got in touch with someone at Tein Australia and this is what i got back.

He has however stated:

"Our TEIN SuperStreet coilovers have been approved by QLD Transport (see attachment) but do not have an ADR approval #. You will have to check with your state's Transport Dept about the legality of fitting these to your vehicle"

Oh f*ck.

But... they're not adjustable? Or are they?

Call up regency and ask cause im pretty sure they can only be lowered to the legal height. The ride is heaps soft also.

they are adjustable and is not ADR approved so wont be legal

the spring rate is 4kg all around so pretty soft imo

and yes it will be a while till adelaide has something like the qld transport

cos we are a pissant town :)

just get coils. head down the JIS or car torque, drop $2,000 on the counter, and get some coilovers. sure, its a bit of money, but shit, do it right the first time, or dont do it.

i am looking at a second hand set of teins

apparently they provide a very comfy ride...

does anyone know how to find the spring rates on the teins

carl could you please pm me you coilover specs mate

what ive heard about, and my experience with teins has been rather different, they feel too stiff, even with relatively soft springs (7kg f, 5kg r, in a 180sx), felt pretty jarring.

unless you mean the aussie teins from fulcrum, i think it is?

Guest CleanAndSimple

was in the same situation you are a few months back, thought about going cheap king springs & shocks, but ended up waiting for a few more weeks, and sacrificing a little.

and ended up getting HKS adjustable coilovers and they were well worth the wait, makes a huge difference.

So wait until you have the cash to do it properly.

My 2c anyway.

Plus second hand coilovers aren't that expensive these days, seen sets for like $800.

thats what i was thinking Tom

second hand set in relatively good condition

i am only going to be looking at 8Kg front and 6kg rear

with swaybars the 33 should handle a lot better....

Tom could you also please PM me your coilover specs/ prices etc thanks mate

you dont want hard spring rates for street cars. You want something a bit softer with swaybars. Due to the undulated surfaces of Adelaide's roads, hard coilovers combined with fast driving wont provide the stable grip at all 4 corners you so sorely desire. Krishy is on the right track! I know that Nisskid and SLED know alot more about the physics of my argument.

imho i dont think 8kg front and 6kg rear are too stiff

i could possibly go a wee bit lower maybe 7-5 you never know

but yeah harsh spring rates could actually casue you to loose grip

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
