

[Sydneykid]

Sorry all, I have been out of action for 3 days, somebody gave me a nice little virus. So the PM inbox filled up, but it has been cleared now. So if you could n’t get a message though over the last couple of days please try again.

For those that did get a PM in before the overflow, please be patient I will get to them all sometime today (or tonight).

Cheers

I am off to Bathurst tomorrow for the 12 Hour race, the race team is running (not a Skyline) and I have to do my Team Manager thing. I will be back on Tuesday, so please excuse the slow responses to posts and PM's.

Hi SK,

Been looking at this group buy for a while now.. Was wondering if you'd be able to do anything the same in New Zealand? Understand it's not probably the easiest but i've been looking for one of these setups for a while (I quite like Whiteline gear) even if I can get the Bilstiens revalved over here or similar.. Or any idea about freight from AU > NZ?

Thanks,

is it possible to get a price on whiteline control springs to suit a soarer?

Same Group Buy price, $144 a pair plus $10 freight.

If you are contemplating using standard shocks & lowered springs, I suggest you have a read of this thread.
