Hi guys,

My GTS-t arrived with some Tein shocks that are extremely stiff and I was hoping to be able to soften them up alittle. I have taken a few pics of the top of the shock where there appears to be a bolt with a locking nut that can be adjusted. Im not sure exactly what this bolt does. Can anyone tell me if this bolt will adjust the dampening of the shocks or is it for something else.

As ToF said, they're not adjustable.

Another option would be to sell them to someone that would be doing mainly track work and needs stiffer suspension, and get yourself a set of Tein Super Street coilovers which are softer and designed for Australian roads.

that's not a bolt. it's the top of the piston. it looks like that so you can grip it with a spanner to stop it turning whilst you are unscrewing the nut about the top spring seat.

      Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.

      Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.

      SR20 to cefiro

      By KKaplumbaa · Posted

      Hello. I have an a31 cefiro but since I am in Turkey we have a CA20S engine. I did some research. Then I found that I can swap with a ca18 but when I heard that it has the similar substructure as the s13. I thought I can swap with an sr20 because the sr20 was used with the s13. So can I easily swap the sr20 on my cefiro or is it difficult?
