    Tein Springs

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Hey all

    Im looking at getting some tein springs to use with stock shocks, or possibly aftermarket shocks, i.e. bilsten or KYB etc

    Are these any good

    Im trying to sell my coilovers, and just get a spring and shock setup

    Are the teins any good??

    i went there

    the guy wouldnt even leave his seat

    so same story , took my cash else where

    all this crap about serious buyers, mate what do you expect, im there, with money and i want the car

    ^ as said above, not many mid thirties are going to be after a 33

    i wouldnt give them 2 bucks

    and thats my 2 cents

    Check the basics first

    Clean air filter

    Replace fuel filter

    Check (and if necessary) replace spark plugs with correctly gapped new ones.

    Check health of coils, replace if needed.

    Clean AFM

    Check 02 sensor

    You got standard diff gear? If not that could be f'ing with your economy

    Clean Idle control valve (or whatever its called on rb26)

    Run some fuel injector cleaner through.

    Get injectors ultrasonically cleaned (should cost not more than $120)

    Your fuel leak will be effecting economy, to what extent depends on the size of the leak

    I did all of the above on my car and noticed a big improvement.

    i have had a major service

    new plugs

    new fuel filter

    oil filter

    all the usual

    car is running mildly rich, but not as much to denote such bad fuel economy

    im thinking maybe o2 sensor

    are these expensive

    I get 400-450km out of my R32 GTR, around town. On highway I can get around 11-12 litres per 100. I am a mechanic so everything is pretty well spot on. A stock GTR for economy should be tuned as Nissan says, not the local dyno shop who has retarded your timing so you can have another 20 horsepower.

    wouldnt they advance your timing for more horsepower :)????

    and btw my car is stock as a rock

    so no tuning necessary

    out of a full tank around town i got 330km?

    Oh hey Jordan!

    Ya bro happy with the dyno chart? If not free up that exhaust and let it flow better.

    yeah i reckon an exhaust is definitely on the agenda

    want to do a few small things first

    fix the seat, gear boot, gear nob, tint etc

    then a few mods

    im still not 100% sure if i just keep it stock or not

    maybe just get an exhaust and keep the stock one in the garage, so i can always put stock back on for a fully stock re-sale

    i reckon you would fetch more for a stock 32 in a few years than a molested one :D
