Hi Guys

Just wondering whether it's possible to upgrade the springs from the standard Teins SS spring which is around 5kg (front&rear) to the Nismo R-Tunes which are much stiffer around 9kg (front & rear). I find the Teins Ss is way too soft for my taste. Will the damper damage for fitting harder springs?

I still wouldn't put those springs with the SS dampers, but some larger swaybars may make up for the softness of the super streets. The damper needs to control the spring, and it won't be able to do that being so mismatched I would think.

Thanks guys for your feedback.

Felt like i bought the wrong shocks for my driving style. Initially i bought the shocks because there were a lot of "clunking" noise in the front, so after checking the shockers found one of the Nismo damper was leaking. Couldn't find a proper place to rebuilt the Nismo, so buying the Teins thinking it would fix the noise problem. However the noise is still there especially on low speed bumps, checked whether there is any tie rod bushing freeplay and did alignment, but everything seem good. My car front handling felt like wanting to steer right when im turning a lefthander, but felt ok if the other way round. Im using both Cusco Pillowball Caster rods and Camber adjustment (been using for 4 years) . Do you think my caster rod is damaged, thought they are tough + longer lasting items compare to bush.

Which other parts should i look into to rectify the clunking noise and wandering handling?

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise

    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
