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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
