Hi one and all. Does anyone here know where I can get a tein coilover top hat replacement? Well I bought a set of tein coilover from a member here on july but didn't get it done until yesterday cos had some other things to mind to install and had it installed all yesterday.

Was told by the member that the coilovers were good and no knocking or oil leaks and sorts. True that was no leaks but after installation and adjusted when for a drive and found that one of the fronts pairs knock whenever going thru a bump or uneven road surface. Response and rebound from that particular corner is still good no sag or bounciness so the shocks is good but according to my mechanic it most likely thing that is causing the knocking is the top hat.

So does anyone out there has got a spoilt/wrecked set of tein coilovers for a ER34 Gtt would not mind parting with it? I would like to get the top hat only if you want to keep the rest like the springs and such. Or anyone knows where I can get my hands on a new tein top hat?

Cheers

Daniel

Name and shame the person, people should be told who the bad traders are and shouldn't rip of a fellow member!

naming and shaming can get the owner of SAU into a lot of legal strife

speak to the bard rdirty3 @wa suspensions sauwa sponser also agents for teins i think

or monga (clint) he might be able to help you out as he gets lots of stuff from japan

Thanks Gazza and SexycanI. Well naming and shaming may not really help cos there are fellow members out there who think that if you buy my seconds then its your problem to be desperate or cheap. But then again not everyone has got money to go new even if they can afford to own or rive the car. It could be a family car but also a dream car for the family man to drive.

Like me the skyline is one of my dream car to own and drive. I'm a family man working and bringing up my young family. Yes when i was younger i upgrade my cars too. So now wif the skyline the performance parts are more expensive so although I like upgrading the parts more for looks sake and feel for the car not soo much racing down the track. For me to go new for a set of coilovers is way over so got myself a seconds but never expected to get ripped by a fellow member from of all thing the skyline forum would have maybe expected this from gumtree or whatever but not skyline forum.

Well maybe I'll get in contact with wa suspensions to see what I can do or fork out more again and maybe just live with the knocking for the time being until cash comes handy again.

Can't coil overs be rebuilt?

tein coilovers can be rebuilt. Plus rebuilding it I should have just gotten new ones instead right from the start. But why can't people here especially in the forums here be honest and not sell defective or spoilt goods to people especially like parts where it needs to be installed before we can know the full serviceablility of the parts? Just plain old cheaters out there. Bringing the skyline forum to shame.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
