recently adjusted my coilovers and lowered them but i think one side is higher than the other. I counted the coils and everything and marked off where i should lower it to but it still seems crooked. Is there any why to get it perfect? or is there a way to measure the height of each?

help pleeeease!

thanks!

Dont forget if you've got a big ass sub hangin around in the boot it will be off

Ussally the car is set at different heights anyways.. Nose slightly up tail slightly lower.. R34 optimum setup is meant to be 350 front 340 rear from memory (my memory often serves me wrong)

To summerise:

- Make sure car is on level/flat ground.

- Measure height from centre of wheel to arch

- Ideal height for handling is: 350mm @ front, 340mm @ rear

- 1mm adj on coil = 1mm adj in height.

- After each adjustment go for a drive, swerving from side to side, to try and seattle the shocks b4 re-measuring.

- After a few days, re-check the height as the coil-overs would have deffinately settled

The movement/leverage ratios are 1:1 for skylines as the spring/shock unit is connected to the hub and moves vertically (not in an arc or on an angle).

So 5mm movement of spring seat/lower bracket will raise/lower the car 5mm.

Besides that, Al's on the money.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
