But, yeh....good things and really makes you wonder about the general belief that all Teins are crap compared to Koni and Bilsteins etc

general belief or highly biased SAU belief? Can't ask a question in suspension and braking without being directed to a group buy these days....

the car looks great tacker, love the colour and wheels combo too! What sort of teins are u running? im building a full track spec gtr at the moment and looking for a decent set of coilovers, something thats easily adjustable and not running circlip grooves lol, i dont mind about not streetable etc as it wont ever see the road. The car is a r32 and will be totally striped out with fuel cell, etc, ill post pics when i make some more progress.

he's using my old Tein circuit master type RA's. they are pretty good. mono tube, all alloy, big piston race biased damper. hard to find these days though. but very good. easy to set-up too.

and tacker, I did put the pepper grinder in there I swear! lol. but either my old man saw it before he posted them for me and pulled it out thinking WTF? or the post office chucked it out thinking it would be a customs problem. bastards!!

next time you're in sydney come over and you can use it to pepper up a good steak. :D

Jack runs the RA's too, and was doing very quick times so they seem like a really good thing. I wouldn't mind some :P

lol, me too! if I wasn't broke at the time I wouldn't have sold mine. should have kept them in the arsenal as they are bloody hard to find now, and in my cupboard I had used rears and brand new fronts. d'oh!

yeah the nismo ohlins I have are good too. probably better even (more adustment and remote canisters), but about 10 times harder to set-up right. the teins probably work a bit better out of the box and are definitely easier to tune, but I guess ultimately if I stick with it I'll get a better result out of what I have, it's just a shitload harder to get there. :P and I'm lazy. I would have kept them but I just got stuck at the time with more parts than money! at least they went to a good home and I'm sure tacker is making the most of them :ninja:

oh, and the nismo ohlins look hardcore from behind when you can see the canisters poking out... so there tacker.. hehe.

Mmmmmmmm canisters... :P

You're right about the adjustability - laziness correlation. I put Koni double adjustables in the Clubbie and I haven't touched them. Not even once. Not even at the hillclimb I did a few weeks back. Ahhhh, wouldn't it be nice to not be so lazy?!

I used to run the RA's, currently have RS's, remote cannisters FTW!!

Seriously didn't notice that much of difference between the two, RS's have more adjustability, but I have never touched the settings since Ben installed them.

Out of the box they're not bad, but after Ben modified them they are amazing... :laugh:

fatz would know. he drives like his momma so he's often stuck behind people gazing at their behinds..

mmm some slicks would be nice though. but I think for the 285s i'd need to take a slide hammer to my guards!

The best of both worlds! I don't think I've ver seen the RS's before.

I'm jealous of your canisters :ermm:

yep, RS are the step up from the RAs. same specs but with canisters and the 4 way adjustment instead of 2 way. I don't know if they still make either of the RA or RS any more sadly.

Yeah, I think they're both no longer available. I tried to track some RA's down for my car a few years ago, but to no avail unfortunately. Would be alright to get my hands on a cheap set and rebuild them to the specs I want.

RS are awesome i have a set in my r33; me also lazy and just have them set on the softest setting lol.

If i remember right they still make the RS for the RX7, and i think you can special order them for other cars direct from tein *THINK*

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      S15 Spec R

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
