I would like to find out who has the lowest/slammed "static" ie coilovers V35 coupe or sedan. So how i rekon a good way to measure is not on how low is the lowest point but something else. So find the middle pf your front wheel arch up the top and measure from that to the ground.

Honest answers to, with no one in the car or anything like that. K go

i assume you're limiting this to australia; if so I'm pretty sure this will be the winner.

It's on bags - but in terms of 'how low can you go' - this is how low.

In terms of how low you can go and keep your sanity - i reckon the answer is 'NOT VERY' - i'm on H-tech's - which are about 15mm lower than stock - I've got 120mm of clearance at the flex pipes on the exhaust and I still catch the exhaust on a few car park humps. Stupid long wheel base means these things suck to drive low.

Hey Mat, you know that's for sale? It's still on CarSales, i think he's asking about 50k and my god it's tidy!

But in terms of low, i'm on Eibach Pro Kits 1.1'' drop front and back and it's plenty low enough for me, every driveway has to be taken on a crazy angle and i've got to be much more careful than i was at stock height.

120mm.....come on im talking low really low not 15mm lower than factory height.

Howanainto - I know i'm not low. Just pointing out that these cars are terrible for lowering - while they look great low, from a daily driver perpective I'd rather preseve my $2k exhaust than get rep points from the hellaflush crowd......I wish I could afford bags.

Seano - yeh I had seen that for sale. It looks bewdiful!

This one is pretty low:

This is how low mine was before i took it off the road, also on 19's.

Drove it everyday like this for about a year or so.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
