I am currently at 101mm (just passed legal) = crap

Ill be honest its pathetic.

You look like a clown trying to get up any drive way.

And the massivest angle over speed humps wont make you look any less gay.

There is a thred somewhere about the idea height for skylines. 150 somthing??by memory.

Maybe do a quick search.

=)

Mine sits 120mm at the lowest point (cat converter) and 130mm is the next at the front bar. I only have trouble getting into really sharp sorts of driveways where the bar scrapes, but even then taking them at an angle generally goes OK. So 90% of my driving is hassle free if that's any help?

my front bar sits at about 98mm off the deck.. it's a bit of a drama with driveways and speed bumps but it only gets driven on weekends and i choose carefully where it goes.. As a daily this would be too low for me especially in mackay lol..

Cheers Matt

bumpsteer ... pfft its not good but as hamish said coiloverds dont have much travel and the low ass height they dont move at all, + having a roll cage makes it way harder again so u definately feel it haha.

but thats what sports cars are about

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
