Running a set of TEIN HR's on my 32 with killa results, very stiff they reduce body roll alot by themselves....i love em. Theyre a snap to adjust and feel great on the car

there hight and dampner adjustable right? if you dont mind me asking what did you pay for them i can get a new s13 set for $1500 does that sound right

My 20 cents worth;

Simplistially valved small bore, Japanese shock designed for billiard table smooth roads. Fitted with far too high spring rates for Australian conditions. Harsh ride and poor traction.

There are far better shocks and more suitable spring rates available at lower prices, check out the Group Buy thread for your particular Skyline model.

:) Cheers :)

HR's are just height adjustable.......i dont mind the ride but then again my cars being built for drift so they're pretty close to perfect. Thinking about upgrading to a ZEAL package with S.W.I.F.T springs, but il find more out about them. Sydney kid poses a point, and it all depends on what ur building it for, there are better shocks and springs for aussie road conditions to provide a better ride, but if ya like it stiff and bumpy then TEINS are great.

what others do you sugest are more suitible for ausie roads i dont neceserily want coilovers but im gonna drift the gazelle(i know its not a skyline but all the guys on the silnia forms are dumb as sh it) as well as have it as a daily so i want some thing versitile

So ul definately need something realtively stiff for track work and knda soft for evryday use....give sydney kid a pm and ask, but my suggestion would be TEIN HA's instead of HRs, coz that way u get damper adjustable so u can just easily set it stiff wenu go out and smoother wen ur daily driving. Bit more expensive but well worth it, theres plenty of sus out there, im enjoying TEIN at the mo daily and drift.

im running s13 tein's in my r30 the super street damper kit,and ive found them to be excellent .

Not too harsh on the street and trust me the roads around my area pretty damn average,at the same time a very nice setup for the both the strip and the track im more then happy :P

And theyre both height and damper adjustable.

A comparison between an R30 strut front end and a double wishbone Skyline is not particularly relevant. They are quite different animals.

My suggestion would be to use adjustable stabiliser bars rather than excessively high spring rates. That way you can tune the car for road or drift by adjusting the antiroll rates, much easier than changing springs and shocks.

This is a link to the R32GTST Group Buy, I believe it should answer most of your questions.

If you should require additional clarification please just ask.

Simplistially valved

I've heard you mention this a few times about japanese suspenison.

Care to elaborate on this? I'm just a bit curious about what aspects of suspension valving improve shock performance. (It's also a fairly broad statement don't you think...)

I'm curious about what differences there are in valving between say Tien Flex shocks and Bilstien shocks. And also if some of the more expensive japanese brands illeviate this problem. (after all, brands like Tien in Japan are considered the "budget" coilover shock)

Actually the brand of shocks I'm using at the moment are Quantum, which are some english brand, can't find much info on them, only that they cost alot more than Tiens new.

This was the only info i could find on them if you can read japanese...

sorry if im hijacking your thread mate!

yeah i have some adjustable sway bars on the way to reduse the s12 masive body roll but the stock suspenion is way worse than say r32 skyline suspension and i dont want super stiff shocks i want comfy rasponzive ride im looking into the super streets now

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
