Hey guys,

Can anyone post a picture of their R32 GTS-T (prefereable with 18" rims) that had TEIN super streets (with upper mounts) that has them set at there absolute lowest setting (front & rear)... I am considering buying a full setup but I am concerned that it won't be low enough.

Thanks in advance

The rears will get to about 330mm center to guard on the original springs, fronts get to about 315.

They are supposed to go 330mm all round at the middle of the thread. they don't. You only have 50mm of adjustment too.

get some 250mm springs and helpers for the rear if you want to go lower.

Or just get some flex's as they have more adjustment.

^^ I dont really know much about suspension and most of what your talking about there makes no sense to me..... :nyaanyaa:

where you say original springs, isnt the coilover an all in one unit the replaces your springs etc? or do u mean the spring the coilover comes with?

I really would just like to see a 32 with them fitted and get a real idea of what it will look like.

This is with super streets on lowest setting and 18" rims. PM NathR32 on this forum for more info... it's his car. :D

I think he said he got a quote for lower springs that could be fitted to the coilovers but i don't remember the details.

Hey guys I have had extensive experience with TEINs before guys.

The coil overs come out at 100mm from the ground, so out of the box they are street legal height. You can lower them about 30mm from the factory preset height.

Jap spec and Aust spec ARE THE SAME for the most part. At the end of the day they are Super Street coil overs.

the Aust spec are just more comfortable due to their customer valving for Aust conditions. And the Aust spec have a 24 month warrenty.

If you are interested in SS or Flex PM me and I can see what I can do for you.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
