Hey Guys,

A while back I bought a set of coilovers from a forum member and they appear to be the wrong ones for my car!

I was told they were Tein Super Streets to suit a R33 Gts-t. But once in, the fronts are too low and the rears are too high, on ALL levels of adjustment.

The Part Numbers are as follows...

Front: QEN68-Z1531

BCNR33-F

Rear: QEN69-Z1531

BCNR33-R

Now I know what your thinking, the BCNR33 bit defines them as GTR suspension.. which the seller obv knew as he cut off the part numbers in his pics... grrr.

But they actually have the rings at the bottom of the fronts and backs, instead of the square bracket piece GTR's use! And they fit on to my Gts-t no dramas at all.

So whats going on? Does anyone have any ideas?

WA suspensions, my local retailer of Tein, had no idea and couldn't even find those part numbers in their books!

Hope someone can help me identify these because if they are not the right ones for my car I would like to sell them! As the right thing though!

Cheers Guys,

Dragonforce

I dont know what car they suit, but theyre not for ECR33. My Tein SS part numbers are QEN64-Z1531-L (and) R for the fronts, and QEN65-Z1531 for the rears. They also say ECR33 on them.

Contact Fulcrum. They should be able to sort out those part numbers for you.

Ok guys,

Spoke to Fulcrum, awesome guys very willing to help!

Turns out they are indeed super streets for the R33 GTR and NOT for a gts-t. But someone has had them modified from the stirrup bottoms to eyes so they will fir in the gts-t. why someone would do this i dont know! apparently the gts-4 also uses the stirrup so its not to suit one of those either. I think im going to send them back to fulcrum and see if they can be modified back to GTR spec as they are in great condition and useless as they are...

Cheers for ur thoughts!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
