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.

    • Do you think the guys in Penrith are install the E85 Kit?
    • Thanks Pac!   I will reach out to them!
    • Yes, but 2 things of the top of my head, 1. Legalities of nitrous on a street car. 2. No chop chop. I fully understand that there's much cheaper ways to make power, and whilst a wet 50 shot is fairly cheap to install, bottle fills are expensive, and bottles always need to be refilled, and nitrous also has its own inherent issues with reliability, and tuning, from my experience of others using nitrous, it doesn't take alot to lunch a engine real quick if something goes slightly wrong when spraying, if I wanted a big chunk of additional powers, a spooly boy would make alot more sense, disregarding the additional engineering, supporting mods and other logistical issues of sticking a spooly boy on a car that came naturally aspirated from factory  In the end I'm not racing for sheep stations, and I don't really care if people make more power, or are faster than me, or spend less, or more than me, the only thing the car needs to do is drive around and make me smile, which it is doing now Really, I just want a shiny new intake to look at when I'm cleaning the engine bay, and of course, some more induction doorts, and maybe even that 5kw for that elusive 200hp cherry on top that I might get If the FAB9 intake plenum, TB and air filter box thing doesn't eventuate for whatever reason, Plasmaman do one, not as fancy looking, and a fair chunk of more cash is required when including the TB and other bits and pieces that are required to install it, but, it is another option that is available to me if FAB9 one does fall down (but I really, really.....really, want the FAB9 one though) TL;DR. You want what you want
