Tein Spanners


Recommended Posts

Guest Boxhead

I ordered one of these spanners from autobarn(hey i have contacts so i dont pay retail) basically after my initial adjustment of my suspension i was thinking maybe i could send my spanner to a fitter and turner i know to get some more made up... if anyoen wants one, ive heard that 1 spanner does the lot as in its just one spanner for all models... so register your interest and i will see what i can do, also, if you can tell me how much you willing to spend to see at what i can do if there is quite a few of you...

YOu can buy after market C Spanners adjustable type from good tool shops such as Tool Works at Castle Hill 02 9894 6546 or Wholesale Suspension in Penrith from about $40 each and fit all coil overs.

On the topic of Tein though and prob a lot of other Jap made coil overs they are often too hard for Australian road and race tracks and for that matter even the smoother Japanese tracks. The Japs don't always get it right.

I have the Tein HA adjsutable shock and height Teins and found the rear of my Zed TT to be quite hard even on the softer settings, It over steered a lot and did not brake as well as should as well as got unsettlesd over bumps such as turn three down the hill at Eastern Creek. I took out one fo the front and one rear and sent of to Eibach, who only make the best springs in the world probably. Anyway they dyno tested the shocks and found them to be quite hard even on the softer setting especially the rear. The springs in rear were also too hard. Factory around 250 pounds and the Tein were 570 pounds. They changed to a twin spring, the heavier being a 440 pound spring with a Tender spring of prob 150 pounds. Bottom line 3 secs a lap faster and did a 148 with a passenger ( Akira) who also has hard Teins in his car. Much nicer for road cars also.

Guess what Skyline Teins have even heavierr springs,both GTR and GTS-T yet the cars are lighter so guess what, "Good is the Enemy of Better" If you have coil overs and think your skyline handles well it can be much better and if a zed passes you at the track then consider. he he.

    • 21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.
    • Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.
    • Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
    • @Rusty NutshI mate. Do you have a pinout diagram for the na neo auto ecu?
