first time takes round 30 minutes a shock, after that, takes me round 5-10 at the most now

two bolts on the top of the suspension, one big one to crack on the bottom

basically, undo wheel, undo bottom suspension bolt, 17mm, undo top two 14mm at the front, 12mm at the rear, i think or it could be 12 and 10,

then drop the old shocks out, put the new shocks in, bolt them up with a little locktite and you're ready to go

?Hi Guys i will be installing my Tein HA coilovers too next week. How do you set the height of the carson it? with the wheels off or on ? I would have thought that with the whels on its preety tight to workk with a C spanner.

Also do you actuall need to do a wheel alignment after you have changed the shocks?

I just wound them all up the the max height, then counted the number of turns down that I took them, the car looks pretty even to me, although it needs to go a bit higher, I keep getting stuck on things

yes wheel allignment is a must after replacing shock. To adjust height it'll have to be done by trial and error. Make sure all of them are set to he same height when installing. After installing, lower he car and check height measuring from center of wheel to guard.. then if you want it lower or higher, just jack car up again and adjust the rings to suit.

EDFC doesnt come with it. It's an electronic control unit thing so you can control the Dampening force from in the cabin. Also need to install motors inside the shock absorbers

not inside the shocks but ontop of the shocks. There are just little black boxes u put on each corner. all it does is spin a little knob ontop of your coilover. So what... id rather get out and adjust it then spend $600 plus install to have a fancy pants in cabin adjuster. Takes litterly 10 seconds to adjust them.

      Hello Everyone

      Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂

      to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
