Looking for some answers, any help would be much appreciated

I have a R32 Gtst with an RB26 set up for drift

Coilovers are TEIN HR's in the car now, the front rhs coilover is bent

Looking for options

Anyone know the difference between TEIN HR's and HA's ?

Anyone know the difference between TEIN Super street, HR's and HA's ?

I would like to just replace the front coilovers but can't find a pair

I can find second hand set of TIEN super streets with around 10,000 k's on them for $1000

Or do I buy another brand?

Hr's do not have dampening adjustment whilst Ha's do, that's the only difference, they both have height adjustment though.

You're gonna have to source out another front HR cos otherwise you're dampening will be different on both sides, would be weird.

Stick with teins if you wanna put it on the track for drifting ;)

How do I find out the spring rate of them?

The fronts say C040-7SC the rears say D040-PC, I'm guessing they are 4kg they look thin

I have HA's in the car they look like they have much thicker springs on the... Maybe I can swap the springs?

What spring rates would people recommend for drift?

The super streets are 4 kg F and R (see link). You will want to run some big sway bars, say 28mm front and 24mm rear to compensate for the softer spring rates. Or, potentially you could measure the spring rates of the HA's, swap out the springs in the SS's and calculate your sway bar size from there.

For reference, i'm running the Super Drifts which have 7kg springs up front and 5kg rear. With 24mm front and 22mm rear sway bars the car is really well balanced. It has a lot of grip, transitions quickly and has a heap of drive.

sorry to hijack thread a little but do you guys know the deal with adjusting the damping? apparently they are 16-stage adjustable but on mine the nut goes around 28 clicks.. is this normal?

on tein ss btw. R32 2wd

Since the bump and rebound adjustment is all in one, start with the dampers adjusted all the way left (counter clockwise) for full soft and then try adjusting them all the way right (clockwise) for full hard. Then try the middle ground and tune the dampers accordingly. From memory, mine has 16 step adjustment, with the front set on the softer side and stiffer towards the rear. I found going too stiff on the front the car felt understeery.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
