100mm from ground to lowest point of the car is the minimum.

Some tester would fail a car with adjustable suspension cos you can adjust the height at any given time.

Pain in the ass really.

From what I've heard you can have adjustable suspension aslong as it can't be adjusted below 100mm at the lowest point, so you can put a couple of tack welds on the thread on the coilies to stop the rings being able to be adjusted below that point.

That being said I doubt you would wanna do that to your coilovers.

How are they gonna know if it's below 100mm at the lowest point? They aren't gonna pull off your wheels and adjust it with some forks to find out...

I passed in RWC with coilovers, they aren't illegal, having your car lower than the legal limit is.

where abouts did you get it done if you dont mind me askng? might try out that place

and since when are coilovers illegal modifications? arnt they ment to be better for your car
Apparently, you're not aloud to adjust the ride height.
Fk the coilovers one is a pain in the ass

Pretty sure coils are a no no I passed with coils in having said that

Last time i got dicked was for being too low, spoke to the guy whilst he did the rwc and asked him about adjustable coil overs and how much suspension travel is legal, was told it does not matter if there adjustable and the only rule for travel was that there needs to be some lol, mine is pretty stiff and he had no issues with it, unfortunately he does not do rwc's much any more he just does import compliancing.

And as everyone else stated, getting a dodgey is extremely hard these days, gotta know someone, and if some one does know someone there not passing it onto a random on a forum.

umm since when are coilovers illegal? Considering that 'coilovers' is just a fancy name for spring and shock absorbers, sounds a lot like hearsay to me unless someone can prove otherwise.

No mention of coilovers in this document, just keep it at the legal height and you will be fine.

this is from someone who does rwc..

"coilovers are acceptable but there base height ajustability cannot be below minimum clearence ie: 110mm , they also have to have soild tops no camber or castor adjustability is allowed and to top is all off no pillow ball mounts or dampning adjusters... and the spring rates must be to oem standards

lol it pretty much excludes 99.9% of coils"

lol well i failed my roadworthy cause of the coilovers and couple of other little things like pod filter not secured and things like that. didnt make sense to me cause i have a locked diff and they said nothing about that ;/

hmm fair nuff. Majority of skyline coilovers dont have camber, castor or pillow ball mounts however can be adjusted below 100mm. Cant seem to find any documents saying that adjustibility to 100mm is illegal. Just says not to go below it... I'd ask the roadworthy guy to show some documents stating the law regarding coilover suspension...

they're not going to open up your diff housing to find out you have a locked diff.

you can hear it though and feel it when they take it for a test drive lol, i just dropped it off at another place today wish me luck :banana:

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
