Just driving back from seeing a doctor, copper turned onto the road i was on, then merged his way into behind me, and flashed his lights on.

Came to the car and picked the first thing that stood out which was "the car looks a little low"

10mm on the rear too low and 30mm too low on the front.

If he has to go over the pits, they will know

exactly. Im planning to go over once, so im returning the driveline and everything to stock as possible.

edit/ the cop actually commented on how clean the car was with no leaks, and bushes are all good...

aw man that sux i also would of though the RB25 gearbox would of been ok

but i guess you might know better

The 25t box would be ok but one needs to find a factory gearbox crossmember and mount that bolts up to the rb25 box + R32 combo.

Unsure if a GTR/GTS4 cross member will bolt up. Some have said the Auto crossmember bolts up.

Then there's the single piece tail shaft. :(

was actually along the road that goes down to hallet cove along the 80km/h section. had to pull into the hungry jacks car park.

Only if your car was an auto gtst will a std cross member bolt in to make it look origional.

Looks like i can do all the swapsies with Cubes :(

no circlework with the Nismo diff either cubes :(

Bugger that's right near where I live. Will have to keep an eye out for that d#@$ head.

I thought the rule was for the ride height to be legal the car only had to clear the ground by 10cm. Doesn't sound like you're anywhere near that low, though 30mm on the front would be down a bit I guess, but not rediculously so. Glad I haven't lowered mine.

I want a Madaz Grandma :(

Jazza,

There's a few different measurements it needs to pass not to be considered too low.

1. The R32 GTST must be no lower than 360mm all round.

2. The lowest part of the car must have 100mm ground clearance.

3. Some measurement of the headlight to ground height.

Number 3 is ignored as some factory cars are released with a headlight level that is too low. Some honda's from memory.

So 1 & 2 are the ones to look out for.

Just to note... My stock suspensioned R32 GTST measures ~365mm all around.

So the 360mm measurement means you cannot run lowered suspension. I'm assuming they have a slightly lower height to allow for some suspension sag, possible differences in manufacturing and or a full tank of juice.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
