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

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
