I bought a set of Tein Super Street for ecr33. Theyre used.

I emailed Fulcrum with the part numbers on the shocks.

Fulcrum told me By the look of your pictures these are an OZ spec kit. The Oz Spec kit numbers begin with “Q”, whereas the Jap Spec kits begin with G

I havent got these in the car yet. And i want to set the rears before i put them in, and hope it's the right setting, and leave them alone.

So, what I want to know is, what damper settings do you guys use on your Tein SS. Specify whether theyre Aus or Jap spec.

Also, have the Aus Spec guys found the valving too soft? Do you need to run it at full hard?

You can change the damper when they are in the car. Install the bastards, turn them full one way, spirited drive, move a few notches, spirited drive etc etc til you find a spot where the car feels best.

I doubt you notice any difference to be honest.. A lot of it will just be in your head.

I have Aus spec Super Streets in my R32 GTR, paid the extra $400 to get the in cabin adjustment.

Ride height is lowered 20mm

Full hard = 0 Full Soft = 16

Front / Rear

0 / 0 = Stupid, never use it except for giggles

2 / 4 = Really smooth track use

6 / 8 = Smooth roads I know well

10 / 12 = Normal every day setting

16 / 16 = Where I know the roads are bad, larger kerbs etc.

Are you sure you've got Aus spec? That sounds like the Jap spec valving to me.

Not 100% sure as I haven't checked the part numbers, but it was purchased via an Australian distributor and installed by Centreline in Thomastown, so I'm assuming it's Aus spec.

I don't like cars setup with incredibly stiff suspension and prefer the more feedback and less drifting/skating that a compliant balanced setup will give.

For someone who likes a very stiff setup /rant on because it makes them feel like they're driving a sports car, impresses mates, etc /rant off (or gets driven more often on the track than the road), then my car on 0/0 may be too soft, and a Tein Flex derivative may be a better bet.

Also remember that the values I have mine set to, are

a) what I like

and

b) suited to my car which has, to name a few differences

Midori camber arms

Adjustable castor bars

HD Adjustable Whiteline swaybars

Semicomp tyres

i'm with you on the ride comfort. thats why i went with the super street + swaybars. too stiff can make it a pain to drive. and many times i opt for my gf's car. that's a sad state of affairs lol

from what i've found of aus spec owners, full hard isnt too bad. firm but comfy. even fulcrum told me they come shipped with dampers set at 8

that's why i think u might have the jap spec. as far as i can tell, you cant get the aus spec to become really stiff.

but i'll stop speculating, till i get mine on :(

i have jap specs in mine. daily driver, keep them around half way. it is pretty firm but i like the feed back and road feel.

the backs are a pain to adjust, i left my back seat out for a week so i could drive the car then adjust them easily.

there is no magic number for damper setting though. it comes down to seat of pants testing

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
