[giant]

haha stop talking to sydney kid about shocks! these are the portugese spicy ohlins. much better than japanese karage ohlins or the sweedish meatball ohlins.

no they are japanese. but I'm not sure it matters much if at all. they are a completely different model though to giants which are a big step up again. about 5 grand or so for the ones I have, but giants are a whole other level again in price and performance.

haha just wanted to know out of interest. One of the guys in the Tas Super Series with a 350rwkw gts-t has double adjustible sweedish ohlins, and i wondered if they were the same. But I think his are the same as giants, cause he said they were "upsidedown", i can see what he means comparing the 2 diferent shocks.

That pic is Queensland Raceway June this year QUeensland 500 Team Enduro. We went out on lap 69...piston melted its way right through the brakepad.

Car is 95 R33 engine etc is stock all mods are to suspension and tyres. We were 10 to 12 secs a lap quicker than last year thanks mostly to Kumho. Unfortunately we ran the same brakepads as last year.

only too happy to oblige!

Tein circuit master RA. All alloy shock. These are really good value race shocks. lightweight, good pistons, plus you can use EDFC with them which means you can set up the damper adjustment in about 20 laps instead of lots of trial and error. They are about half the price of my ohlins and about 1/5th the price of giants inverted hard corey ohlins. I think brand new they are bout the $3000 mark. Many quick circuit cars in aus and japan are using these. oh, and I'm selling my set pictured. haha, had to get that in there.

[Roy]

LOL...all that adjustment makes my head hurt

Sell the Nismos and send the Teins to Racepace. Fuss free and you get a car that is nice and drivable
