Hey mate,

I've just recent;y put some of these in my 180 and couldn't be happier. Easily compliant enough for the road, and for mild track use should also be tip top, but I'll let you know after the 11th!

I'm running the jap spec ones, not the aussie modified examples

Thanks for the feed back. I was looking at the jap spec ones, the guy at the suspension shop told me these run a 5kilo spring.

5kg/mm is 280 lbs per inch, that >70% higher than the standard spring rate.

Most Australian lowering springs (Whiteline, Kings etc) are 20 to 30% higher rate than standard.

:( cheers :(

I am currently running the Australian spec teins in both of my cars, r32 & evo9, and i am very happy with the results, in the evo the ride is softer than when i bought the car, but can be firmed up( i am using the in cab controller, saves trying to get in behind the bootliner to adjust, with this setup the car came second in the last round of the mt cotton hill climb championship(standard everything except an exhaust and airfilter), i think they are great value for money.

in the gtr which i also ran at the hillclimb , the car was good enough for first place (46.1). the set up for street is perfect with no harshness or lack of spring control, the car is very comfortable to drive daily! also as a note the coilovers i took out were jap teins these things were like riding on solid blocks!! , i may firm up the gtr setup as the car is being pushed fairly hard but fulcrum will be doing that for me with a slight spring rate increase and revalve.

(this car is a track day car and ran 10.87 last time at W.S.I.D)

for more info on the teins, a gentlemen by the name of graham at fulcrum in brisbane was instrumental in the valving and spring setup for the Australian spec teins with tein engineer from japan.

i hope this information is useful, but remember it is just what i found when using it on my cars.

cheers Russell

(the suspension was good enough for 56.8 on the sprint track at Q.R on semi slicks & 1:01.61 on the clubman)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
