Hi guys,

I'm selling my Tein RA coil overs to suit BNR32 GTR. They are in top condition, no bends, damage, rust, leaking anything. Spring rates are 10K front and rear.

RA is teins top of the line shock without going remote canister. These feature an all alloy shock body, mono tube shocks with large pistons and 16 level damper adjustment, full length height adjustment and compatible with EDFC. these are currently used by many of the top street/circuit GTRs in both Aus and Japan. I know a few of the quickest GTRs in VIC are using these.

Here is what Tein say about them:

TEIN Type RA has been designed for advanced circuit racing and street use for experienced drivers.

It incorporates a newly designed mono-tube structure, which allows for maximum road handling and driving stability for all type of situations.

This product has been developed from a huge background of TEIN motor sports activities (such as the World Rally Championship,

N1 and endurance racing).

* Mono-tube design for maximum performance.

* Constructed of A7050 aluminum for lightweight (on certain applications).

* Strut type suspension has an inverted steel shock absorber for durability.

* 16 levels of damping force adjustment (compression and rebound together).

* Ride height adjustable.

* Exclusive designed pillow ball upper mount for optimize performance.

* Available for overhaul.

I'm asking $2100 + freight (about $40 to most areas of aus) and pickup is available in sydney, chatswood.

I only have one pic at work, but will take and post some more later. I was going to use these for my GTR but I'm now going to persevere with the set-up I have (nismo/ohlins) and I need some money, no point having mega dollar shocks sitting in my laundry. I can also supply with them a brand new Tein EDFC mark 2 (black instead of the old silver, and with faster acting, yet lighter motors) for an extra $420.

PICS BELOW

I have been slack buy I'll take more pics tonight. if I can't get good money for them I'll use them and flog my ohlins instead. :)

just pulled them out of the cupboard. I'd forgotten this from when I bought them but the front are BRAND NEW shocks and the rears only fairly limited use. so price stays firm. I took some pics last night and will upload later.

like I said, the front shocks are brand new, the only time they've even been near a car is when they were in the boot!

ok, drop the price to $2000. very cheap for top shelf alloy body, mono tube coil-overs.

the previous owner says 1 year, 5,000kms but I don't know for sure. they are not rusty, or leaking, or bent. a couple of the threads are damaged a bit but it's way up near the top where you would never have the spring seats, I have NFI how they got like that. you can see both the fronts and rears in the pics and should be able to judge condition fairly well from that. the rears have the fork on the bottom, fronts have the eye. :rolleyes: hth.

these look very good for the price.....

Have any of you guys seen the suspension set up on a p4/5 pininfarina??? They look so sexy!!!!!!!!! ooooooooooooooogggggghhhhhhhhh thinking of it now!!!!!!!!

thanks for the kinds words, but not more posts please. this isn't a suspension discussion thread, just me trying to sell my Tein RAs thread. :woot:

man these are harder to shift than a kidney stone! I'll now accept $1800.

I really can't go lower than that. Otherwise I'd rather just hang on to them as a spare set for the GTR. :laugh:

    • 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).
