Ive heard Northshore do one of the cleanest compliance jobs, unfortunately mine wasn't done by them. Cam, I have worked out it was the silicone blocking the drain lip that caused the water ingress, al

the rear spring seat is threaded for spring pre-load, and the damper also has a threaded base for height adjustment.

same as the front, but in seperate areas. works the same way though

Why thank you...

Mine came with Impul springs but with the Impul kit its super low and there is no way i will get through the ID check with it as it is...

Any idea what the cm drop from standard the impuls provide? I have a set of s-tune springs you could borrow if necessary, they drop the car 2cm from standard I think.

Low. Top of tyre to edge of guard is about 15-20mm max.

SA reg doesn't go on tyre to guard distance though does it? It goes on lowest point to ground?

Well they have a concrete block you have to drive over when over the pit at regency but I'm sure they would pull out the ruler if need be.

As for the ID check, they don't measure at all but if it looks too low they won't pass it and you will have to come back. No fine but just the hassle.

Its going to be a hassle either way. Isn't it less hassle to just present and fix it if it gets rejected?

Who did compliance? I thought anything that didn't meet ADRs had to be removed at compliance, hence all the good stuff usually got stripped?

Parts were removed for compliance and re fitted after.

Purchased the car through Chef, compliance work done by japlink.

I will prob go down and see how I go but like to be prepared as far as being able to swap what ever I need to get it through. May just go down the road of coilovers now, was going to be an eventual mod but would have preferred getting my 19's first :)

It's really up to the workshop when it comes to aftermarket parts, if they choose to put them back then it's a win for you. I had the benefit of knowing what was on the car before shipping so parts had to be put back.

yup i would guess about 30-40mm above standard and about 60-80mm below lol

i might be exaggerating that, but there is PLENTY of adjustment, front and rear

When I enquired with Just Jap they didnt believe they could get it to above stock height - they thought they could get JUST to stock height.. but no higher. They, apparently, asked the workshop next to them who fitted the BC's to their workshop/demo car and that was what they thought also. I are teh confused.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
