Hi Guys,

Has anyone used Tein super streets in there skyline? What are they like?

Im thinking of getting some for my r32.

They are going for $1505 from http://www.nengun.com/tein/super-street this is the best price ive seen so far, has anyone delt with this Nengun before???

Ill be driving on road prob 70% of the time, and 30% track. And these sounded pretty good to suit my needs.....

Cheers

Ant.

Price up some from Slide on these forums, he sells them for a good price, but yeah Nengun is good to deal with.

I've been in a 180sx with some Tein Super Streets and was very impressed with the handling and overall feel of the suspension. I'm thinking of swapping my suspension for some Tein Super Streets some time this year.

He does not stock them for R32. Still will have to be ordered. I would also try getting a price down at your local Repco as i know they can order them in and you might not have to go through the what can be a horror of Nengun.

I use the Super Street's in my R32, I have had them in now for about 18 months and havent had an issue, they're perfect for ride comfort (my car is a daily driver) as long as you dial the stiffness down a bit, but they give really good response and handling too.

I have used them for track events aswell and as long as you dial up the stiffness they're really good, they're not the best track suspension but they are meant to be used on the street aswell so they're a great compromise.

I cant fault them. :)

I'm also looking at getting a set to replace my Zeals.

Driving down Parramatta Road is punishment.

Anyone else had experience with them? Any one in Sydney with them willing to take me for a ride? :thumbsup:

This is the thread I started not long ago! You really should search. Anyways, check it out! I am going to put my experience on there vary soon but to summerise = Jap spec are unbelievable! On full soft it is just a bit firmer than stock but not floaty at all. all the way to very hard and it handles like a go kart but you'll get sore after a while!

P.S. Never buy tiens for an R32 from slide! 4 failed delivery dates, impossible to get hold of and will not ever get back to you, very poor service when you finally do get hold of them. I did finally get them but a couple of very frustrating weeks late

I got my R34 Tein SS from Henry (RMS Motorsport) and I had no problems with it, good communication and advices.

As soon as the item arrived in Aus, Henry sent it to me from Melbourne to Adelaide on the same day and I get it on the next day. Woot woot.

I've driven both on the street-

Bilsteins-

Clearly a better ride on the street

Would be my choice for someone wanting great handling on Australian roads

Legal

Tiens-

Jap spec= illegal (aus spec might be ok though, not 100% sure)

Felt cheaper in the handling

Not over the top spring rates

Pillow tops squeek like a bitch (optional)

Cheap

Large height adjustment for someone wanting looks over handling

So obviously i prefered Bilsteins but thats not to say they are right for everyone.

Have aussie spec Tein SS on my 32 gtr. Drives beautiful on the street, not harsh/bumpy yet still firm enough. Did a track day and a little stiffer would have been better. Suspension place that did all the work set em up with a 'medium' setting for the street. No complaints so far

good info here - i too am trying to decide between coil overs and the sk groupbuy (but not the coilover option $++) with a preference for track ability at the expense of a little street comfort.

I found Liverpool road worse. :)

Possibley the worst road in NSW/Australia.

i thought they were a great street setup, firm yet comfortable with heaps of dampner and height adjustment. And for price, i couldnt ask for anything else

i've got a set of tein super streets for a r33 for sale (thought i would stick that in there lol), like new less than 5000km old if anyone is keen

Care to clarify the legalm / illegal points? Doesn't sound right to me

What and Bilsteins are ADR? Actually, im going to shoot from the hip and say its all BS!!!!!!!!! So if you have a VR Commodore with worn shocks and you run down to Repco nad buy some Monroe Sensatrac etc for your car..... are they illegal?

I would love to know the supposed ADR which shocks are meant to comply with??????

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
