because of too many troubles with regency and driveways i decided to buy brand new stock height springs... my r32 already has original stock springs but over 18 years they somehow managed to sink below legal limit and any second hand ones i found were also low and uneven...

i got them made at alloy industrial springs on port rd and got them installed this week for regency... my mechanic installed the front ones but he said the rear ones they gave me are too wide on the top where the strut mount goes... so i went back and told them they gave me wrong springs, but they said they are correct according to their specs... my shocks have same dimensions and stock ones so that's not the problem...

so now i cant be sure whos right...

my mechanic said that rear springs for r32 are exactly same as for s13...

here are the specs i got from adl industrial springs:

R32 rear springs:

1st end - 98mm (inside diameter)

2nd end - 78mm (inside diameter)

S13 rear springs:

1st end - 90mm (inside diameter)

2nd end - 80mm (inside diameter)

can anyone confirm these details for me?

oh and yea... one more q - i got the new stock spring in the front of my car and it looks like a fkn big foot there lol... i can fit 4 fingers between tyre and wheel arch.. apparently they are going to come down a bit after a while... can i expect much?

let me know if ur keen on them, save urself a bit of $$ buying these and a pair of newies for the front.

also interested in ur stock suspension if u still have it, maybe stike up a trade?

  • 1 month later...

so i dont start another topic... i finally had a chance to put rear king springs in...

the inside diameter is same as at stockies, but they are thicker so they sit a bit funny on top mounts, slightly over edge... just wanna make sure that this looks right:

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
