Selling a set (4) of used Tein Super Street Coilovers to suit R33 GTS-T / ECR33 Skylines. I am unsure if these will fit non-turbo models, but I assume they are the same. They are the Japanese spec/version.

Hard to find these now as they are a discontinued item. From memory Fulcrum suspension do service them if revalving is ever needed.

I removed these from my R33 a couple of years ago, as I developed an interest in weekend club racing and put more expensive, track oriented coilovers in. They were functioning fine when removed and have been stored in individual boxes since. Aesthetically, they are in good condition with no rust, only minor roadwear like the occasional paint chip - see photos. I've been keeping them as spares because I tend to hoard my factory parts / anything I replace, but my partner has demanded a garage clean up and these take up way too much space. Can post at buyer's expense or drop off within metropolitan Melbourne.

Tein Super Street are height and damper adjustable coilovers - bolt in and set your desired ride height with a pair of C spanners, then set your desired firmness via simple twist of the valve tops. These coilovers were designed to be a street-friendly compromise that could comfortably take road bumps, but still provide significant handling benefits over stock suspension and aftermarket spring/shock combos - perfect for the daily driver driven with spirit on weekends.

$750 (also listed on Gumtree/eBay for $800)

That or around that from memory^ 

They were pretty low rates as I wanted something very street friendly at the time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
