Help me Obi Wan SKenobi !

I really need to find out some info about ETA for delivery... just something. It feels like my money has been taken and you've left the country (though I'm sure that's not the case). I've tried PMing you many times but your mailbox is always full, so I have to resort to posting in this thread.

Please PM me your contact details or email me at this address: the_epoch .at. hotmail.com

^^^Thats no good ^^^

Well I'm hoping that one of them reads this soon. I am still looking forward to the kit but I would just like to know what the progress is on it.

I don't know exactly who you're dealing with but try an enquiry via:

Not in its original form. I saw a while ago that the price of the Bilsteins had gone up ( I guess they would do in three years) but I think you can still get a good package deal if you contact Gary and tell him what you want. Try a PM to Sydney Kid (although he gets 100s of messages) or try his business addresses one or two posts up or the Sydney phone book - I believe he makes the Whiteline stuff under the Selby brand or something like that.

ok so rather than trying to pm sk, who has bought stuff recently and what are the prices of things now days?? need info for an RS4s/RS260...... got tax money on the way so it's suspension time!

Hi guys, sorry I have been away from my computer for a couple of days, I will try and sort out the confusion;

1, The front spring part number is 83159

2. The rear pring part number is 70191

If you have already taken them out the box don't worry. The part numbers are printed on the white tags stuck onto the last coil. The are production numbers 20191 and 23159. Logically 20191 = 70191 = rear and 23159 = 83159 = front.

I have taken a few pictures to help;

The most confusion seeams to be the rear springs so I will start there;

The spings have a tag on them like this with the above part number on it. It is usually on the top of the rear spring;

The first job is to fit the shock top protector, this gives the bump stop something flat to hit against. It is a tight fit so tap it on with a rubber or plastic hammer;

The bottom of the rear spring looks like this;

Rear_Spring_Seat_Bottom.jpg

The rear Bilstein bottom spring seat looks like this, Some guys have put it on upside down, it goes on with the machined side downwards. You can see the groove for the circlip to fit into. The spring fits onto the spring seat and should look like this;

Rear_Spring_on_Bottom_Seat.jpg

The top standard rubber fits onto the top of the spring like this. Don't worry it looks funny, but when you bolt in all together its OK.

The standard bump stop and dust cover go on like this, slide it down to the step in shock shaft;

Rear_Shock_Bottom_Seat_and_Dust_Cover.jpg

Then install the stepped collar, like this;

The steel bump stop retainer goes on next;

Then the rubber mount, this way up

Rear_Bump_Rubber_and_Mount.jpg

Then the top steel mount;

Rear_Shock_Bump_Rubber_and_Top.jpg

Then the top rubber, the cup washer and the nut;

Hope that is of some help, I will work though the other questions in following posts

:D cheers :(

Gday All

I have just purchased the group buy shocks and spring combo off a member that didnt use them, and was wondering if it is possible to view the above pictures, or are they lost forever?

It seems that the rear shocks that I purchased have been supplied with skyline spring seats #E4-FT2-Z007A00..........

Has anyone else experienced this?

and

What are my chances of having them exchanged for stagea spring seats?

i really hope the prices have come down since the first page of this thread in 05.

$395 for camber kits is pretty steep. it rang repco for a price comparison and they were $270 plus $15 for frieght overnight. and they are exactly the same part numbers as on here. the castor kit was alot cheaper too.

but as i said they started this deal 3yrs ago maybe SK has updated his prices

  • 2 weeks later...

It's not quite closed - SydneyKid's PM box is constally full (he's got like 3 or 4 different group buys happening) and I think the prices have been changed. it's more than likely better to call him at his work or email him on his work address.

all the contact details are in various posts

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
