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

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
