Adjustable Kyb Struts

[2510s]

I just brought some cheap 2nd hand struts for my 32 GTR. They are KYB 'Buzz Spec'. The front is adjustable by a small slot in the top of the shock, but the numbers have worn away so I don't know where they're at. Can you take them back a number of turns till they stop on the softest setting and go from there? Or do they work differently?

Any help would be great.....

Anticlockwise is softer, clockwise is harder.

Turn gently, don't force.

Cheers Sydneykid. I knew which way to turn for hard/soft, but thought the adjuster would eventually stop after a certain no. of turns anti-clockwise (full soft) then count the no. of turns clockwise to full hard. The adjuster just seems to keep turning........The adjuster has to be depressed to turn, then pops back up in 1/4 turn increments if that helps....????? I've taken a (shit) photo of the top of the strut, you can just make out the slot adjuster.

Think i've sussed it out. In the light of day I can now see a tiny little dot on the adjuster that lines up with the numbers. I'm presuming you line it up with 4 for full hard, 1 for full soft. One strut has a 1 & 2 still just visable, the other a 3, so I can work out where to put them...Is this logical? Or does it happen to be 1 full hard and 4 full soft? In the rear it has 1-8, I guess 8 full hard. Good excuse to go for a thrash this arvo and find out I 'spose.....

take care on the settings. if you leave it on too soft u can damage the damper!!! ie. dont go past the settings on the shocks!!!

Thats if u didnt already know..
