Well i have a 1989 r32 gts which has an electronic front lowering lip except it doesnt lower!!!. Its quite strange because when i press the down button i can hear some mechanical crap going on but its not actually lowering.

Today i discovered that if i unplug the left side hydralic you cant hear anything going on at all where as if i unplug the right side you can still hear the left. So im assuming the left side wants to do something but the right is buggered.

Could it be the electrics or the actual hydraulic motor thingo. Has this happened to anyone??

Cheers.

ok stop right there. it's not strange. your car is almost 20 years old. and so is that spoiler.. but do go on...

because when i press the down button i can hear some mechanical crap going on but its not actually lowering.

it goes down at 80-100km/h apparently, so take the car on the freeway, with a friend, get upto speed and tell your friend to hold the wheel while you get out n check.. =D

in all seriousness i would say itd be hydraulic motor, on the left, because it's getting a response in the electrical sense, but on the right side, could be electrical or both... because it's getting neither response from what you're saying

What would you be willing to pay for said motor? They are pretty weighty though, postage would suck.

Yeah i would be looking for a pickup job i spose. thanks anyway!

I haven never seen one post a pic of it :P

lol, yeah i will be first thing tommorro.... so keep your foreskin peeled... i mean eyes!

My Car;

The spoiler pops down at 80km/h.

The Down button will only work if you have the park-brake engaged.

But you said you can hear it making noises as you press the button, so you would have the park-brake pulled up already..

lol i watched that on youtube yesterday. Yeah i have tried the down button with park brake both on and off. Also it makes a sound everytime i take the handbrake off. does yours?

if the spoiler is down and the hand-brake is taken off, the spoiler automatically pops back up. Hence why you hear noises

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
