Just play around with it a bit man, adjusting height isn't too difficult so just play around with the settings and you'll find the right height ;)

On my 34 the standard setting sat at about 1.5-2cm above tires, so that may help?

Yeah that al depends on the type of Tein coilover.

When i got mine from Japan 2nd hand, i didnt touch them and just threw them straight in the car. lol. Turned out perfect for what i wanted.

The only way to get it perfect for you, is as was said, play around. I have Type HA, this was where they were set:

And this is how it looks.

So a very broad assumption, is wind em down an inch lower than mine are set and go from there lol. FYI, 330mm from center of wheel to lip of guards, F+R.

Just thought id try posting here, when removing standard spring/shocks for coilovers do you need spring compressors? and does it matter which way the coilover faces? i have bc racing ones,

If there the ones i have, then lol i hope you enjoy a the bumps :P

I have mine set to the absolute limit on lowness for the rear ones and the fronts are about a quarter from the lowest, if you go too low on the front then obviously the tyres rub

also the stiffness adjustment i have mine on softest it will go on back and maybe 5-6turns on front, takes a while to find the right settings and hight and also tyre pressure will play a part too..

have fun... :yes:

You only need spring compressors if you intend to separate the spring from the shock. Given with a coilover install you are removing the whole unit as one piece no you don't need spring compressors.

cool thanks thats what i thought,

also other than the fronts needing the longer side facing outwards does it matter how the tops or rears are facing? or can they be rotated/installed either way.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.

      No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.

      I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same

      The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
