use will probably say im stupid for 2 things... 1 for not searching and 2 for not knowing..

1)

well it is the first time ive owned a nissan.. and plus theres alot of things i do have to learn about skylines etc..

2) i couldnt find any topics on adjusting heights...

my skyline has adjustable coilovers.. i want to know how i can lower it only at the back as it is a bit too high... how do i do it..? do i need a special tool etc etc.. if neone knows something let us know! thanks guys

What type of Tien you got?

though I think its should be similar.

To adjust the height,

You need to jack the car up!

take the wheels off,

the hubs out as well,

then you get to the suspension!

and you wind the screw up! you need a special C spanner!

If u take the wheels off,

i think you will know what i mean!

hope that helps!

lol... well i did take the wheel off... and i dont think the hub has to come off... the part that looks ajustable.. is further up where the coils are.. is that right? or am i looking at the wrong thing? it has 2 different winds right on eachother.. i tried to screw them up/down they wont moove...?? was i looking at the right thing.. and then someone told me u need a special tool so i just left it

Use a shit load of WD40 all over the thread and the adjuster bit itself.

You'll notice there are two spinny thingos. The bottom one locks the top one, so the first move you need to make is crack the bottom one so it moves down. You can then move the top one.

If you dont have the right tool i guess you can use a wrench. I dont have the tool for my Apexi's so we used a wrench, a hammer, a flat head screw driver and our hands and it worked fine.

Can I make a suggestion that you might not be happy with.

Take it to a suspension place and get them to teach you how to do it and what you should be adjusting to etc

I only have stock suspension and know next to nothing about teins but I wouldn't dream of touching something that important without knowing a fair bit about it.

    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
    • Everyone wants an ECU they can plug onto their engine, modified or not, and put of the box it just runs perfectly like a brand new modern engine straight off the production line. Too many people just don't understand things like the base maps are as you said, just to give a starting point, and then you need to spend time getting it right for your vehicle.   I wonder if the people wanting it are the same ones who'll just buy a chip for a "stage 2 tune" online and then wonder why their engine blew up...
    • Quite possible! And well worth checking out, as it will be more durable than paint
