Hey. looking at getting some tein RS suspension for my r32 GTR as they have come up fairly cheap. Are these any good? The asking price is $750, they are obviously second hand. The car will be used on both road and track but setup leaning more towards track, ride comfort does not bother me. Advice?

I know of a car using them, and several using the similar RA shocks. Std they are reasonable things, but the car i know that runs them has had them tweaked in the valving and spring department and they are about the most impressive shock i have been in.

The thing is very nice on the street, and at the track its beautifully balanced looking at the in car vids and the lap times it does.

So at their asking price i woudl grab them and get them rebuilt....if you dont PM me because i will buy them (Seriously!)

Buy them and rebuild them :cheers:

I have a set of them in my r33 and they are unbelievably good :)

they have separate Compression and Rebound Damping Force Adjustability; total of 256 different kinds of damping force settings (16 levels for compression x 16 levels for rebound) are available, by adding the systems both at base valve and piston rod. Use of specially shaped needle valve enables linear damping force adjustment at each and every 16 levels.

Im running 10/10kg spring rate, which some people think are little excessive but i find it perfect :D

i have yet to play around with the damper and rebound setting yet, as i have only had the car at a skid pad day and drift day and so far leaving the rebound and damper both of the softest setting works very good. when i get out for some timed races i have a go at playing around with the setting and see if it helps with my times.

also atm im daily driving my r33 again, as im in the processes of upgrading my daily and the ride isn;t that bad at all :D (not as bumpy as you would think)

Cheers Michael

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
