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:

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
