Hi all,

Looking to lower my 33 (gtst), has RG (JTC N1 DAMPER) coilovers, which are height adjustable in both the body and the spring platform.

Does anyone if it's easy to do, and what is needed to get it done? I would take it to a suspensionist but before i do would be

sweet to find out how it works.

Any info appreciated

Cheers.

they have already been fitted to my car (came with it when purchased), just want to lower ride height (as its a 4x4 at the moment).

Have been told there are some tools which come with a set of coilovers so that they can be adjusted, this i dont have.

Got to stop being lazy and come up and see u and obtain one of these C spanners...

Though i remember u said we have to get a wheel alignment after we change it?

Yeah after changing the height, it will need to be realigned :(

ok here's what you do

obtain c spanners from somewhere.

jack up car.

get under car.

get dirty.

try to work out c spanners.

measure up ride height.

change ride height.

possibly cut your hands if you forgot to put gloves on.

swear.

give up halfway thru.

get a passiona.

sit on couch.

wait for it to get dark.

try again.

give up again.

swear.

go to bed.

get up for work the enxt morning and realise u don't have a car to get to work in and it's all your own fault.

take a day off work to fix the mess you made.

realise overnight someone nicked your c spanners.

swear.

go on forum and make thread asking for more c spanners.

wait.

swear.

wait.

wish you never started it.

OR...

pick up phone.

call a suspension shop.

pay them to do it.

be happy and stress free with lowered and aligned and wheel balanced car.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
