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.

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
