Hi all

Looking at lowering my R34 1.5"

Tempe tyres has quoted 450 to lower with King Springs which should include alignment.

I dont have the time to do it myself, and would like a good job done.

Tempe are charging 400 if done with KMac springs, but Id rather go King.

They are willing to do me a deal if I buy some wheels off them. Unforuntately they havent been able to tell me what kind of deal as it depends on the wheels I want to get.

Any suggestions or ideas about other places in Sydney who can lower my car at a reasonable price??

Thanks

definitely dont go king springs...

coilovers really are the way to go. and youll get so much more handling improvement from coilovers.

youll get used to the loss of ride comfort from coilovers pretty quickly, and then youll smile when your flying through the hills or on a track

Skylines come standard with coil overs, the coil spring goes around the shock.

:P cheers :)

as per our discussions, get some coilovers :( save up a bit more; you won't regret it :)

Skylines come standard with "coil overs", the coil spring goes around the shock.

So are you saying he should stay with the standard "coil overs"?

Or buy aftermarket "coil overs"?

He can't buy aftermarket non coil over suspension, because it wouldn't fit anyway.

So he has to buy "coil overs" of some kind, he doesn't have a choice.

Shoud be buy height adjustable "coil overs"?

On car or off car height adjustable "coil overs"?

What about shock damping?

Adjustable bump?

Adjustable rebound?

Both? Together or separate adjustment?

In cabin adjustable?

Should he buy used $400 "coil overs" or new $10K "coil overs"?

They are all "coil overs".

Telling someone to buy "coil overs" is like saying buy "black tyres".

It doesn't realy help.

:) cheers ;)

LOL...it had to happen sooner or later :)

NA R32s still use wishbone suspension, so yes use coil overs. If you owned an S13, Commodore etc which uses Macpherson struts etc, then the term "buy coil overs" makes a little more sense, but its still like saying, buy an engine for your car, you wont regret it :)

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Unless you have big cams, there is no reason for an RB to idle at any more than the stock 650. No, it is not 850, 950, or anything else. It is 650. In fact, it might even be 550. I just opened an arbitrary stock Neo file in Nistune, and this is what I see

      I love the undertray, especially the flappy bit for easier access for serving I'm thinking of fabing up one at work for the MX5 while I still have access to the metal shop at work with a guillotine and press brake Whilst removing the plastic undertray on the MX5 isn't to hard, I love the idea of a 2 bolt flap as opposed to removing the whole thing

      A little progress; I took the opportunity of an oil change to take a sample for oil analysis, will be interesting to see how it was treated for its first 125,000klm (I know how it has been treated since :rofl:) I went with 5w40 and will see what that does for oil pressure at higher revs. Also fitted the Z1 front undertray....a little more sturdy than the plastic factory one (although I suspect it won't stop a tree stump ) Nicest thing about it really is the 2 bolt "service panel"....a gift to the oil changer compared to removing 14 bolts holding the factory tray.

      Quick Lifts? Anybody got one?

      By Duncan · Posted

      I think a scissor lift is better/faster in most cases, but I guess it does obstruct access to the centre of the car? BTW I weighed the quick jack. 3.5 tonne model is 50kg for each side. So yes, portable, but not with one finger
