Hi guys

Did a search couldn't find anything on this, but i lowered my car 3 months ago with the Whiteline Lowered springs, i'm sure there the same as in SK's group buy but i got mine else where.

I noticed the rear sits higher then the front, anyone else experienced this?

I asked a few guys i've met on SAU, there not sure why either.

Any help would be appreciated :D

Cheers,

Pics are below of what i mean:

Get the tape measure out and check it. Should be 350 mm front and 340 mm, rear centre of wheel to guard as usual.

Cheers

Just measured it, its 340mm at front and 360mm at rear

Is that normal?

don't think so .. iirc the rear is 10mm lower from factory so if your front is 340mm rear should be 330mm ?

Edit: oh yeah thanks for ignoring my PMs and every attempt to contact you SydneyKid in regards to my suspension package that I paid for 4 weeks ago. Good too see you're keeping busy answering random questions, but can't spare 30 seconds to let a customer know what is happening with their goods. GRR.

I wouldnt rush out and buy them yet, if they should be 350mm front and 340mm rear and yours is 340mm front and 360mm rear then there is def. something wrong there.

Yeh i figured there might be something wrong, i'll wait for Sk's reply and see what he thinks before going ahead with anything.

Thanks Danny

Check the part numbers stamped on the coils, should be 23175 on the front and 23176 on the rear.

Hey Gary

I just checked the part numbers just now, they are:

Fronts are23175 as u said.

Rears are 23139, does that mean they have me incorrect rear springs?

What rear springs are they then?

Man i dont know.....its been like 6 months now since i purchased them.

Don't think i can get them to give me the correct ones, if they turn out to be the incorrect springs i might just buy a pair for rears....

I'll just wait for gary's reply and see what he says

Hi guys i need some help with this, i did my research and found that the rear pair are actually for an R33 not R34. My front are correct.

Now whats the chances of me getting the correct ones replaced by the store i bought it from? i know its been awhile since i had them, bought them in january and fitted them in may.

I just want to know if were to go back an explain the situation to them would they be willing to give me the right ones?

Its probably not a good chance, but i just want to know if i was entitled as a customer to get the correct parts after so long.

I would ahve done it earlier if i knew the parts were incorrect, but wasnt until i fitted them and let them set in before i noticed they were still sitting higher then the front.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
