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?

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:

it seems alright when driving, no funny noises etc

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
