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.

:) cheers :)

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.

:pirate: cheers :ph34r:

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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
