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.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
