Hi one and all. Does anyone here know where I can get a tein coilover top hat replacement? Well I bought a set of tein coilover from a member here on july but didn't get it done until yesterday cos had some other things to mind to install and had it installed all yesterday.

Was told by the member that the coilovers were good and no knocking or oil leaks and sorts. True that was no leaks but after installation and adjusted when for a drive and found that one of the fronts pairs knock whenever going thru a bump or uneven road surface. Response and rebound from that particular corner is still good no sag or bounciness so the shocks is good but according to my mechanic it most likely thing that is causing the knocking is the top hat.

So does anyone out there has got a spoilt/wrecked set of tein coilovers for a ER34 Gtt would not mind parting with it? I would like to get the top hat only if you want to keep the rest like the springs and such. Or anyone knows where I can get my hands on a new tein top hat?

Cheers

Daniel

Name and shame the person, people should be told who the bad traders are and shouldn't rip of a fellow member!

naming and shaming can get the owner of SAU into a lot of legal strife

speak to the bard rdirty3 @wa suspensions sauwa sponser also agents for teins i think

or monga (clint) he might be able to help you out as he gets lots of stuff from japan

Thanks Gazza and SexycanI. Well naming and shaming may not really help cos there are fellow members out there who think that if you buy my seconds then its your problem to be desperate or cheap. But then again not everyone has got money to go new even if they can afford to own or rive the car. It could be a family car but also a dream car for the family man to drive.

Like me the skyline is one of my dream car to own and drive. I'm a family man working and bringing up my young family. Yes when i was younger i upgrade my cars too. So now wif the skyline the performance parts are more expensive so although I like upgrading the parts more for looks sake and feel for the car not soo much racing down the track. For me to go new for a set of coilovers is way over so got myself a seconds but never expected to get ripped by a fellow member from of all thing the skyline forum would have maybe expected this from gumtree or whatever but not skyline forum.

Well maybe I'll get in contact with wa suspensions to see what I can do or fork out more again and maybe just live with the knocking for the time being until cash comes handy again.

Can't coil overs be rebuilt?

tein coilovers can be rebuilt. Plus rebuilding it I should have just gotten new ones instead right from the start. But why can't people here especially in the forums here be honest and not sell defective or spoilt goods to people especially like parts where it needs to be installed before we can know the full serviceablility of the parts? Just plain old cheaters out there. Bringing the skyline forum to shame.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
