Hey guys,

Recently bought some Tein SS's off a forum member but im beginning to feel that they may not be what i was described...

They are for an R33 gtst, and they fit in perfectly, rears have the eye mounting that gts-t's require etc and the front fit fine.

Now what has me confused is, the rears are wound all the way down so the spring is not compressed by the collar at all and im still measuring 380mm from hub to gaurd, which is approx standard. Now i was under the impression that this was the coilovers lowest setting? winding it the other way increases that height. Is this as low as tein SS's go? I can still fit three fingers between the wheel and the gaurd.

Also, the fronts are giving me grief to. Wound all the way down (spring not compressed by collar) the wheels are touching the insides of the gaurds. At the moment i have them wound around half way along the threads and its still super low.

Now does anyone know whats going on here? Have i been sold GTR front coils and GTS-t rears?

If you have tein super streets on your gtst can you please post where you have the collars sitting.

Thanks heaps guys!

I had a similar issue with superstreets on the rear of my r32 (it was only 340 center to guard though). front's were fine, they got down to about 310.

As i bought them new locally i took them back and got them to fit a 50mm shorter spring with a helper in the rear as they weren't as advertised. In the end i got the rear down to around 310 from memory at the lowest.

ill let u know man, cause the guy in fulcrum said they are set up out of the box at standard ride height but has u can see from the pic there only seems to be about 1 inch on thread to wind them down.. so i dont know.. i am going to install them as is and see what the height is like and go from there.

interested to hear if anyone who has aus spec tein ss's can coment about height.

Looking at a pic of your car tonga mine wont go as low as you have them now. (over 18's)

Dont know whats going on... the part number on the rear shock says BNCR33 which is a GTR part number but GTR rear shocks have a square bracket not an eye! which these DO have.

Dont know what the hell is going on...

So yeah rear is sitting at around 365

and front is sitting around 335 with the springs compressed up pretty far.

Will this adversely affect my handling?

because its effectively putting more weight over the front of the car rather than the rear....

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
