Hi guys i have looked but cant find anything...

im thinking of putting some king spring onto my 34 gtt, just the lows as i have only the std schocks..anyways what i want to know is, how much lower the car will actually get?? they say 35mm but i havent seen anybody write how low it actually went, imo 35mm really isnt that much lower.

Anybody with them fitted could u give us a height ur car is sitting and maybe some pics too. duz it look good at the lower height??

Thanks guys.

You will find that you car wont actually be 35mm lower. YOur current springs would have sagged a bit over time. The Kings are 35mm lower from the stock springs when new. SO if your std springs have sagged 20mm then it will only be 15mm lower than it is now.

I know it is a fair bit more, but it is well worth waiting a bit longer and saving for some coilovers or some matched springs and struts.

get coilovers. wind it all the way down till your rail/exhaust hits the ground. wind it up 5mm. done.

My thoughts exactly when I read the first post.

(aside from the toilet paper roll length list of things its going to screw on the suspension geometry)

re-fixed

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
