There are no R32GTR Bilsteins left.

Bilsteins are attempting to get an airfreight shipment during the next 3 weeks.

However there will be only limited numbers in the shipment.

So place your orders now to avoid dissapointment.

:blink: cheers :)

It is possible if i can but the shocks now(if they get more stock), then later on down the track when i have more money i can buy the rest of the gear?

Yep, no problems, that can be done.

As an alternative, some guys have a left a deposit ($400) and Jamex puts their shocks aside until they pay for the rest.

:whistling: cheers :P

oh i will do that, do you know if there will be any more before the 5 months? my rear left shock is more like a pogo stick then anything.

after realising i read you post wrong, i will be depositing money for them.

PM replied to.

Bilstein received a small airfreight shipment of R32GTR Bilsteins today.

This Group Buy is re-opened.

:wave: cheers :laugh:

Whats a recommended package to buy?

Would it be shocks, springs and stablisers? What about Polyulethane(sp?) or Nolethane(sp?) bushes, are they included with any of it?

cheers

I have included everything that I think is necessary in the list of parts.

I haven't included anything that I think is unnecessary.

The shocks have been selected so that their valving matches the spring and stabiliser bar rates.

The suggested alignment settings are included, to suit the parts used.

The bushes are necessary to achieve those recommendations (there are no standard adjusters, except small rear camber).

PM me for further details.

:yes: cheers :D

Anyone got pics of the rear strut brace?

Yellow ends, with polished alloy rod, adjusting nuts at each end of the rod where it bolts to the ends.

:rofl: cheers :P

Good news and bad news.

The bad news is the small airfreight shipment of rear shocks that Bilstein received in July has sold out.

The good news is there are 20 (10 pairs) of rear R32GTR shocks arriving early September via seafreight.

The bad news is there is ZERO stock at Bilstein in Germany and no production is currently scheduled this side of Xmas.

The good news is there are an equal number of fronts in stock.

So, if you want a set I strongly suggest that you get in now.

:mellow: cheers :)

G'day Gary....

I see the R33GTR race setup, nice work!!! and great laps times!

will there be an R32 GTR race package also? and will it be any different without the shocks? i.e. is it the dampers and springs only that are different?

The stabilser bar rates are different, the camber and toe settings are, of course, different and the rear sub frame alignment settings are different also.

The R32GTR shocks and springs will be quite a while, they haven't even made a prototype yet.

cheers

PS; PM me if you like, I will let you know what the kit will be otherwise.

Have you gone any further with this kit. I was at Sandown saturday and the car was very unstable all around the track. Shocks must be on the way out. Has there been any progress with the race setup shock valving as I am in desperate need of some shocks and srings. (Modified my group buy whiteline springs to fit my teins).

I noticed in your track suspension setup replies to other people you recommend a 24mm front swaybar but supplied me a 22mm. Was there any reason for this. I only just realised.

Whiteline are currently changing their high end shock and spring supplier, so no news on a circuit kit from them.

In the interim I have tested quite a few different valving setups with the Bilsteins for circuit work. I used a coil over conversion kit with Eibach coil springs. They work very well with "R" type tyres or full slicks (different rates used of course).

If I remember rightly, the 22mm bar was supplied because you had Teins with rediculously high spring rates.

What rear bar do you have?

PM me for more details

:mad: cheers :laugh:

Hi SK,

The bushes and strut bar still havnet arrived. I sent you a couple of PMs but no response. Can you let me know when i should expect the kit to arrive? (order was placed on the 5th).

Cheers,

PM resent.

:) cheers :)

PM resent.

Thanks SK,

The kit arrived today. Two questions tho;

- Do the rear upper arm suspension bushes require a press for removal/installation? (Or can i do it myself)

- Rougly how many hours work so you think it would taker a shop to fit all four bushes? (I might just get the aligner to do it)

Cheers.

Kot

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
