Hi

Has anyone used the Tein Super Streets (aussie revalved versions) or the new G4 coilovers from JustJap in their skylines?

The Teins I think are good because of their softer spring rates (5 front 4 rear) but are about $1850.

The G4's are monotube but with a much harder spring rate (around 13 front and 9 rear, CRAZY!) but supposedly these can be changed and cost about $1400.

I want something for the street, it probably will never see the track. As you may all know, Sydneys roads are really bad so something that is comfortable is a must!

Are the teins good quality? design? comfortable on the street? and good performance coilovers?

I know there is also the other alternative, whiteline springs and bilstein shocks that SK has a group buy for.

Thanks

i got the super streets (aus version) in my car. big improvement over the shitty KYB's shocks that were in previously. ive driven it on a very rough section up my street. before my car would bounce everywhere, requiring a heck of a lot of corrections, as well as a sore head. teins, hardly any corrections, and my head is thanking me :D

13/9 seems pretty insane.

Its definately insane, but you can get different spring rates, dont know if theyll go as low as 13/9 though.

How was the ride height? and previously what springs did you use with your KYBs?

Is handling better on good roads?

And does anyone know if the super streets are both bump and rebound adjustable?

Hi nuffsaid, I though I would jump on give you a bit more info on the G4's that you may or may not already be aware of.

The response we have had from our customers buying the G4's is that they are already quite streetable in standard form, but unlike other brands, we can provide any of our customers with a custom spring rate package, tailored to their requirements - So the standard rates they come with off the shelf are easily changed, and we can supply the custom springs to order, usually within around 4-5 business days.

In short, what we are providing for our customers in the G4 Racing shocks is a fully customizable coilover package, at an unbeatable price, so there is no need to settle for what they come with from the factory, instead you can effectively choose your own spring rates.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask, as we are only too happy to assist you.

Cheers,

ride height is adjustable, currently at 100mm legal clearance from bottom most bit of the car (exhaust in my case). Im pretty sure it was just the stock r32 springs on there.

Is handling better on good roads?

yer a hell of a lot better. car doesnt seem to "float" no more, though thats a lot more to do with a better alignment and sitting lower than before

if you cant afford the teins, i would get the g4's with a 6/5 spring rate (front/back) if your after street comfort and occasional track use.

Also - even though you have said you won't track the car it's interesting to note that the guy leading the Wakefield lap times (Russ aka giant) runs those Tein Super Streets. Pretty much because Wakefield is a bumpy track and it seems those super streets are great for absorbing the bumps without making the car rolly. (For example Tien HA's don't abosrb bumps well and make a shockingly hard car to drive around in bumpy conditions)

I know Russ rates them pretty highly.

I also run super streets and am happy with them. I can't comment on the G4's other thna the spring rates seem high, but steve has addressed that above.

Just be aware that prices from perfect run and nengun are ex tax and duty, so its a bit of a lottery if you get stuff cheap or if you get stung by customs. It is the importers responsibility to pay, so if it is being shipped direct to you, then you are the importer.

ISC coilovers currently have an introductory offer of $1399 delivered to your door Australia wide with 12 month warranty aswell!! they have a list of common spring rates on there website but can also order in custom spring rates for all street/drift/drag etc uses....

sound damn good to me, will be ordering set shortly

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
