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

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
