In WA, you can get OZ super streets from wilkinson suspension or from Xspeed

I would doubt you can get a permit for any suspsension mods in WA - I tried to, at welshpool when my car passed the pits (coilovers and just about every adjustable arm you can fit on S13), but the inspector said they dont issue them for suspension, its either legal or not.

The Aus spec super streets retail for around $400 more than the japanese ones

Thanks for replies,

yeah I hate it when they do that...they passed you but don't issue a permit..huum if that is the case I might as well get the Jap version? why do they even produce OZ version then?

XSpeed and WA Suspensions are the WA distributors for Tein OZ Spec.

You may find that the reason you were picked at the pits is the adjustable arms. They dont like them. Some coilovers will pass the pits as long as the spring rate is not to high and they dont deem it too hard, and the bottom mount of the strut is not height adjustable e.g. D2 etc.

As it states in my original post, I DID PASS with all adjustable arms, except the lower control arms - this includes pillow ball tie rod ends front

and the coilvers were D2 (mistake buying them)

The condition of aftermarket parts, and the overall condition of the car, is the main thing - if your car is a dog, they will go over it with a fine tooth comb and pick on everything. If your car is very clean and well maintained, your usually fine - that's what I have found anyway.

afaik, the jap ones have the same spring rates as the aussie ones. Only difference is the claimed revalving by fulcrum to suit aussie roads. Physically, the only difference between them is the product codes. I've had my jap super streets for more than 6 mths now and can't complain at all. The ride is comfortable and firm and a few other members in here can back tht claim as they have the same.

Sorry, misread your post.

I am surprised though. Ive been over with Whiteline Adjustable arms on the rear and they knocked me back. Whiteline arms have the bushes, not rose joints so i thought would be ok, but guess not. Maybe i got an inspector having a bad day.

Sounds like it...

I did some checking, the shocks in the Oz superstreets are different to Jdm ones

They are assembled in aust, but fulcrum (so I have been told), and have all parts necessary to fully rebuild if needed.

the Jdm ones use different internal components, and are assembled in J-land

this is what I was told by a dealer over here in WA that sold the Japanese super streets, not the Australian ones

Re: Teins being assembled here in Oz is correct. Fulcrum do carry all parts needed to make them complete/rebuild/modify. The difference between Jap and Oz spec is mainly in the shock valving. Spring rates are the same (4kg (or 225lbs) front and rear)

4kg front and rear for Skylines?? Thats odd, would have thought it'd be higher considering my jap specs in an S13 are 6/5kg

S13's have a MacPherson strut front end, hence different movement and leverage ratios. So comparing spring rates with a double wishbone car is pointless.

:O Cheers :rofl:

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      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?
