Just driving back from seeing a doctor, copper turned onto the road i was on, then merged his way into behind me, and flashed his lights on.

Came to the car and picked the first thing that stood out which was "the car looks a little low"

10mm on the rear too low and 30mm too low on the front.

If he has to go over the pits, they will know

exactly. Im planning to go over once, so im returning the driveline and everything to stock as possible.

edit/ the cop actually commented on how clean the car was with no leaks, and bushes are all good...

aw man that sux i also would of though the RB25 gearbox would of been ok

but i guess you might know better

The 25t box would be ok but one needs to find a factory gearbox crossmember and mount that bolts up to the rb25 box + R32 combo.

Unsure if a GTR/GTS4 cross member will bolt up. Some have said the Auto crossmember bolts up.

Then there's the single piece tail shaft. :(

was actually along the road that goes down to hallet cove along the 80km/h section. had to pull into the hungry jacks car park.

Only if your car was an auto gtst will a std cross member bolt in to make it look origional.

Looks like i can do all the swapsies with Cubes :(

no circlework with the Nismo diff either cubes :(

Bugger that's right near where I live. Will have to keep an eye out for that d#@$ head.

I thought the rule was for the ride height to be legal the car only had to clear the ground by 10cm. Doesn't sound like you're anywhere near that low, though 30mm on the front would be down a bit I guess, but not rediculously so. Glad I haven't lowered mine.

I want a Madaz Grandma :(

Jazza,

There's a few different measurements it needs to pass not to be considered too low.

1. The R32 GTST must be no lower than 360mm all round.

2. The lowest part of the car must have 100mm ground clearance.

3. Some measurement of the headlight to ground height.

Number 3 is ignored as some factory cars are released with a headlight level that is too low. Some honda's from memory.

So 1 & 2 are the ones to look out for.

Just to note... My stock suspensioned R32 GTST measures ~365mm all around.

So the 360mm measurement means you cannot run lowered suspension. I'm assuming they have a slightly lower height to allow for some suspension sag, possible differences in manufacturing and or a full tank of juice.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
