also, my advice is unless you really know what you are doing with suspension set-up (and have plenty of time and money) is get the RA instead of the RS. exactly the same shock just minus remote canisters and bump and rebound is adjusted together. my ohlins for example have 600 combinations of bump/damper valving PER SHOCK... so imagine how long it takes to get the optimum set-up. with the RAs you have 16 levels per shock and can set them up in 1 day. for ones with 600 settings a year of trackdays may be enough, then again it may not...

having said that remote canisters do have a coolness factor to them. :)

thanks beer baron ;) some interesting information, unfortunately i've already bought them, the look of the remote canisters was just too cool to pass up.

do you know if the edfc works with the RS model? i check the tein website and it doesnt say.

So the RS are similar to your ohlins which have 600setting? (but the rs are only 16x16 = 256setting) i guess for general setup you start in the middle on both the bump and rebound and go from there? is there something like a shock dyno which i can put my coilovers on to find the best point to use them?

cheers michael

I don't know how similar they are to ohlins. 256 settings is still a lot when you consider that's 256 per shock and obviously front/rear balance takes some trial and error. and yes you can get them put on a shock dyno and get a good starting point. probably looking at around $500 to get some basic testing done and some good starting point. edfc does work with RS but apparently only on some models. pretty sure it does list compatibility with RS and which car models on the tein site. i know I looked it up for my RAs. if it does worth with RS you will need 2 full sets (2 controllers, 8 motors) and make sure you get the new model. some nice improvements over the old one.

thanks for that beer baron :D

Because tein doesnt list the Type RS, for the ecr33 its abit hard to find information... but they have it listed for the gtr and it does say something like it does fit but needs to cut the lining on the bonnet or something so it doesnt rub!

i look into gett the edfc kit but 2x = $1000 :thumbsup:

yeah once they are set-up you wont really need it anyway. put the $1000 towards: $500 shock dyno time, $500 set-up laps.

i think that is the best idea i found someone in perth with a shock dyno $80/hr, so i see how that goes, should be interesting.... the tein werent my 1st choice but i find it very hard to find good coilovers for the ecr33, i was really looking to get Ohlins but i could only find them for the gtr :thumbsup: Really really want the nismo r-tune coilover but again couldnt find anything for the ecr33 (i dont think they make them for the gtst anyways :'()

hopfully with the information i get from the shock dyno i should only need a few tuning days to find a balance setup for my current skill level

edit: do you know of any website/book etc on tuning suspension (mainly focusing on the rebound and damper)

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
