My Solution For My Car Being To Low...

So after my car was lowered (Still over 10cm off the ground) I had trouble getting my jack under the car in the front to jack it up.

I had a look and there was only 2 options, one was to get the low profile ramps but that was going to cost around $100 the other was to get someone to cut me some planks of wood into ramps.

I did not want Planks of wood in the boot of my car so I ened up with these:

Anyways I guess this may not be the solution for everyone but for the few people that may also be looking into a solution I thought I would share.

Paul.

How low is your car? They've fit under all mine. Where are you jacking from?

Must be doing something wrong man!

Doesn't fit under the side of my car lol. I can't fit my iPhone4 between my front bumper and the ground :P

Fits under the diff at the back but no room to jack it up, have to drive up onto chocks.

Really? Is that your truck-spec 34 in your sig? I joke I joke :P

Doesn't look as good but it was stupid before. Lowered it for a car show and couldn't be bothered raising it up again after. It used to scrape if I went around a corner too fast confused.gif

Oh trust me, I cop it from all sides for that.

Obviously I was being sarcastic though, I'm pretty damn impressed with that clearance.

What suspension have you got under that thing?

Haha yeh all good mate, was just joking :P

I've got the BC Racing BR series coilovers on it. The front ones were maxed out before, the rear could still go another 60-70mm lower blink.gif Am much happier with the current clearance though, can actually drive it properly.

BC's, good for low thumbsup.gif

Did the install on mine at home, front's first got them pretty low, then the rears, was a little drunk by then and they got wound ALL the way down, just to see what they looked like. Looked boss but clunked and scraped on every little bump or loose piece of gravel on the road so they did eventually come up some.

But damn it did look good.

The 33's must be a lot different to the 34's then, there is no way in hell that the rears could go all the way down on my car without a lot of modification. Now that I think about it, the rears must have a lot more than 60-70mm still to go because the upper control arm assembly was coming into contact with the inner guard and wheel with at least 70mm of thread to go.

It was on 19's at the time, I'm not sure it would go all the way down on 17's and you can't wind them collar to collar, they stop winding before the thread does, I think to get them lower than that you need to shorten stroke length from the top.

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate

      R34 Manual conversion Speedometer

      He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.

      Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
