Hi Chris, wow that was quick delivery, they only left around 3.30pm Friday. Yep C90-20191 = 70191 (Should have had 70191 on the box) The shocks come with the circlips in the standard groove. Since

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?

cheers

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?

:laugh: cheers :)

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!

Cheers

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.

:P cheers :happy:

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.

:( cheers :ninja:

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).

:laugh: Cheers :rant:

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,

Scott R

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.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
