No wasnt say i dont belive you, but , if it wasnt ment to go only so far you would think it would just stop, but what your saying does make sense.

I tested out the click wheel on one shock before i put them in the car and thats when i discovered it went more than 16 clicks, and i have them at 3 clicks from softest in the car. :P,BHdave,i will definatly keep that in mind. :whistling: ,Be interesting tho to seeif jap spec are differnt to aus, as i know aus has different valveing?

Teins FTW :D

Thanks Mate

nah the jap spec are also meant to be "16" steps...but that doesn't equate to 16 clicks lol

The manual that comes with the aus specs says to stiffen it up (clockwise) and count your clicks back from there..

If I click clockwise I can find a point were it stops (yes it would go further is forced) but the clicking stops.

From there I have just counted back X clicks and been done with it.

I tried click back anitclockwise but could not find a stopping point so I just stopped at about 21\22..

It would be interesting to see what it says about setting up the EDC (or what ever its called) thingys to see how they calibrate the stepper motors with what point of adjustment your actually at...

My tein super drifts (jap spec) have more than 16 clicks, i think its just over 20, also there is somewere in the book that im pretty sure says something about do not adjust above 16clicks, but then again i cant read japanese :)

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys,  Way back when (about 15yrs plus), I picked up a beautiful set of Tein 'Super Racing Spec Circuit Master RE' coilovers from Russman. I have legit never fitted them to my car, as it was garaged indefinitely while i bought a house Yada Yada. They look brand new! Anyway its time to pick up where I left off, and have started doing some khanacross and am booked in for a hill climb next month. The car has some hard af Nismo shocks in ATM, which has me wanting to upgrade again, and now I am left wondering if it's worth having these teins rebuilt? I think they where an ok shock back then, but how do they compare to what's on the market now?  Shockworks/mca are 2800+, and I am sure they are great. But if I can have these rebuilt and be better than, say, a set of bc's for around the cost of bc's, I would be happy with the performance v cost trade off.  If they are considered outdated and rubbish these days, so be it, I'll put them on the shelf and be happy to look at the pretty green colour while I save for the SW/MCA option. Grateful for your thoughts on the matter, and suggestions on who could do the rebuild if it's a worthwhile pursuit.  cheers, Rowdy.
