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.

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.

    • haha don't worry I'm sue you've got more fun ahead buying a 30 year old turbo car....but at least you are in the right place to ask
    • some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side
    • It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers
    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
