Currently, my r32 is stock height and for a while ive been wanting it to lower the car. Well, over the past few days, ive been calling up a few places and ive been told that you cant get SuperLow springs for a r32 skyline gts-t. Is this true?

Both jax and pedders told me they can only do a 30mm drop, which isnt much. Where can i go lower? here is a pic of my car...

or take it to a mechanic and get them to lower it for you

Their is no superlow or ultra low king springs for ANY nissan car, check out the cataloge yourself. Why is this???

page 19, Nissan skyline R32 - KDFL-101 fronts & KDRL-102 rear

not sure why its comming up as not having any

or as i said in my previous post, speak to a mechanic and see what they can get

i was talking about the 2009 king spring super/ultra low catalogue. Heres the link:

http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/Ki...ue%20040203.pdf

only 4 pages, where did you get page 19 from?

but if your trying to drop down that far, why dont you get coilovers?

i dare say you'll end up farking your struts lowering that much on the street

Dude are you aware of all the bad stuff that happens when you lower alot?

- smashed up shocks (check out SKs thread)

- you wont be able to align it usefully anymore so your tyre life is down the toilet (unless you shell out on adjustable bushes/arms)

- handling stuffed

The above statements are oversimplified - just do your homework :)

what are you talking about??

you get MUCH better handling if your lower your car, springs or coilovers... you got a GTR but u got the intellect of a honda ricer. Oh, and about the smashed up shocks? Yeh, maybe in 20 years my shocks will go :)

LOL mate he's right. Seems that you are the Honda ricer. It's common knowledge superlows on stock shocks handle like absolute shit. Do ur research.

eventually

thats why if u went coilovers, both strut & springs are designed for that sort of punishment,

stock suspension is designed for pure stock standards (as far as ride height goes) when you go lowering it, like whats said above, you'll be having all sorts of problems

just go coilovers

honestly man, coilovers cost too much. A set of used ones will cost me about $1000+. Also, im not trying to turn my skyline into a track car.

true about coilovers being pricey, but you can still get street ridable coilovers (they arent just for track) all depends on the spring rate/tube design

say you spend 300 on springs (if you can find king springs), + the labour to fit them might take it up somewhere around 600-700 (not sure on what sydney prices are for labour) then once your struts have a blow out & the other associated problems that go along with it, then replace your struts & fix those associated problems.. you're up near the 1000-1500 mark (labour inclusive)

to give you an idea - i was quoted 1200-1300 for king springs (30mm) & new struts fitted, for something that would have been a medioca ride, the same place suggested a set of coilovers they would do for 1600-1700 fitted - this is on a 4 door R33, basically told them i wanted the ride as comfortable as possible while still being able to drop the car and not have it bottom out over every shit peice of road up here in brisbane

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
