Hey just curious

I was thinking instead of buying lowered king springs etc because i want a custom height for my car, of just heating up the springs with an oxy accetelene blow torch.

Ive done this previously on my vn commy couple years back :D

Ive got a r33 series 1 1993 skyline with standard suspension

What do youse think? And im on a very tight budget haha :)

cheers

So you have bought a car that is a nice handling car from factory, built with the right balance and geometry and now you want to butcher it like a pos vn, just remember that anything you do to a vn will make it better but when you already have a good starting base dodgy shit like this is going to take it backwards.

Apparently he wants to die...... Dont be a tight ass buy the springs or just leave it as is.

yeah most stupid idea.. defectable.. dangerous.. messing with things you shouldnt.. sounds like another home modifier... kfc ad with the cardboard bodykit :)

why is it that when ppl get skylines they suddenly hate holdens.. sounds like a case of the sheep to me...

i have been a ford man since dick johnson hit the rock and although i own an R33 i still have an NC fairlane sitting out the back, even when i owned an RX7 i still owned a ford, my loyalty will always lie with ford no matter what i own, have always hated most holdens, the the only ones i dont hate is ht-hg-hk 2 door, lh slr5000 lj 2 door and walkinshaw commodore but i dont like plain vl's.

Oh!..

This is an awesome idea!

I heard Supercheap is having a half price sale on blow torches this week!

Group Buy anyone!?

im in, im too smart to chop my suspension though, have always wanted to see how a 33 would look with a 3" roof chop, do you think i'll need anything more than a chisel to modify the windows?

make sure when you the chop worped that you fabricate a roll bar using pvc and coloured Styrofoam.

OMG that is a FULL SIC idea, and with the left over pvc i can make an intercooler kit, FFUUULLLLYYYY SIICCCCCC

Yeh definately made your point, but when your 18 doing stupid dangerous things doesn't seem to fase most teenagers. Looks like king springs it is.

Lol at GTS4WD's comment

well at least he's not taking the springs out entirely like some morons around here I've seen.

And about the comment on anything making a VN handle better - even a set of standard height King Springs worked wonders on mine so you'd be quite right there, but then when i only had a commo, suspension mods rarely went past superlow's and Monroe shocks lol.

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
