Currently, my r32 is stock height and for a while ive been wanting it to lower the car. Well, over the past few days, ive been calling up a few places and ive been told that you cant get SuperLow springs for a r32 skyline gts-t. Is this true?

Both jax and pedders told me they can only do a 30mm drop, which isnt much. Where can i go lower? here is a pic of my car...

or take it to a mechanic and get them to lower it for you

Their is no superlow or ultra low king springs for ANY nissan car, check out the cataloge yourself. Why is this???

page 19, Nissan skyline R32 - KDFL-101 fronts & KDRL-102 rear

not sure why its comming up as not having any

or as i said in my previous post, speak to a mechanic and see what they can get

i was talking about the 2009 king spring super/ultra low catalogue. Heres the link:

http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/Ki...ue%20040203.pdf

only 4 pages, where did you get page 19 from?

but if your trying to drop down that far, why dont you get coilovers?

i dare say you'll end up farking your struts lowering that much on the street

Dude are you aware of all the bad stuff that happens when you lower alot?

- smashed up shocks (check out SKs thread)

- you wont be able to align it usefully anymore so your tyre life is down the toilet (unless you shell out on adjustable bushes/arms)

- handling stuffed

The above statements are oversimplified - just do your homework :)

what are you talking about??

you get MUCH better handling if your lower your car, springs or coilovers... you got a GTR but u got the intellect of a honda ricer. Oh, and about the smashed up shocks? Yeh, maybe in 20 years my shocks will go :)

LOL mate he's right. Seems that you are the Honda ricer. It's common knowledge superlows on stock shocks handle like absolute shit. Do ur research.

eventually

thats why if u went coilovers, both strut & springs are designed for that sort of punishment,

stock suspension is designed for pure stock standards (as far as ride height goes) when you go lowering it, like whats said above, you'll be having all sorts of problems

just go coilovers

honestly man, coilovers cost too much. A set of used ones will cost me about $1000+. Also, im not trying to turn my skyline into a track car.

true about coilovers being pricey, but you can still get street ridable coilovers (they arent just for track) all depends on the spring rate/tube design

say you spend 300 on springs (if you can find king springs), + the labour to fit them might take it up somewhere around 600-700 (not sure on what sydney prices are for labour) then once your struts have a blow out & the other associated problems that go along with it, then replace your struts & fix those associated problems.. you're up near the 1000-1500 mark (labour inclusive)

to give you an idea - i was quoted 1200-1300 for king springs (30mm) & new struts fitted, for something that would have been a medioca ride, the same place suggested a set of coilovers they would do for 1600-1700 fitted - this is on a 4 door R33, basically told them i wanted the ride as comfortable as possible while still being able to drop the car and not have it bottom out over every shit peice of road up here in brisbane

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
