After 2 years of waiting and stockpiling parts, redid most of the suspension setup (Coils, arms, braces, swaybars, endlinks, bushings, wheels, tyres, rotors, lines, pads) for the skyline coupe W

Mayo, you say you don't want too low, and then say a 1"-2" drop is nice. Let me guarantee you that if you have crap roads like we do here in Adelaide, then a 2" drop is WAY too much and you will bottom out your front bar lip (if you have a Nismo copy one like mine) and exhaust on everything. I am so jacked off at my springs that I am going to go back to 350Z springs when I come across some.

I wasn't to sure how much drop I would get with some of the set ups I was looking at. So the 1-2 inch drop was a guesstimate. I don't want to go back breaking low, so if you say 2" is like that then I will take your word for it and aim a little higher (pun intended.lol). Like the 350Z springs you also have your eye put for. Thanks for the advice.

Precicely why i'm only going for a 1.1'' drop, roads in this town are disgusting. Pot holes the size of the road. I think the car is low enough from stock, but since i'm putting 20's and shit i need to go lower to avoid 4x4 spec.

Tyler- I reckon you should get some Eibach pro kits, 1.1'' would be a nice drop. I know a bloke in the states with the same wheel + tyre specs and same springs as me and it looks perfect not crazy low but not 4x4 spec.

I think I was just lucky to come across this. I had been looking for like 6months. Grade 5 import made it a done deal.

Thanks guys for all the kind words and advice

Cool cool, i've been thinking about getting one but i don't think i can justify the $300 odd for something i would hardly use. My mates got one and he brings it along to all our cruises and it's really impressive the quality that comes from such a small recording device!

Agree Sean thats why i borrowed this one, the quality of the video is awesome. Next time i'll mount it on the inside of the windscreen to reduce wind noise and hear the full roar of my intake better :yes:

Haha true, yeah my buddy always has one on his Midnight purple R34 GTR (sex on wheels) he loves it but the down side is apparently it takes ages to upload the footage. But damn it's good quality and it's cool seeing our cars from different perspectives.

I've got Eibach pro kits waiting to go on 1.1'' drop all round which will be perfect for me as a daily drive. S-Techs i think go lower to a 1.5'' drop roughly same price. I am investing in coils soon though.

^ what he said about S.Tech haha,I have that on mine and can't go over a speedbump straight on,need to take it on an angle =P.

This is my opinion but if your going to lower it is a distance that is noticeable. Spend all that money for a 1/2inch drop is a waste and poi tless too.

I don't think $220 for a set of springs that will drop me 1.1'' all round is a waste of money, particularly how bad the roads are up here. If i were to drop it anymore i'd have to start buying a bunch of front bumpers so i can replace it every time i destroy one on a driveway//normal bit of road..

Also the fact that i know 1.1'' is a nice drop and has a little bit of wheel gap.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
