Hey guys,

Recently bought some Tein SS's off a forum member but im beginning to feel that they may not be what i was described...

They are for an R33 gtst, and they fit in perfectly, rears have the eye mounting that gts-t's require etc and the front fit fine.

Now what has me confused is, the rears are wound all the way down so the spring is not compressed by the collar at all and im still measuring 380mm from hub to gaurd, which is approx standard. Now i was under the impression that this was the coilovers lowest setting? winding it the other way increases that height. Is this as low as tein SS's go? I can still fit three fingers between the wheel and the gaurd.

Also, the fronts are giving me grief to. Wound all the way down (spring not compressed by collar) the wheels are touching the insides of the gaurds. At the moment i have them wound around half way along the threads and its still super low.

Now does anyone know whats going on here? Have i been sold GTR front coils and GTS-t rears?

If you have tein super streets on your gtst can you please post where you have the collars sitting.

Thanks heaps guys!

I had a similar issue with superstreets on the rear of my r32 (it was only 340 center to guard though). front's were fine, they got down to about 310.

As i bought them new locally i took them back and got them to fit a 50mm shorter spring with a helper in the rear as they weren't as advertised. In the end i got the rear down to around 310 from memory at the lowest.

Looking at a pic of your car tonga mine wont go as low as you have them now. (over 18's)

Dont know whats going on... the part number on the rear shock says BNCR33 which is a GTR part number but GTR rear shocks have a square bracket not an eye! which these DO have.

Dont know what the hell is going on...

So yeah rear is sitting at around 365

and front is sitting around 335 with the springs compressed up pretty far.

Will this adversely affect my handling?

because its effectively putting more weight over the front of the car rather than the rear....

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
