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:

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
