R34 Gtt Bilstein & Whiteline Suspension

[Sydneykid]

damn secrets

sounds good Gary.

Well, if i were to get the adjustable stabiliser bars, i'm not in any danger of that part being modified anytime soon am i? I'd rather wait if you're going to change that part of the kit in the next few months.

Eventually, i hope to put together the WHOLE kit, but will have to do it bit by bit at this stage. Stabiliser bars being the most obvious starting point.

Is there any dramas just getting the stabiliser bars on their own? do i need to buy any of the other parts at the same time?

cheers for the quick reply

One of the drawers in my home office filing cabinets is full of confidentiality agreements. That’s how much people protect their IP these days.

No change in the Group Buy stabiliser bars on the horizon. I am very happy with their function. They come complete with everything you need to fit them. So order away, with total confidence.

I am off to Bathurst tomorrow for the 12 Hour race, the race team is running (not a Skyline) and I have to do my Team Manager thing. I will be back on Tuesday, so please excuse the slow responses to posts and PM's.

Roughly how much would it cost to get all this stuff installed if you took it to a suspension place? or is it the kind of thing you can do at home?

With home garage tools, most guys can do everything except press the bushes in ($50) and the 4 wheel alignment ($whatever).

If you get a decent suspension workshop to do the whole lot, it will take one guy a full day. So multiply 7 hours by their hourly rate.

Nope, the Bilsteins are a straight replacement for the standard shocks

Hi guys, my inbox is filling up faster than I can respond to the PM’s. I usually get 30 to 40 PM’s a day. With the current delay in delivery, that has increased to 40 to 50 per day and I just can’t keep up with that sort of volume. Particularly as some of the more technical PM’s take 10 to 15 minutes each to reply to and my available time has decreased dramatically for reasons which will become obvious shortly.

I feel that I need to “broadcast” a Group Buy update until I can clear the backlog of PM’s. Here is the current situation;

1. A little back ground first. As you may be aware Redranger and Whiteline merged a couple of months ago. The first step was a merger of Sales, Marketing and Distribution functions and Whiteline’s Minto premises were simply not large enough to accommodate this. So the premises adjacent to Redranger at Somersby were acquired and that was utilised for the larger, merged entity. Some people have taken this as a sign that Redranger “took over” Whiteline, when that is in fact not the case, it is a true merger.

The Whiteline manufacturing premises at Minto remain. More news on that shortly.

2. How this affects the Group Buys. Many of the products that I specified for the Group Buy Kits are unique, it is what makes the kits “work” better than any other Skyline suspension update. This uniqueness has been possible because of my knowledge of the systems within Whiteline (plus Bilstein, of course). The Redranger merger has disrupted that system and the “unique” (to the Group Buy) parts have not been flowing through as they had previously.

3. The good news. I have been working 14 hours a day, every day, for the last week, including yesterday (Saturday) helping to clear that backlog of orders. As a result, all of the Group Buy orders should be delivered this week. At this point I can’t tell you what day your individual order will be delivered. But as they flow through the system I will inform you of the con note numbers as soon as they are issued (the normal system).

In conclusion, I know you probably don’t care about the reasons, you just want your stuff and that is totally understandable. But I felt I had to give some background and let you know that I am working on clearing the backlog (personally as it happens) so that we can return to our previous prompt responses. Please hang off on the PM’s, I promise you that I haven’t skipped off to Brazil with your money. That your stuff will be delivered very shortly.

Cheers

[wrxxy]

Just wondering if this setup would help my car for the 1/4 mile as my car axel tramps and doesnt hook up to well.

Or maybe theres another type of setup, maybe you could help me with (SydneyKid).

Regards

Thx In Advance

Plenty of guys use the Group Buy kit for drags, with good success. The spring rates (particularly rear) are OK for that purpose and the Bilsteins control the compression and extension of the suspension perfectly. The usual cause of axle tramp is poor control. Occasionally there is another reason, such as worn bushes, but insufficient damping is the most likely cause.

I used the Group Buy kit in my R34GTT (265 rwkw) for an 11.9 sec 1/4 at 120 mph, so it works OK at that level.

You can go to a more specific drag related set up, such as the one I specified for BU5TER (1.5 sec 60ft). On top of the normal Group buy price, you are looking at an extra $500 for Eibach coils and specifically revalved Bilsteins with coil over conversion.

PM me for more details.
