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.

      Definitely the stroker kit. once you mention you have a RB28 everyone will assume you will flog them and hopefully won't start asking about support mods. Anyone will be too scared to race you, except maybe the RB30 boys

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Just a quick update: I decided to go ahead with the de-cat for now. The exhaust shop inspected the catalytic converter and said it was in good condition. I took a look myself, and it does not appear broken nor clogged. After the de-cat, the car feels more responsive and smoother. The shop also reinstalled the exhaust temperature sensor into the de-cat pipe, and now the warning light no longer comes on, even when driving hard. The only thing that’s bugging me is the tinny, “can-like” sound the exhaust makes now (similar to having a hole in the muffler). The shop suggested that I might need to replace the muffler. I'll have to think on what to do next.

      I want to start upgrading but don't have the budget to drop 15k at once, if i was to do one first which would be better and why?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yuh. It is very rare for a single turbo to throw ceramic into the engine. Quite common on GTRs. As I posted above. Mine did destroy the O2 sensor on the way out though! Plastic compressor is fine with the temperature. It's not some flimsy PE/PET/PP thermoplastic. It's a thermoset resin with reinforcing material in it (a composite, as posted by @Lithium above). The compressor never sees much more than 100°C because it's never boosting very high. If you boost it high enough to make a lot of temperature, then the turbine will depart the scene and stop the party anyway.

      From what I understand, it's a ceramic turbine and a plastic compressor (not sure how it doesn't melt then lol) I heard the series 2 r34 gtt has a metal turbine but I doubt that. @GTSBoy When you blew your standard neo turbo it didn't cause damage from memory just the turbine ended up in the cat?
