Hey guys. I wanna dump my R32 on its nuts. I have the options of a few springs, and out of the following which would be the lowest...

  • Kings Super Low
  • TIEN
  • Whiteline

Can anyone recommend any springs if the above arent much good? I had H&Rs in my old ride, nice spring, not very low but. I am going to change the shocks sometime before xmas as well. (car is still on a boat).

Thanks guys

Hey guys. I wanna dump my R32 on its nuts.

Shoot, why not save yourself some money and just leave the springs out all together. Sit it on the bump stops, it will be low then. Won't go round corners or accelerated due to lack of traction, loose about 8 rwkw through excessive driveshaft angles, won't stop, chassis will crack around the suspension mounts, can't listen to tunes 'cause the CD will skip all the time and there is plenty of proof that says "low is slow" etc.

But hey, it'll look good.

Seriously, take a look here, there are plenty of tips on what to do with skyline suspension including recommended heights;

We run our 335mm - 345mm, DMS std is 330, Tein is 320... What he said!

So apart form the stupidity of the first post. What experience has everyone had regarding their springs? Im looking at the Tien S-Tech springs.

..if your car doesn't turn up with adjustable coil overs. The springs will be about 7kg front and 5kg rear - (Normal Jap AM) So just wind it down to suit. Because of the ratio 1mm on the shock is about 1.5 on the car

Have a read of this thread, it is full of peoples experiences with different brands of springs and shocks

As TT said it is pretty rare to see an R32 come in with standard suspesnion on it, it may pay to wait until you know what you have got before you buy anything. Research is good though.

can't recommend any springs sorry, i think kings super lows are pretty low but don't know if you can get the tyres sitting up in the guards. here are some pics though of a mates 32 on its sack. has height adj coilovers... Rb20_4valve on these forums.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
