Hi Folks

I have a set of front and rear tein super street suspension for sale. Suits R32 GTR.

These are the aus spec version, so they are non adjustable but are street legal.

Teins are quite firm shocks, if you want a firm stable ride, these are definately worth going for.

$500 for the set of 4, buyer pays for delivery (or pickup in Adelaide). These retail at JustJap for $750 for a second hand pair.

PM me if interested

-D

Hi mate,

May be interested as I'm looking at replacement suspension for an R32 GTS-4. To my knowledge GTR suspension will fit straight on as a GTS-4 requires suspension with forks not eyes. Would you be able to confirm this for me? If yes, I would definitely be VERY interested.

Cheers :blink:

P.S. As they are non adjustable, roughly how much does the suspension drop ride height from standard?

Gday mate

I'm not sure about the forks/eyes thing but I'll take some photos for you - I have been told that they wont fit on the gts-t due to the rear subframe assembly being different (apparently?), so I'm really not sure if it'll fit the gts-4

re ride height, usual eyebrow height is 350mm, these shocks take it down to 325/330mm depending on how many kebabs I've eaten that week, which is legal minimum in SA...

I've removed the fronts already, I'll take some photos tomorrow and post them up - will be a week before I take the rear teins out, but I can find a photo on google I'm sure

um, Oz Spec Tein SS are height and damper adjustable. Are you sure yours are Super Streets?

Negative. Aus spec does not have height adjustable anything, considering its illegal in several states. Jp spec is height and damper adjustable

tein aus spec flex is a different story, they are intended for a track application

these are a single progressive spring coilover, non height or damper adjustable (which is what makes them aus spec)

-D

EDIT - Sarz I'm not sure how much they weight atm, aus post can handle up to 20kg but over that its a courier. I'll be removing the rears next week and I'll post the weight of them in this thread for all to see

Great! As soon as the pics are posted up we'll have a look and if they're still available we'll see what coin is needed to ship them across to VIC :bunny:

Thanks for a quick response mate :happy:

I must apologise to you BeEnAr as I had my facts wrong

The aus spec SS's do have damper adjustable, but not height

and having inspected the shocks closer, I've found out that they are type HR

Mods, please modify my main post to indicate that these are HR coilovers - non adjustable height or damper

Sorry to the others I havent gotten photos yet as I got home after dark, but I'll definately do it on Saturday

Regards,

D

Hi Folks

Here are the pics of the front set - I won't have time to remove the rears until next weekend, however they were all purchased at the same time and are the same condition as the fronts. Will take photos of them once they are out.

Images left large for max detail - as you can see I haven't bothered to clean them up at all

OK folks, have removed the rears finally - I will take pics tomorrow

They come out to just over 20 kilograms, which means the post isnt interested in dealing with it...

If anyones keen, please read the sticky in the For Sale thread regarding couriers - I estimate it'll cost around $90 to ship door to door from Adelaide to Sydney, not sure how much to Melbourne...

If anyones still keen on this set of struts, please PM me asap.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
