Sk,

duno if you got my pm. I'm interested in getting everything besides the sway bars at this stage, please work out a price and send me payment instructions.

Cheers,

Dave

Dave has bought the last set of R32GTR front Bilsteins, if you have an R32GTR and are desparate I can arrange an alternative. There is extra cost (around $100) as they would have to be revalved to suite. There are still some sets of rears in stock at Bilstein. Consequenlty I will hold the Group Buy open as long as I can.

:thumbsup: cheers :)

Hi there sydneykid.. sorry to msg u here.. your pm box is full.. just checking whether you received my pm about springs/shocks for my r34 gt-4

cheers

PM sent

:D cheers :P

Hi there SK,

I have a few knocks from the front and back of my 32 GTR and can see a few worn bushes around.

Question is that if I replace:

Front and rear Camber Bush's

Caster Bush's

Cradle Bush's

Would this cover all the suspension related bush's or are there others?

Also I believe that the front camber kit is reduced to $183?

Thanks for your help!

  • 2 weeks later...

Good news, after much searching I have been able to find 10 sets of R32GTR front Bilsteins and they arrived today.

Update, 2 sets have already sold, so don't delay.

:pirate: cheers :kiss:

Thanks SK

Finally got my kit installed, I went with a stiffer spring and some adjustable rear upper arms that were'nt in the kit, but essentially the full GB. You get used to driving on the street with saggy suspension but when you get it on the track it really focuses you on the problem. The handling is now sharp and predictable, this street package plus my extras delievers as advertised... good scope for adjustment for MC days etc yet compliant enough for the street. The ride height advice was spot on too. Money well spent, also thanks to W.A. Suspensions for the excellent advice and install

SK,

I'm a definite... Put me down for the full monty please.

Just got to find a pair of standard rear upper control arms (Anyone???) or a pair of adjustable rear track bars to compliment the adjustable rear upper control arms I already have... anyone know where to source these?

Regards,

Shuey R32

SK,

If I wanted a slightly harder spring for the rear end of my R what would be the least painful way of getting it done & would the shocks need revalving? All the reast of the suspension kit is from the parts list on this thread.

hi sk i would like to order 4 bilsteins and 2 sets of bump stops for r32gtr i have worked out the cost to be $1195 is this correct?. if available can you pm me so i can transfer money , thanks loren.

Whiltein only make the one rear spring rate, you would have to go to a coil over kit.

Revalving depends an how much higher spring rate you want to use.

We should take this to a PM, rather than clog up a Group Buy thread.

:thumbsup: cheers :laugh:

Sorry, this Group Buy is closed for shocks as there is no more stock of rear R32GTR Bilsteins. I will re-open it for shocks when the next shipment is confirmed.

The other items (springs, bushes and stabilsier bars) are still available however.

:( Merry Xmas to all at SAU :)

OK, but your in box is full and/or disabled...

Gary, I have finally got enough money to get the rest of the stuff i need. If i was to order bushes/stabilizer bars now when could i expect them to be delivered with all the christmas stuff going on? Thanks

Bushes are usually in stock at Whiteline

Stabiliser bars take 4-5 working days to make as Whiteline do not keep stock

Delivery is via Toll priority and usually takes 1-2 working days to anywhere in Australia.

So, no chance before Xmas, closed between Xmas and New Year. My guess would be 5th January, but that's just a guess.

:P cheers ;)

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
