Hi,

I have a set of Tein NR's on my car and was originally told that they are height adjustable. The car got serviced this week and I asked the guys to raise it up a bit cause it scrapes on everything. Anyway they told me when I picked it up that it isn't height adjustable, it's just one setting....

Does anyone have NR's and can tell me if they are or are not adjustable???

Cheers

Brett

I think you mean HR Brett.

I've got HA driving master kit on the GTR (Including castor rods...thanks for the pick up on that one GTRKen !!) which are height and damper adjustable.

Have a look at one of the rear shocks, specifically the bit where the spring is stopped at the bottom. They are height adjust. if there are two movable spring seats, the one closest to the bottom of the spring (the top ring) is the bigger one. The bottom ring locks the top one off at the height selected.

What a poor explanation.

Basically you unlock the bottom ring then wind the top spring seat up or down to the desired height then screw the locking ring (bottom one) back into place and viola new ride height.

Boostmeister,

I have read that site, and from what I understood (which isn't a great deal to be honest!!!) they are 4 position adjustable. The link you sent talks about the C RING TYPE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM on NR/NA dampers....

Oh well, not a great problem, I'll just have to keep avoiding most speed bumps, steep driveways and any curbs.....

Ryan,

They are definately NR's... Sounds like you got a good set with the GTR.

I've been crusing around our area hoping to see ya....

Brett

Sorry for he slight deviation in thread - Do any of you guys with TIENs get spring rattle ??? I have TIEN HAs (Height and Damper adjustable) and I used to get a bit of metal on metal spring rattle - That is until this weekend , I cut some custom rubber from conveyer belt material - Does the trick nicely !!

Hi guys,

I just got some second hand TEIN TYPE NR suspension for my car.

Going to be putting it in tomorrow or saturday.

I've done many a google search and forum search, i can't find instructions on how to actually adjust the height, although i know it's possible.

Do you need a special tool for this? Can anybody explain how? I'll post up pictures of the suspension if that helps?

    • 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.  
    • 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       
    • 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).
