ended up getting about 2inches lower, guards just above the wheels now. Looks so much better.

the equipment ended up being a mix of 200SX and s13 fitments, plus the electronic adjustment function of the suspension was removed up front.... kept at the back for a tidbit of extra adjustment.

used sports ryder coil springs, new struts and replaced all radius rod bushes (they were farked).... much nicer now, but big speed humps scare me. got a bit of the ol grind going - so I am going to cut down the mud flaps and maybe put a brace protector over the exhaust at its lowest point like I did on my ol truck - its a great way to protect your new turbo back exhaust from getting squished!

I will have some photos in an hour or so when my furkin camera finished charging.

so much for not spending money on the ceffy!

if anyone wants the product codes for the exact bits you will need to drop a stock ceffy just ask I have them here today.

can you take some underbody shots when u have time ?? my stock exhuast gets scraped on reasonably small humps... can't imagine what it will be like with aftermarket exhuast..

make sure its not your mud flaps those things hang quite low and make a surprisingly nasty noise. If it is your exhaust, what height are you at? It looks pretty low from the pics I have seen (if mem serves me correctly).

i don't have a cannon style muffler, I have a stock looking end - that might be a better option, but first, where does yours actually get scraped?

I'd say thats the way to go, and pull off the mud guards.... will look heaps better without them anyway

thanks for putting up the underbody pics kursed :D

my car looks a little lower than that... it was 50mm off the ground when it first got here... still too low i think.. i wouldn't care if i was scraping the front bar or any bodyparts but it sounds like i'm scraping the exhuast... (mine doesn't have mud flaps either..)

you'd be lucky to fit a tally ho under the lowest part of your car john :(

Mine came here with only 90mm front. I couldnt get shi*t under there to change the worn out tyres. Even the mechanic hoists coudnt help as i wasnt able to go over it due to the front bar. Ended up having to use a mini-jack to get it to reasonable height then take the larger jack later on.

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
