What setting you running at the moment Ellie? I think mine is about 3-4 clicks softer from the default setting (which I think its the hardest setting). It is not too soft and not too hard, perfect for road that has some impefection. My ride height is about 330 F and 335 R. But I guess that will be different from your R32.

Hi Ellie, After 3 days of driving my R34 GTT on the new Japanese spec Tein SS. The impression was very good, actually better than I expected. At first I was a bit skeptical about it, many ppls on forum and other sources were comparing the Jap Vs Aus spec Tein SS. But due to price difference, and Henry (from RMS motor recommendation) I chose the Jap spec and save about 400 dollars. I cannot compare the Aus spec vs Jap spec as I have not driven the Aus spec one b4. Luckily this long weekend in Adelaide I was able to take it out to some long journey outside Adelaide to test it out. This is my impression of the Tein SS Jap spec: The ride quality was much much better than my previous HKS one, as the HKS one was clearly design for Jap road, track uses. The suspension was also very quiet going through huge potholes, rough surfaces. The car seems to absorbs the uneven surfaces very well at both low and high speed (even better than the stock ones). Handling was much better than the stock suspension, but not as sharp and light as the HKS one I have previously. But nevertheless, it is very sufficient for road usage even pushing the car very hard, it grips extremely well. Especially with uneven surface which the HKS seems to slip due to the car bouncing around a bit too much. At higher speed, you can tell much of the difference between the Tein SS (jap spec) than the stock, because it seems to makes the car's handling much more precise and responsive (although, not to the degree of the HKS one) Ride height it remained the same as my previous setting on the HKS, which allows me to able to go into my house's driveway everytime without scrapping the front skirt. So yeh, Ellie, I think you wont be dissapointed with the new suspension you ordered. Highly recommended for everyday usage, much much better than the stock ones. I will keep you up to date with new detail as I discover additional info. Hope that helps, and would gladly like to hear your point of view when you get yours done Cheers.

I am getting mine done today too with the Tein pillow ball mount. Hopefully it wont dissapoint How are you finding yours ellie?

yep, just getting 5L just incase. If it doesn't use up that much I just save it for next time. But how about flushing the gear box? Do you guys ususally flush it everytime changing gearbox oil? if so, any recommendation?

no, no slipping yet. Just not smooth from 1st into 2nd gear. When you get into gear it works fine. Thanks for that bigslick, definitely got much better price there. I will probably get in contact with them to hook me up with about 5 litres. Should I flush the gearbox before changing the oil? or is that not necessary? My car has done about 44,000 km (supposively) when I bought from dealer about 1 month ago.

The gear hasn't started crunching yet, but I feel that 2nd gear is just a bit hard to get into unless you match the rev closely, but other gears seem fine. The problem is bit worst in cold engine but gets better when its warmed up. Yeh, thanks for the advice guys, I will try shop around a bit more.

Yep, just went down to the local auto shop and they are selling those for a whopping $172 per US Galon. Wow, so expensive. Anyone know where I can find it cheaper in SA? or any online dealer?

thanks for the reply, Can you specify which type of redline oil so I can order it. Cheers

Does anyone know which gearbox and diff oil is good for the Skyline R34 GTT. My car has done about 44,000 km and it is very hard to change into 2nd gear. So I suspect it could be the gearbox and diff oil that needs changing. I am also confused with the fact that people are saying the R34 have LSD, I thought only the R34 GTR got LSD, not the GTT right. Can anyone verified? Thanks
