Hi all,

Just obtained a set of Tein Super Street Damper with Pillowball Uppermounts (Part No. GSN62-B1SS3).

The set is brand new and comes from the factory with a preset adjustment to height and damping. My queries are:-

1) What are the factory setting?

2) What settings are best for normal + enthusiatic street use?

3) What settings are more suited to track usage?

Thanks in advance for your comments and replies. :(

I'd like to know tht too....have had mine in for close to a mth now...played around with height adjustment and damper settings...but want to know what are the ideal settings for street use.

I've got my height at 350 front and 340 rear.

The teins come with 16 levels of damper adjustment but why does the knob turn 26 times from left to right, right to left???

n15m0, yea the rear turns 30 times and front 26 times. Weird, dunno how it adds up to 16 levels of adjustment.

I adjusted mine to 20 clicks at the rear and 17 up front.

As for height I leave it as factory present. I understood that is the best recommended setting.

It goes past 16 clicks, but after 16 clicks it doesnt change the damper setting.

I confirmed this with Fulcrum, it will just click but it wont get any softer.

Tein recommended 345mm all round, and 12 clicks from the hardest (so the 4th softest setting)

I've got mine on 345mm all around and 4th softest and front, 6 softest in rear to try and control the springs more.

nuffsaid, 345mm all round is it the pre-set setting from the factory? I did not adjust the height. Just bolted it on from the box.

As for damping, you mentioned 12 clicks from the hardest setting. All round, as in front and rear?

That means mine is Front 9 clicks from the hardest (17 from the max soft) and Rear is 10 clicks from the hardest (20 clicks from the softest).

How's this setting in your opinion?

Interesting...tried the settings this just before...kinda made a diff...*I think* :D

345mm hmmm...wouldn't that make the front lower than the rears as the rear guard is lower than the fronts?

Mine is now set at 350 fronts and 340 rears which is marginally lower than SK's recommended settings. Wheel allignment done and is sitting at around -1.5 all round...which according to SK again will require one camber kit on the front and one on the rear.

8110 - Had a read of your blog...very interesting...I'm from M'sia too! :) I wonder how much ER34s cost back home??? :angry:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.

      I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
