Hi i was wondering what type of tein coilovers the attached picture is, and how much i could get for them on resale. The picture below is the same model i have however are not actually mine (mine are in better condition). I beleive they are dampening adjustable and height as i have wound it out and noticed a softer ride.

Also what would be some spring/adjustable shock combinations (i.e. whiteline and bilstein adjust.)? which you could recommend for a fairly hard setup which would be good for a stiff setup (little body roll) yet still fairly decent over bumps in the road. (coming from teins, everything seems like its a much bigger bump than it is)

Cheers, David.

Hi David, check out the Bilstein/Whiteline Group Buy for your model of Skyline. Body roll is best controlled by the stabiliser bars, that's why the Group Buy kit has good ride, sporty, but not harsh and great handling.

:( Cheers :)

How can you tell the difference between HA's and the other ones which are dampening adjustable.?

HA's are damper adjustable. but the ones in your pic look like HR to me.

either way just ask the bloke who is selling them. or do a little research.

Hey here are two pics of the coilovers, i was wondering if any of u suspension experts could confirm what type they are.....

About dampening, few wks back i turned the tops of this supsension a little anti clockwise, if i remember correctly, and for two turns or there abouts i thought i could feel a slight difference (marginal but it felt like it was there). This was done using vice grips as there are no "knobs" on the top of the suspension.

Would be great if someone could confirm them....as i want to sell them off and get some normal stiff suspension.

Cheers, David.

i am 90% sure they are not HAs. to adjust the dampening you don't need vice grips. there is a little knurled knob on the top with a allen key type hole in the middle. you turn it with your fingers and it clicks as you turn it.

    • lol the 2nd one boss, thank you for pointing this out. I feel as i spend more time here this intro message is some thing i will always make me laugh and shake my head at. Perfect Intro:  I have the vehicle  
    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
