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!

Have a dig around in the suspension threads, there are a couple of them. One for stageas' an one for R33's maybe. Heaps of info in there.

Happy hunting...

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;

Rear_Shock_Bump_Rubber_Collar_and_Retainer.jpg

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

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
