Hi Guys,

Has anyone used Tein super streets in there skyline? What are they like?

Im thinking of getting some for my r32.

They are going for $1505 from http://www.nengun.com/tein/super-street this is the best price ive seen so far, has anyone delt with this Nengun before???

Ill be driving on road prob 70% of the time, and 30% track. And these sounded pretty good to suit my needs.....

Cheers

Ant.

Price up some from Slide on these forums, he sells them for a good price, but yeah Nengun is good to deal with.

I've been in a 180sx with some Tein Super Streets and was very impressed with the handling and overall feel of the suspension. I'm thinking of swapping my suspension for some Tein Super Streets some time this year.

He does not stock them for R32. Still will have to be ordered. I would also try getting a price down at your local Repco as i know they can order them in and you might not have to go through the what can be a horror of Nengun.

I use the Super Street's in my R32, I have had them in now for about 18 months and havent had an issue, they're perfect for ride comfort (my car is a daily driver) as long as you dial the stiffness down a bit, but they give really good response and handling too.

I have used them for track events aswell and as long as you dial up the stiffness they're really good, they're not the best track suspension but they are meant to be used on the street aswell so they're a great compromise.

I cant fault them. :)

I'm also looking at getting a set to replace my Zeals.

Driving down Parramatta Road is punishment.

Anyone else had experience with them? Any one in Sydney with them willing to take me for a ride? :thumbsup:

This is the thread I started not long ago! You really should search. Anyways, check it out! I am going to put my experience on there vary soon but to summerise = Jap spec are unbelievable! On full soft it is just a bit firmer than stock but not floaty at all. all the way to very hard and it handles like a go kart but you'll get sore after a while!

P.S. Never buy tiens for an R32 from slide! 4 failed delivery dates, impossible to get hold of and will not ever get back to you, very poor service when you finally do get hold of them. I did finally get them but a couple of very frustrating weeks late

I got my R34 Tein SS from Henry (RMS Motorsport) and I had no problems with it, good communication and advices.

As soon as the item arrived in Aus, Henry sent it to me from Melbourne to Adelaide on the same day and I get it on the next day. Woot woot.

I've driven both on the street-

Bilsteins-

Clearly a better ride on the street

Would be my choice for someone wanting great handling on Australian roads

Legal

Tiens-

Jap spec= illegal (aus spec might be ok though, not 100% sure)

Felt cheaper in the handling

Not over the top spring rates

Pillow tops squeek like a bitch (optional)

Cheap

Large height adjustment for someone wanting looks over handling

So obviously i prefered Bilsteins but thats not to say they are right for everyone.

Have aussie spec Tein SS on my 32 gtr. Drives beautiful on the street, not harsh/bumpy yet still firm enough. Did a track day and a little stiffer would have been better. Suspension place that did all the work set em up with a 'medium' setting for the street. No complaints so far

good info here - i too am trying to decide between coil overs and the sk groupbuy (but not the coilover option $++) with a preference for track ability at the expense of a little street comfort.

I found Liverpool road worse. :)

Possibley the worst road in NSW/Australia.

i thought they were a great street setup, firm yet comfortable with heaps of dampner and height adjustment. And for price, i couldnt ask for anything else

i've got a set of tein super streets for a r33 for sale (thought i would stick that in there lol), like new less than 5000km old if anyone is keen

Care to clarify the legalm / illegal points? Doesn't sound right to me

What and Bilsteins are ADR? Actually, im going to shoot from the hip and say its all BS!!!!!!!!! So if you have a VR Commodore with worn shocks and you run down to Repco nad buy some Monroe Sensatrac etc for your car..... are they illegal?

I would love to know the supposed ADR which shocks are meant to comply with??????

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
