[300477]

Good new re the defect.

Just to add from my defect experience, I now carry a photocopy of the regency vehicle ride height for my car in my glove box for occasions just like this one.

[Cubes]

Gave regency a buzz today.

New booklet with updated ride heights.

He said the GTST went from 360mm all round to 345mm front 355 rear as indicated in this thread.

I love it how we are supposed to be up to date walking robots when it comes to defects.

pretty sure my z32 afm aint gonna kill the planet.

this might sound stupid lol but im just thinking out loud here so bear with me.

So going by that they measure from your centre cap to the eyebrow if you wanted your car lower than the legal requirements you could then shave a bit off the eyebrow and then sit it lower so it is then measuring the right measurements??? lol im bored at uni

if they cant get you in regard to center hub to eyebrow, then they will go and look for a part of your car lower than 100mm, if they cant fit a coke can standing up under the lowest part of the car....defect

[ecenshu]

I'm pretty sure a coke can standing is around 130mm...

[rhys5169]

did you just go measure that then???lol i should have been clearer, i was generally speaking

[ecenshu]

Nah, I remember getting paranoid about my minimum clearance...and a friend told me about the coke can which I had absolutely no chance of going over! So I measured it a while ago

100mm at lowest point, mine was exhaust, easily fixed because my hangers were bent wrong when installing the high flow cat hence it was way lower than it should have been.

[rhys5169]

my front lip is like a snow plow

[Cubes]

the front 10mm lower than the rear? isnt it the other way round?

Thats what he said.. Confirmed twice.

From memory the rear guard is cut lower than the front so possibly the reason for the slightly higher rear.

With stock shocks my rear was ~10mm higher than the front also but I suspect the front had sagged a tad.

[mid life crisis]

hey cubes are those heights for r33 as well or just r32

[ted180]

either way, they undid the wrong doings of another cop, in my books that deserves praise. but noone praises the cops when they do good, everyone just shoots them down when they do 'bad', if doing your job is a bad thing.

off topic, your car looks sick in your sig.

just a tip , if an undercover cop pulls you over and doesn't show a badge , ask them to see one , if they decline your at liberty to leave as they have no jurisdiction if they cannot produce a badge

had experience with this tonight with a mate and his car

wonder how it works for me as ive flared my guards, i would expect i have an extra few mm of eyebrow height then stock.
