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....

Edited by BHDave

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

Hmmmm good old Aussie steak, medium rare, pepper sauce....oiiiii you not asking me out on a date are ya BB :-)

:Priaa.gif

umm, there is nothing suspect going on I swear. I like chicks... whatever fatz told you about me is bullshit.

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!

At least you still have your pimpin' Nismos! How do they compare?

Now i do :P

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?!

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

fatz tells me there is sorts of things sticking from out behind you BB least of all canisters :P But ifn ya want hard core some 285 slicks view is hard core mate not nambie pambie semi's LOL

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 :sick:

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*

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
