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

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
