Hi

I have searched and read all the info on the correct coilovers for a Stagea RS Four S.

So I am aware that the rears are the fork type.

My question is does anyone know what Teins will fit this model as I have had differing opinions from both fulcrum and online searches. Im after the exact part number.

Fulcrum have told me that these will fit but Im not so sure. Basic Flex Wagon GSN78-T1SS2.

They also told me if they are not the rear fork type that they can convert them to be the rear fork..... Hmmm not so sure about that one either....

Thanks for the help.

The 260rs's ran the same suspension setup as the manuals so they might have a listing for that

Bo be honest, everyone seeems over the moon with their bc's

I'd say that the tiens will be very stiff like most Japan coilovers, the bc's are reported to ride very well on the soft settings

Spoke with Fulcrum turns out they make the Basic flex wagon in a rear fork model. In regards to firmness Tein are softer than BC's. Tein spring rate of 6kg BC's are around 8kg making Tein a much more comfy ride not sure why everyone saying there harder.

Did u end up getting tiens for ur car?

Yeah mate got them through Fulcrum they did have to modify them to be rear fork type but at no extra cost. They are a very nice ride and certainly worth every penny.

Awesome, I'll pop in and see them next week. What spring rate did u end up with mate?

Just dont believe thier bs about them being rebuildable. When u take them in for a rebuild they'll tell u its gonna cost $2k and tell u just to buy a new set.

Still there far superior than all the cheaper Chinese/Thailand Coilovers and at not niche more than a few hundred $$$

I sure know what I'd rather be driving around on.

Mate ring Shane @ Fulcrum Capalaba on 33903900

He will know exactly what you need they did a great job even had me come back to make sure ride height settled ok and gave me another wheel alignment at no cost.

The part #GSN78-T1SS2

He had them modified to fit and no issues at all.

Soo fulcrum have quoted $2472 in total for tein superflex wagon coilovers, they would have to modify them using my oem forks off the standard struts.

I got the Basic Flex as the Super flex are to hard in my opinion for daily driving. They did not use my forks from my oem struts they made up there own. Like I said call Shane at Capalaba.

That doesn't even make sense. why they would need to modify anything?? They already do a manual type. Besides the rears are just r33 gtr bodies with an s14 top plate (and valving for stagea). All the parts would have been on the shelf. As cheap as the Chinese stuff is (and having tried nismo's, tein's, hsd's and bc's) they are just as good as the tein's for the street. But nothing compares to the nismo's !!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
