recently adjusted my coilovers and lowered them but i think one side is higher than the other. I counted the coils and everything and marked off where i should lower it to but it still seems crooked. Is there any why to get it perfect? or is there a way to measure the height of each?

help pleeeease!

thanks!

Dont forget if you've got a big ass sub hangin around in the boot it will be off

Ussally the car is set at different heights anyways.. Nose slightly up tail slightly lower.. R34 optimum setup is meant to be 350 front 340 rear from memory (my memory often serves me wrong)

To summerise:

- Make sure car is on level/flat ground.

- Measure height from centre of wheel to arch

- Ideal height for handling is: 350mm @ front, 340mm @ rear

- 1mm adj on coil = 1mm adj in height.

- After each adjustment go for a drive, swerving from side to side, to try and seattle the shocks b4 re-measuring.

- After a few days, re-check the height as the coil-overs would have deffinately settled

The movement/leverage ratios are 1:1 for skylines as the spring/shock unit is connected to the hub and moves vertically (not in an arc or on an angle).

So 5mm movement of spring seat/lower bracket will raise/lower the car 5mm.

Besides that, Al's on the money.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
