I recently bought an R33 GTST and I'm trying to get my car road worthy'd in the ACT currently and i was told i have insufficient ground clearance. The only part that that is insufficient is the massive exhaust that was fitted before i purchased the car by about 1-1.5cm when it was on 205/55/16s. I have since fitted 225/40/18s to the car and it has had an improvement but not by a huge amount. I discovered that the springs have been chopped (when one fell out going around a round about) to an unknown height. So I am now looking at the 30mm lowered King springs to replace the chopped springs and would like to know what the distance from centre of the wheel to the arch would be. As my springs have been chopped i have no idea what a 3cm drop would look like on my car

TL;DR : Don't know if king springs will be too low, what's the expected height

Also, if anyone has some stock springs lying around that i could purchase hit me up because i would like to go to coilovers in the near future and only need the springs to pass RW

Kings low generally leaves the car at legal height.  The legal eyebrow height for most R32-4 it about 345-355 mm from the top of the (stock, unmodified) wheel arch to the centre of the hub cap.  You can actually do a search to find out exactly what it is for R33s front and rear.

    • Haha actually I did join back then under a different email address,  I couldn't re-activate my account so made a new one! I didn't post much anyway so not missing out on much. Amazing to see how the value of the cars and parts has changed over the years, also ACT section appears to be dead now. 
    • Thanks... It's in pretty good condition overall, probably due to not being drifted/tuned however being a daily driver has taken its toll. Had 100k on the clock when I got it, up to 180k now. Unfortunately it's not 100% dent free, it's got a small dent on FLH side and broken indicator from where I hit a small kangaroo at high speed. If you look at closely at pic #5 you might spot the dodgy trailer light repair my old man and I rigged up as temporary repair! - It's still there due to a combo of needing the car as daily driver and then too lazy/busy to fix properly. I've a couple of other minor accidents accidents as well but nothing major. One required a new front bar and unfortunately the smash repairer ordered the normal gtst one and not the aero bar. Needed the car back asap so just went with it, regretted ever since.
    • I can't believe that anyone is foolish enough to believe that the base maps are for any other purpose than to drive the car up onto the trailer/truck or gently creep it to the dyno. No matter how good they are, they can never be any better than the factory maps**, and only the foolish trust those on a significantly modified setup. **Yeah, yeah. I know there's also the difference between factory maps being fixed to certain injector sizes and MAP/AFM/VE relationships, and the likely aftermarket ECU base maps being better able to handle the sorts of changes that would render a stock ECU dangerous, like different sized injectors. But let's just ignore that for the moment, because the principle is still the same.  
    • I'm shocked, you've owned a Skyline since 2006 and never joined SAU before now! 😮   Welcome, it's much quieter these days than it was in 2006, but lots of very knowledgeable ones lurk around here. I actually think in outage we've forgotten more about Skylines than anyone knows about them today... 😛
    • So it could give us some info. Such as we find out what number they started at, and we know how many of those blocks came before it.
