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.

I've been wanting to do this as well

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?

Youll need 2 C Spanners which i have :down:

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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What blows me away, is watching some of the US guys, like Tony Angelo at Stay Tuned. LS1, buys a set of heads for $1200, drops a mild cam in, pulls all the electrics, drops a basic inlet manifold with a carb, MSD thing for spark, and roll it out to make 550hp.

      God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different

      R34 4 door indicator and horn issue

      By Randhj · Posted

      I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ

      Can't put strut back

      All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
