BC for sure, I had them in my last R34 & put them in my current R34. Went standard 8/6 & on full soft I dont think they are much stiffer than the king springs that were on before. Full hard really is HARD!

It's not listed as a Type 1 Hooning Offence AFAIK / IIRC so it wouldn't result in an impound..although, for the paranoids:

"Dangerous operation of a motor vehicle" is a Type 1 Offence...and a very broad offence at that...open to interpretation whether an excessively low car qualifies....:P

You'd have to be pretty unlucky to get done for something like that...

Cheers mate, does anyone know if your car is below 100m and your just randomly Encountered by police can they impound your car or is it just warning/defect?

AFAIK defect. Adjustable height coilovers are also defectable even if you are above 100mm. 100mm is whilst the car is under full load.

I have lowered my car leaving a finger width gap between the tyre & wheel arch & the body is still well over 100mm off the ground, I think it was around 150mm. I dont have a body kit on it.

My exhaust however at its lowest point is less than 100mm off the ground. Still not sure if they measure from the lowest part of the car or from a structural part.

Lowest point mate. Get a bracket made to bring it up?

Iirc the height adjustment threading can be spoiled/locked so it's impossible to go below 100mm, then mod plate issued. Most people wouldn't dare to spoil their expensive coilovers though so no one does it. I've been driving with bcs for 4 years now, only got pulled up once and the dude just said it's too low and drove off, mind you this is in an s15 that was slammed to kingdom come lol. My current caris much mmore sensibly set up and no attention attracted so far. If you don't plan to slam it then good chance they won't care, but it's your choice in the end.

Edit: left out an important detail never been through a roadside defect station ever. If you got stopped at one then that would be a different ballgame...

      I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p

      Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32

      AC not coming from top vents

      By Templim · Posted

      Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.

      Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
