Hey. looking at getting some tein RS suspension for my r32 GTR as they have come up fairly cheap. Are these any good? The asking price is $750, they are obviously second hand. The car will be used on both road and track but setup leaning more towards track, ride comfort does not bother me. Advice?

I know of a car using them, and several using the similar RA shocks. Std they are reasonable things, but the car i know that runs them has had them tweaked in the valving and spring department and they are about the most impressive shock i have been in.

The thing is very nice on the street, and at the track its beautifully balanced looking at the in car vids and the lap times it does.

So at their asking price i woudl grab them and get them rebuilt....if you dont PM me because i will buy them (Seriously!)

Buy them and rebuild them :cheers:

I have a set of them in my r33 and they are unbelievably good :)

they have separate Compression and Rebound Damping Force Adjustability; total of 256 different kinds of damping force settings (16 levels for compression x 16 levels for rebound) are available, by adding the systems both at base valve and piston rod. Use of specially shaped needle valve enables linear damping force adjustment at each and every 16 levels.

Im running 10/10kg spring rate, which some people think are little excessive but i find it perfect :D

i have yet to play around with the damper and rebound setting yet, as i have only had the car at a skid pad day and drift day and so far leaving the rebound and damper both of the softest setting works very good. when i get out for some timed races i have a go at playing around with the setting and see if it helps with my times.

also atm im daily driving my r33 again, as im in the processes of upgrading my daily and the ride isn;t that bad at all :D (not as bumpy as you would think)

Cheers Michael

    • Noice Once exhaust leak is sorted post vids for audible sexy time The thing should be a laugh riot to drive
    • Nah, apparently the way to do it is just mess with how much timing the engine uses to try to correct idle. So it massively undershoots, then overshoots, then undershoots, then overshoots. So timing is going from 5deg to 45deg to 5 deg to 45deg. But I kinda prefer the car to not lurch around and have a dependable idle. Given it didn't idle for shit and stalled about 7 times on the way home, still yet to drive it for the 2nd time to see if it's fixed.
    • Best chop idle FTW, just add an idle timing hole lol
    • Alright. Many little things have been sorted and the car successfully drove home with an incredibly huge exhaust leak. Unsure if it's simply been awhile, but new heads and cam and intake sound f**kin awesome. It might only be me that notices it though, and it's hard to tell from a 15 minute gauntlet run home and attempting to bleed the radiator. Undertrays on, tools out, road brake pads in, idle un-f***ed, time to do some road tuning. From my commute around town it sounds and drives *really* nice (with a max of like 35% throttle). It'll go to a dyno for a proper before and after once the tune is more roughly dialled in. And @Dose Pipe Sutututu I did learn how to do a proper chop tune at idle. I did indeed even do it, but the car shaking around at idle from the driverr seat made me make it smooth again.. I feared for my engine mounts and clerances to engine bay jank. . After the exhaust is fixed I may mess around with it more. I'm just happy to have it drive around without bucking or stalling which is a WIP.
    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.
