I am after a set of tein super street, the problem i have atm is wether to get the super street with or without the tops and also wether to fork out to get the australian spec tein super street? Is there a major difference between the jap spec and aussie spec teins? Any help would be great.

as far as i'm aware the australian version has simply been re-valved with some softer springs.

Everything jap-spec is generally a pretty rough ride.

Correction, the aus spec ones are revalved, but use the same spring rates as the jap ones. To say everything Jap Spec is pretty rough is a generalisation...I have the Jap Spec Super Streets and I can tell you now, the ride is only a tad firmer than stock suspension...5k fronts 4k rears. Most of my passengers don't even believe me when I tell them I have Jap coilovers...

Thanks that is what i wanted to know, also is it worth while getting the camber tops in the kit or not it is only and extra $150 and i would rather just do it if it is worth it rather than muck around again later, how will the camber tops affect the ride?

You've got Tein HA's mate, that are most likely buggered if they've come from Japan. You can't group them together with the Super Streets.

I find mine very compliant, and a nice compromise between comfort and handling.

I agree totally...a lot of people confuse your run of the mill Jap Spec Tein HAs with high spring rates to the Jap Spec Super Streets...totally different kettle of fish.

      Rb26 iron block limit

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.

      Yeah very valid point. I am waiting for one of the other tuners to come back from vacation so he can help me a bit when the cat is installed again. In the meantime I am going to finish up my polishing and ceramic coating that I have started myself.    N45 Dr Beasley product is highly recommended for a paint primer / polisher. Using this EXO Gtechniq also for the ceramic but next time might use the light serum before hand also. Looks great.

      Running rich in conditions where it shouldn't probably won't do great things for catalytic converter lifespan. I would fix that sooner than later.
