Hi,

i've just a second set of coilover (Juran) and hicas lock bar. Installed both of the the same time yesterday (rear suspenion & hicas lock bar), and when finished and lower back down, the car is siiting higher than stock. The coil over was design to sit 20-25mm lower than stock.

Can someone help to tell me why? Would the hicas lock bar be the cause?

Note i also notice the rear suspension the eyeball, the cyclider sleeve (1 side is flush while on the other side extruded by 5mm or so) - i noticed on the stock the cylinder sleeve extruded both side.

Thanks in advance! :(

They just need adjusting

Did they come with c-spanners?

Grab a c-spanner and rotate the bottom ring that the spring of the coilover is sitting on, put it down about 5cm then move the other ring down and lock them together

Put the car back on the ground and see how its sitting

It doesn't have the ring to adjust the height! and beside the suspension was taking off another r33 and was sitting about 25mm lower than stock! :(

Do you have a pic of the whole coilover or the spring part aswell? It may be circlip adjustable? Also was the car they came off running bigger wheels as it could have made it look lower with the wheels filling the gaurd more etc. Looks extremely high for any aftermarket suspension.

I have just installed the front suspensions, it seems to lowered! :D

for some reasons the rear has lowered to stock height after installed the front! :D

I definately need wheel align as the rear wheels are sitting with zero or positive camber! would this be the cause?

i have also notive the a few grooves below the spring holder/support. Are these the circlip you are talking about?

Thanks

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
