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.

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.

Rear_Spring_Top_with_rubber.jpg

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

    • Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/
    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
