hooray car is lowered!

I think its down to 340mm

Worried about the front as i have a feeling they might hit the lip if i turn wheel and hit a bump.. ^^,

Now i need to fit on the typeM skits/rear pods + spoiler and it will be all good :P

rolling i can deal with, but not really keen on flarring..

Can you post a pic of a closer look at the flarring?

Also how low is your car from centre to wheel arch?

I think my shocks will drop the height to 340mm and hope i wont need to flare..

Thanks

oi i rekon those URAS's were perfect offset and size for the rear, looks real tough, u can either play around with the rear camber to slip them under or get the guards rolled, although i have to say, i didnt have any issues with mine before i rolled my gaurds, im running around -1 degree of camber. u definitely wont need flaring.

this is mine when i had those wheels before Rekin (17x8/9 +30):

now with some modenas which are soon to be sold aswell (17x8.5/9.5 +45/+38, fronts with 25mm spacers):

next on my list will be something around the 17x9 +20 mark which will sit out another 10mm at the rear from both of those rear wheels and a few mm further than where those fronts are sitting in the 2nd pic.

340mm is best height for r32 in terms of handling. Refer to sydneykid's posts etc for detailed information :whistling:
yep spot on, mine in those pics is the recommended height, using SK's GB kit.

yep I got SK's whiteline set up too

Just took car for drive, mine are scrubbing bad at front.

Any dips in the road and then you hear a creeking noise coming from the fronts.

Not sure if its scrubbing or perhaps the springs/shocks? as it seems to only come from the front right?

Guess its rolling lip on the weekend ~_~

Bummer dude, take the front wheels off and see if there is any damage on the tyres or body both inner and outer, i know that on a certian amount of lock my wheels touch the side skirts, on full they just tap the inner metals and over crazy massive bumps they might just tap the plastic under the guard... but ive got crazy stiff coilovers :(

Hey Rekin, I think your problem could be something to do with your shocks mate. Did you purchase second hand shocks and springs or new?

2nd hand kyb shocks with 2nd hand hks springs.

Perhaps i should get a suspension check done at Pedders?

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
