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,

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
