I'm in the process of trying to get my 1994 R33 lowered and just wanted to know how low some other people have gone. I want to take it down 3inches, and was planning on just getting new heavy duty springs. Has anyone out there been through this process and if so how low did they go?

My car is basically in stock guise, but it is registered in another state so i'm hoping that i should be able to talk my way out of the 100mm rule. Any help or thoughts with this issue would be great.

Why do you wanna scrape the crap out of your car? Mine is at the minimum height and looks great, I don't know why you'd want to go much lower. A place will lower it is low as you want generally, but they'll take no responsibility if you get caught by the cops.

sweetr33 obviously likes spending $1000 for new tyres each year..

Also watch out for camber problems if you lower it too low on just standard lowered springs and shocks. Some coilovers have built in adjustment for camber to fix the camber probs you might encounter.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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.

      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
