shan would know this. alot of coilovers are the fkn same. different label "different coilover" same parts n shit used inside just like BC coilovers/G4 racing. etc etc all the same shit. no doubt teins SS are the same

fair enough they might be the cheapest in the range but that doesnt mean they are bad for what they are used for, they are aimed at street use and occasional track days and seem to work fine for the hi-octane r32 gtr considering they won some targa events etc. with them. while the rest of the tein range is aimed at track use so of course they will cost more.

its like saying dont buy that ford focus because the xr5 turbo is way better than it. there both from the same company but aiming at something different.

Yeah you're right Kris. I was going to buy a Gayardo, but seeing as they are the cheapest Lamborghini you can buy, I should just stick to my GTS-t (at least it's not an auto NA amiright)
No no not saying they are bad. Never said that. Just saying you can have the same type of coilovers here in aus (with a warranty) for much cheaper.

ok fair enough, cant comment if those ones you said earlier are very similar and stuff but if they are than go for that.

end of discussion lol. sorry for the confusion :P

on another note aren't gtr's prone to understeer?

blags do you work on lygon st? i remember seeing your car parked in them little backstreets few times. but this was ages ago...

Nah dude, doubt it was me. I dont usually trek into the city with my car.

Alex - cbfff dude, too much effort

Most awd cars tent to understeer Scott. Had a mate with an evo try to do a uturn at speed. Almost understeered off the rd

was it nick lol, that would of been scary, i hate the feel of understeer. so gtr's should understeer than or are they a bit different because there not always 4wd like evo's and subaru's.

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
