Rip a wheel off and look for a model number on the TEIN parts.. thats what I did then jumped on the TEIN website and found out what they could do. Mine are adjustable and I think most are. I have Dampening and Ride Height Adjustment..

Fulcrum Suspension centres are also helpful :) They were the only ones I found willing to adjust my ride height, darn car was scraping everywhere :P fixed now though..

I would also suggust getting your castor settings checked and leveled out, most skylines I have driven pull to the left strongly, which cause undue tire wear as well.

Good Luck

Ok, thanks mate.

I just wanted to confirm that there should be something written on the shocks before pulling things apart/off.

Need to get camber/castor sorted out also, but would like to know what I have before I start spending $. Would be nice if I could soften the ride a little, but I hear TEINs are still pretty hard on the softest setting.

Cheers

It seems I have TEIN type NR:

TYPE NR

Street spec

Well Balance

Master

DNN65-12531

ECR33-R

20012

From the TEIN site:

Type NR Kit includes:

Fixed Rate damper X 4, S-TECH Spring X 4

Detailed handbook, 90 mm measuring gauge, damper adjustment tool

C ring height adjustment equipment (4 levels) fixed damper X 4

C RING TYPE HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM

The C Ring Type height adjustment mechanism enables a wide range of driving variations depending on the situation, by changing the setting for weight balance, corner weight.

Base setting is 2nd from top. The position for the 4 steps are defined based on the model data and putting in consideration the lever ratio, is set to change by 10mm. However, if set in a position other than the base position, there is a possibility for spring space to occur or other problems from pre-load over.

So I can't change the dampening, but I can adjust the height between 4 levels using C ring height adjustment equipment (which I don't have).

Does this seem right? Are there any guides/instructions out there as to how to adjust the height?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

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

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
