Hey guys and girls,

I introduced myself and my car a couple of months ago, well im back i need some help desperately. After spending $2,600 on a full major service and a brand new exhaust i have run out of money to get my car raised up...(and for the record im not asking for money) I have Tien HR in my skyline, and i was wondering in this whole forum if there is some1 with keys for the Tiens, and some guys, or girls who are willing to help me this weekend to raise my car up (prefure some people who have done this before because i have not a clue what im doing).

Please Guys and Girls if i could get 2 people to help this weekend, and a set of key i could borrow that would be awsome...

I hope i can get some intrest in people who are willing to help...

Please if u could lend me a hand this weekend please send me a pm.

Best Regards, Vlad

I've got the 'C' spanners, but I'm not coming to ACT this weekend, sorry.

If someone I know gets in touch, I can send them - best i can do.

that would be awsome now i just need some guys to help with the raising, lol

If only i could find my spanners i would give it to you.

Its pretty simple easy to raise the suspension, just hard work thats all.

If you have spring compressors, that would help alot too. Basically you just unlock the bottom plate and then wind the upper plate to your desired height and then lock the bottom plate again. Also the spanners have a little square on the end, which is designed to fit in a 1/2" ratchet/breaker bar for more leverage.

Hope that helps.

i called up one of the places here in canberra but they said 300 and thast if the coils arent jammed, if they are ill looking for per hour labour, so thatw why im trying to see if i can get some guys together to give me a hand....

Coils on them shouldn't be jammed as i only got the shockers 6 months ago, threads didn't have rust either.. just use some wd40 and she'll be fine.

It's easy to do Vlad, just jack her up and you'll get what i mean. Your a strong boy, sure u can do it...just get some spring compressors and its easy as.

If u need any more help, give me a call. :)

Spring compressors you say, im just scared that the car might fall while i got it up with no wheel on.... and i would be much more comfortable with some1 who has done this before there just so at keast they know whats going on lol

ay mate, i have the same suspention, i had a lot of trouble getting mine raised pedders broke mine, just be really gental and dont force things abruptly, sure use a lot of force but apply it gradually is my 2c.

thanx thats one definitely to keep in mind... lol

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
