i'm looking for someone in adelaide with lowered struts (king springs etc are fine, just no chopped standard springs) to swap with my racing gear coilovers and cash my way

i'm not after a million dollars for them - the cash adjustment can be worked out depending on what you have

a bit of info on Racing Gear http://www.nengun.com/racing-gear/

my coilovers are RG JTC'N1 2-way height adjustable

from the c-red website when they were selling them (for $2900):

Racing Gear's entry level coilover system, but dont let that put you off. We've been using these for years in Roy's S13 and our dearly departed Drift Pig v1.0. The JTC'N1 Dampers are a quality non-adjustable damper coilover suspension solution. For those in need of quality handling for your street orientated ride, but don't need outright adjustability this is the one for you. While not damper adjustable, height is, in both the body and the spring platform.

The unit is made from aluminium with a steel strut and a twin-tube construction. The merit of the twin-tube system being that gas pressure is kept low in comparison with a single tube system, meaning less friction will be generated. The body, being of aluminium construction means the unit as a whole is lightweight, the material (high quality A6061 Alloy) being 4mm thick in the barrel. The thick wall means superior strength and little deformation from heavy impacts.

A major feature with the unit is the height adjustment, both from the spring platform and the bottom mount - a screw system that allows the bottom mount to adjust in height. Adjusting height in the spring platform allows for certain damping changes by preloading the spring in the unit and with the included adjustable camber tops, camber chambers can be setup for your specific ride.

and another quote, just 'cos i like it ;)

i heard about Racing Gear back in early 90's. the only time i have seen they're logo was on REAL circuit cars. they're not just jdm they are the TRUE JDM

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
