Basically there are two types of Ohlins, ones that are made in Sweden and the ones made in Japan under license.

What he was saying is that the Swedish Ohlins >> Jap Ohlins >> Tein Monoflex > HKS Hipermax

I see... cheers :bomb_ie:

Guees the next question is how much better are the Jap Ohlins compared to Tein monoflex... worth the price difference better?

I see... cheers :P

Depends on the spring rates, typically the Yamahas have rediculously high spring rates and I would recommend that they be changed. Typically the Tein monoflex only have high (not rediculously high) spring rates and so you might get away with not changing them. The cost of changing spring rates may make the Yamahas not such good value for money.

Well someone should report the seller of the Ohlins to ebay for selling things he does not even own. Thos shocks are for sale on yahoo at the moment, exact pics and all and from what i can see its a small private trader in Japan, so not a guy trading on yahoo and ebay :blush:

Yeh i sent the guy a message to contact me before paying for them as the Ohlins auction ended today and the guy has already ended his ebay auction. So if he doesnt win the shocks on yahoo then the Aus buyer could be getting stuffed around. Especially since they sold for way under what they went for on yahoo. Poor Aussie buyer is getting dooped.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
