Adjustable Kyb Struts

I just brought some cheap 2nd hand struts for my 32 GTR. They are KYB 'Buzz Spec'. The front is adjustable by a small slot in the top of the shock, but the numbers have worn away so I don't know where they're at. Can you take them back a number of turns till they stop on the softest setting and go from there? Or do they work differently?

Any help would be great.....

Cheers Sydneykid. I knew which way to turn for hard/soft, but thought the adjuster would eventually stop after a certain no. of turns anti-clockwise (full soft) then count the no. of turns clockwise to full hard. The adjuster just seems to keep turning........The adjuster has to be depressed to turn, then pops back up in 1/4 turn increments if that helps....????? I've taken a (shit) photo of the top of the strut, you can just make out the slot adjuster.

Think i've sussed it out. In the light of day I can now see a tiny little dot on the adjuster that lines up with the numbers. I'm presuming you line it up with 4 for full hard, 1 for full soft. One strut has a 1 & 2 still just visable, the other a 3, so I can work out where to put them...Is this logical? Or does it happen to be 1 full hard and 4 full soft? In the rear it has 1-8, I guess 8 full hard. Good excuse to go for a thrash this arvo and find out I 'spose.....

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.

      Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
