Hey guys,

Ive had a search but no real answers.

Wanting to buy a set of Tein Super Street for my R33 GTR. Are there Super Streets made here and ones made in Japan or do they all come from japan?

Is there an Australian version and a Japanses version?

The price difference buying from an Australian store compared to buying from Greenline or nengun is a huge difference.

All teins come from Japan however there is an 'aus-spec' version of the super streets thats sold through Fulcrum suspension. They're the official tein importers for aus. I'm not sure about the differences for skylines but I know with the z32 models (essentially same as r32 gtr) the spring rates are different by a few kg & I believe the dampening my be different also but dont quote me on that.

Regardless of wheter they're 'aus-spec' or 'jap-spec' pretty much any locally bought coilovers will be more expensive then buying straight from japan.

hmmm i was under the impression fulcrum re-valve (dampening) the super streets and leave the springs alone.

That may well be the case with skylines but as i said with the z32 at least the 'aus-spec' super streets have softer spring rates. Easiest way to be sure would be to contact fulcrum.

I've driven an R33 with Jap-spec SS and an R34 with Aus-spec SS...without taking into consideration the differences between these cars, the ride was much the same IMO.

If I recall Jap-spec can't be revalved in Australia where as Aus-spec can?

Hmmm I spent quite a while talking to Luke (I think) from Fulcrum suspension for my R34 GTT and he was telling me the aus spec Tein Super Streets are softer springs as well as dampening to match them. He mentioned 4kg front and 4kg rear for the aus spec compared to 6+ for the jap spec from memory.

if you check the SS specs on nengun, the spring rates are (Nissan ECR33 - F 4.0 R4.0 (kg/mm). and they are definitely jap spec theyre selling. http://www.nengun.com/tein/super-street

when i got my aus specs, i spoke to fulcrum about another matter, and i recall some talk of revalving, but no mention of spring rates.

but since i wasnt actually asking what they do to them, i dont know for sure.

btw, i got mine really cheap. if i was buying at retail, i'd prob go the cheaper option. ie jap spec.

I'm waiting for mine to arrive from Japan as we speak. I have spoken to someone that sat in a car with jap spec ss and aus spec and his comment was if 1 is more than 300 or 400bucks cheaper, get that one. The choice is obvious.

Having said that, if you're after some info on the aus spec one, you can always call Fulcrum Aus up and ask them. They told me they have different spring rate and revalves to suit Aus road. All that for almost 1k dearer...

There is no difference in spring rates. They are all 4kg front and rear for a R33 GTST/GTR & R32 GTST or 5kg front and 4kg rear for a R34 GTT/R32 GTR.

The difference is the valving as people have mentioned.

I've got the Oz Specs on my 32R and love them. They are softer in the spring rate compared to the Jap Spec which is great for Aussie roads but I'm not sure about the damping rates. They are ADR approved too so you can't get defected for them which is a plus in my book.

How would everyone describe the ride/handling trade off of the SS? I know in the FD RX7 they were great. Looking for R32 GTR specific answers if I can.

I have great suspension in my car, but driving daily on shitty Canberra roards, it is far too hard. Considering changing it.

I was under the impression that the AUS Spec TEIN suspension were redesigned for AUS roads, hence the suspension being a softer compared to the JDM version, due to some of the shitty roads we have..?

Or they could be the exact same as the JDM one but now Fulcrum Suspension are the authorised dealers for TEIN...

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      By Kapr · Posted

      The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.

      Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

      The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week

      Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
