Tein HA would be my pick,but i wouldnt drive it on the street everyday.

they have been discontinued for about 4-5years... (replaced by FLEX and then MONOFLEX) and are not very good for drift, they were designed more as a daily / sports model. i used them way back when in my 180 (replaced by TANABE D1's) and in the FD3S daily hill thrasher.

If your serious stay away from the cheap taiwanese gear (pm me, D2, K-SPORT, pm me) look for buddy club, greddy type s, tein super drift, bilstein (will build to spec) Racing gear or DG5.

The cheap taiwanses gear will tend to be sprung highly and have very poor dampening causing the car to rock about its axis. Whilst some of the jap stuff is also highly sprung te ones ive mentioned above have careful consideration taken when it comes to damper control.

Going a better coil-over will allow you to use different spring rates (if its daily) and sway bars and still maintain damping control, alternatively you can buy them as is to suit std swaybars... my recomendation is to go lower on the rates and fit bars.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
