its a little tiny thing hardly worth taking to mechanic to do - C-red have looked at it and said it needed replacing - my car apparently was doing a little song and dance splutter when they were pulling it into the workshop to have the suspension done - its only in low rev range it really plays up which means peak hour traffic to work n back is not very fun!

yeah that means the spring tension ain't tight enough to hold the pressure in at low revs! and your symptoms sound right! you reckon the car is being very sluggish meaning the pressure is always being released because your spring tension isn't tight enough to hold pressure at all! lets just hope your BOV is adjustable! otherwise gonna have to buy another one!- i'll be on the look out for a re-circulative valve for ya niz!

yes sell them cost me $200 - so not a huge enough amount to push plus they didnt tell me til 4pm that arvo i needed it done so if they told me earlier i wouldve told them to go ahead and do it while the car was there.

i prefer to go shopping for these things myself anyway - cant afford anything for myself cos of the car so i might as make the most out of car retail therapy.

Thanks for the advice on what to go for Adrian - taken note of it.

yeah i like it to be stuffed before replacing too but then again i like to replace before it starts really affecting the driving of the car - and after 2 months - this is driving me insane - you sit at the lights and watch the revs surge up and down and think - is it going to stall nope going back up nope shuddering and going back down - werd!

yep thats exactly what happened to me with my mates r33 all he did was adjust the spring tension and it was back to normal! but again i will re-iterate MAKE SURE YOU DON"T ADJUST IT TOO TIGHT hehee otherwise you will get compressor surge! you will get that wikked chu chu chu noise but that is actually the noise of the excess air hitting the compressore blades! NOT GOOD!

      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?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
