hooray car is lowered!

I think its down to 340mm

Worried about the front as i have a feeling they might hit the lip if i turn wheel and hit a bump.. ^^,

Now i need to fit on the typeM skits/rear pods + spoiler and it will be all good :P

rolling i can deal with, but not really keen on flarring..

Can you post a pic of a closer look at the flarring?

Also how low is your car from centre to wheel arch?

I think my shocks will drop the height to 340mm and hope i wont need to flare..

Thanks

oi i rekon those URAS's were perfect offset and size for the rear, looks real tough, u can either play around with the rear camber to slip them under or get the guards rolled, although i have to say, i didnt have any issues with mine before i rolled my gaurds, im running around -1 degree of camber. u definitely wont need flaring.

this is mine when i had those wheels before Rekin (17x8/9 +30):

now with some modenas which are soon to be sold aswell (17x8.5/9.5 +45/+38, fronts with 25mm spacers):

next on my list will be something around the 17x9 +20 mark which will sit out another 10mm at the rear from both of those rear wheels and a few mm further than where those fronts are sitting in the 2nd pic.

340mm is best height for r32 in terms of handling. Refer to sydneykid's posts etc for detailed information :whistling:
yep spot on, mine in those pics is the recommended height, using SK's GB kit.

yep I got SK's whiteline set up too

Just took car for drive, mine are scrubbing bad at front.

Any dips in the road and then you hear a creeking noise coming from the fronts.

Not sure if its scrubbing or perhaps the springs/shocks? as it seems to only come from the front right?

Guess its rolling lip on the weekend ~_~

Bummer dude, take the front wheels off and see if there is any damage on the tyres or body both inner and outer, i know that on a certian amount of lock my wheels touch the side skirts, on full they just tap the inner metals and over crazy massive bumps they might just tap the plastic under the guard... but ive got crazy stiff coilovers :(

Hey Rekin, I think your problem could be something to do with your shocks mate. Did you purchase second hand shocks and springs or new?

2nd hand kyb shocks with 2nd hand hks springs.

Perhaps i should get a suspension check done at Pedders?

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
