Hi all,

Looking to lower my 33 (gtst), has RG (JTC N1 DAMPER) coilovers, which are height adjustable in both the body and the spring platform.

Does anyone if it's easy to do, and what is needed to get it done? I would take it to a suspensionist but before i do would be

sweet to find out how it works.

Any info appreciated

Cheers.

they have already been fitted to my car (came with it when purchased), just want to lower ride height (as its a 4x4 at the moment).

Have been told there are some tools which come with a set of coilovers so that they can be adjusted, this i dont have.

I've been wanting to do this as well

Got to stop being lazy and come up and see u and obtain one of these C spanners...

Though i remember u said we have to get a wheel alignment after we change it?

Youll need 2 C Spanners which i have :down:

Yeah after changing the height, it will need to be realigned :(

ok here's what you do

obtain c spanners from somewhere.

jack up car.

get under car.

get dirty.

try to work out c spanners.

measure up ride height.

change ride height.

possibly cut your hands if you forgot to put gloves on.

swear.

give up halfway thru.

get a passiona.

sit on couch.

wait for it to get dark.

try again.

give up again.

swear.

go to bed.

get up for work the enxt morning and realise u don't have a car to get to work in and it's all your own fault.

take a day off work to fix the mess you made.

realise overnight someone nicked your c spanners.

swear.

go on forum and make thread asking for more c spanners.

wait.

swear.

wait.

wish you never started it.

OR...

pick up phone.

call a suspension shop.

pay them to do it.

be happy and stress free with lowered and aligned and wheel balanced car.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
