Hi all

I have a set of Tein Super Streets but find adjusting the rear dampening a real pain!

Through the boot I can kind of squeeze in 2 fingers to turn the knob, but its pretty hard when you want to adjust it more than a couple of clicks.

The proper way I guess is to either take off the rear seats or get an EDFC (not worth the $1000 parts and labour cost)

Sooo...does anyone here have any neat tricks that makes adjusting easier? eg. extension cables for the adjustment knob from other branded coilover kits, or anything else funky?

Thanks

If you're paying 1k for the EDFC you're getting ripped man...

Bring one in from overseas, should have one here for around $500 or so. Labour should be sweet f**k all aswell, very easy to install

$1000????? WOW!!! Parts here in Aust retail at $650. Fitting including wiring should only take 2 hours. Front Motors can be fitted while in car, rear shocks out, fit motor, refit shocks then run the cables. 2 hours max.

When i fit a full kit (Tein Struts and EDFC) i only charge 1 hour extra labour for EDFC.

They should have come with a little allen style tool that fits into the top of the adjustor so there is no need to grab the adjustor itself. Its a little bit of straight hex with a green plastic knob on the end to hold onto...

My Tein HA's came with it anyway...

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
