nothing...chances are they are just as hard and stiff as the other two models.

Look at dampening and height adjustability between the models.

What sort of power does your 2530 put out?

I didn't think they made either of those models anymore do they? Just make sure you check the spring rates, or you'll end up with a ruff handling car.

ok thanks are the hr damper adjustable and what spring rate is good

well ill put down my opinion of jap spec tein HA's...pure crap. I even swapped spring rates down to something more sensible and it was still bloudy shocking. Poor design, poor setup with spring rates. Mind you this is for a track car, not road car. But ive had a set in my old sil80. Still the same problems though.

Heres a little bit of real world difference. Race car with teins meant no weight transfer, so off the line wheelspin was enormous. Race car with no teins, replaced with SK's setup and actual weight transfer occuring saw the wheels get traction and then spit the tailshaft out. Moral is unless your wanting to drift or you just like a real stiff ride with lots of bumps and jolts then stay away from teins(cant talk about aus spec, dont know them yet). However if you want a good ride with good handling and a sporty feel try the bilstein group buy.

I have the super streets on the 32. Absolutely unreal handling. They are also compatible with the electronic controller (EDC). I would recommend them to anyone, even those with track cars. RGM Maintenance's R32 GTR targa tasmania track car gained (I think) 5 places just from swapping from the Jap spec to the Aus spec Teins.

I'll agree with this. I had 2 setups before the bilsteins went in. And they are by far the best (2nd set up was 100% custom for the car, the bilsteins are still 10x better) Better quality, better ride, better handeling. And cost lest (for me at least) than the fulcrum tiens would have. I also tried different suspension settings with all set ups to make sure it wasnt that.

Dude, not trying to tell you what to do... But wouldnt finding out what the problem actualy is be a good idea before spending money if you dont need to.

But hey, if you want them anyway then by all means just change them. But if its not what the problem is then your throwing money away.

Best all around handling skyline I've been in had Ohlins - GTR though. Then again I don't like the weight transfer of the softer spring rates SK is selling. If your using it on the street don't go crazy on the spring rates. Even the 8kg font\6Kg rear setup in my old R33 was too stiff for daily street driving espically on the highway!!

Well if its the sring, just get another spring :pirate:

Either way the bilstiens are the better option.

yea i understand and agree with you although im getting these front coilovers for like 300 delivered and to me that is a quick fix for my lousy spring the suspension in my car atm is old and the sooner i get rid of it the better i dont really have the money atm the fork out for a full set of bilsteins which im guessing would cost around 1500 ???????

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      By Chupapy · Posted

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
