Ride Height

[Shadex]

Hey all, does anyone know many mm it is between the guards and the tyre for being to low? Like does anyone know the legal ride height? And where is it measured to. ( Example :Bottom of the guard to the Top of the tyre )

middle to wheel to guard lip and its prob different for each car!!!

I am pretty sure for a R33 GTST it is 235mm and 245mm (front and rear)....correct me if i am wrong please.....and it is measured from the centre of you hub to the top of the wheel arch

Yeah. About 345mm for the front give or take. I've been told rear just needs to sit level with the front (given that rear guards are lower to front anyway). And ultimately, you need 100mm clearance from any part of your car, to the ground (with the exception of wheels of course).

Someone else my shed more light on this.

I think you mean 335mm and 345mm? 235mm and 245mm are way too low dude

[Krishy]

my bad yes i meant 335 and 345.....its been a long day for me

Pretty sure those figures for the 33gtst are correct but why listen to us a phone call to regency will take a minute and you can be 100% sure.

I might give them a call tomorrow, just mines 338-340mm at the front about 350mm at the back and thats with coilovers.. so im happy =D, Thanks alot guys

R32 and R33 Turbos are 360mm all round. So not far off stock height.

Non-turbo's sit a little lower.

Unsure if they have since updated the black book.

I have mine sitting at 360mm all round with adjustable coil overs.

So that means 360 and above is legal yep? If so that sucks

Mabye i better call them tomorrow just incase.

[Cubes]

My stock old suspension had sagged up front a fair bit. 350mm up front. lol

When I gave them a buzz I was told for the R32 turbo its 360mm all round; a mate who was defected a year or so ago was shown the same thing in the officers little book.

Be sure to let us know if things have changed.

[Shadex]

Well i hope they have changed it =( Im sick of trying to keep my car non defectable as possible but still looking nice and sounding nice.

but if police really find out it was a non turbo then im off to regency and engineers report to tell them my brakes and engine are properly fitted

[Krishy]

My mate got defected in this 33 s2 a couple of years back and his height was 330mm front and 340mm at the rears.....the cop told him he was 5mm to low to be legal.....

[morbsy]
