Hi all,

Just obtained a set of Tein Super Street Damper with Pillowball Uppermounts (Part No. GSN62-B1SS3).

The set is brand new and comes from the factory with a preset adjustment to height and damping. My queries are:-

1) What are the factory setting?

2) What settings are best for normal + enthusiatic street use?

3) What settings are more suited to track usage?

Thanks in advance for your comments and replies. :(

I'd like to know tht too....have had mine in for close to a mth now...played around with height adjustment and damper settings...but want to know what are the ideal settings for street use.

I've got my height at 350 front and 340 rear.

The teins come with 16 levels of damper adjustment but why does the knob turn 26 times from left to right, right to left???

n15m0, yea the rear turns 30 times and front 26 times. Weird, dunno how it adds up to 16 levels of adjustment.

I adjusted mine to 20 clicks at the rear and 17 up front.

As for height I leave it as factory present. I understood that is the best recommended setting.

It goes past 16 clicks, but after 16 clicks it doesnt change the damper setting.

I confirmed this with Fulcrum, it will just click but it wont get any softer.

Tein recommended 345mm all round, and 12 clicks from the hardest (so the 4th softest setting)

I've got mine on 345mm all around and 4th softest and front, 6 softest in rear to try and control the springs more.

nuffsaid, 345mm all round is it the pre-set setting from the factory? I did not adjust the height. Just bolted it on from the box.

As for damping, you mentioned 12 clicks from the hardest setting. All round, as in front and rear?

That means mine is Front 9 clicks from the hardest (17 from the max soft) and Rear is 10 clicks from the hardest (20 clicks from the softest).

How's this setting in your opinion?

Interesting...tried the settings this just before...kinda made a diff...*I think* :D

345mm hmmm...wouldn't that make the front lower than the rears as the rear guard is lower than the fronts?

Mine is now set at 350 fronts and 340 rears which is marginally lower than SK's recommended settings. Wheel allignment done and is sitting at around -1.5 all round...which according to SK again will require one camber kit on the front and one on the rear.

8110 - Had a read of your blog...very interesting...I'm from M'sia too! :) I wonder how much ER34s cost back home??? :angry:

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
