Hi i was wondering what type of tein coilovers the attached picture is, and how much i could get for them on resale. The picture below is the same model i have however are not actually mine (mine are in better condition). I beleive they are dampening adjustable and height as i have wound it out and noticed a softer ride.

Also what would be some spring/adjustable shock combinations (i.e. whiteline and bilstein adjust.)? which you could recommend for a fairly hard setup which would be good for a stiff setup (little body roll) yet still fairly decent over bumps in the road. (coming from teins, everything seems like its a much bigger bump than it is)

Cheers, David.

Hi David, check out the Bilstein/Whiteline Group Buy for your model of Skyline. Body roll is best controlled by the stabiliser bars, that's why the Group Buy kit has good ride, sporty, but not harsh and great handling.

:( Cheers :)

How can you tell the difference between HA's and the other ones which are dampening adjustable.?

HA's are damper adjustable. but the ones in your pic look like HR to me.

either way just ask the bloke who is selling them. or do a little research.

Hey here are two pics of the coilovers, i was wondering if any of u suspension experts could confirm what type they are.....

About dampening, few wks back i turned the tops of this supsension a little anti clockwise, if i remember correctly, and for two turns or there abouts i thought i could feel a slight difference (marginal but it felt like it was there). This was done using vice grips as there are no "knobs" on the top of the suspension.

Would be great if someone could confirm them....as i want to sell them off and get some normal stiff suspension.

Cheers, David.

i am 90% sure they are not HAs. to adjust the dampening you don't need vice grips. there is a little knurled knob on the top with a allen key type hole in the middle. you turn it with your fingers and it clicks as you turn it.

    • It's kind of interesting - They definitely do builds that split the difference between what they like and what will generate views and engagement. The NC Platform always surprises everyone in a good way, in an uncomfortably good way some may say. They could throw a LS in there and arguably have the best (and best performing) car of the entire stable. But that isn't necessarily what draws views, because people viewing don't want to accept the vegetables of a LS NC MX5 being a superior vehicle in every way (including fun) than a RB26 240Z. This is also why there's not a lot of content about the GR Yaris (on the web in general). They're too good, yet 'only a Yaris' The community doesn't want certain cars to be as good as they are - to beat their hero cars, and I believe the NC MX5 is absolutely one of those cars.
    • Yeah - My key still does the chime thing. I followed the procedure but it didn't activate on the (identical) third set of keyfob that I had. I vaguely remember the alarm saying you can only pair two keys with it. Now that I've dug it up, it appears that you very much can pair keyfobs to the alarm system. (which are the fobs I use to unlock the car). I have successfully diverted the thread and can probably not use the OEM keyfob ever again unless I use the aftermarket alarm and attempt to pair the OEM keyfob to it. Which might just work, or not :D. I definitely used the nissan method and not the aftermarket alarm method.
    • What makes it worse is that Nissan made keys in the same style, for example R34 and Stagea, but they work at different frequencies or something like that. So they look the same but the remotes are not interchangeable. I learned that from some guy selling aftermarket blank keys.
    • Does your door chime work when you have the key in the lock and open the door? I've had that disabled because it's f**king annoying and it is one thing that messes with the pairing. Because now the car doesn't detect key in ignition anymore and the slide-key-in-and-out sequence does not trigger the pairing mode anymore. The service manual has a section on the various bits involved in doing the syncing. I presume it'll be similar between Stagea and R34.
    • Agree, but meh, I think is is based more on LOLS than actually apples to apples, like, who would have thunk a turbo 4 cylinder would not beat a NA 4 cylinder  I think with just basic N/A mods, like a exhaust and tune, it would be equal to the Mini in its current form, maybe I know my current 2.5 would "chop the mini" as the midrange now has a night and day difference in power delivery compared to the tuned 2.0, by around 20kwatw and 30nm from around 2k rpm "ish"....... I'm kinda hoping that they do a N/A build, either with the MZR 2.0 or with whatever they decide to use If I recall correctly they did talk about K swapping one a while ago
