Hey guys so i recently put some coilovers on my skyline v36 370gt and its quite low i have trouble getting over speed bumps but i can sideways crawl over them but today i tried driving up my Dads driveway but it literally could not get up whatsoever even if i drove sideways up it does anyone have any suggestions? Ive heard about putting planks down but i have no idea what to do? Hopefully someone can help me out here. Thanks guys. ive also attatched some images to give a better understanding of my dilemma.

Seriously though, you could try reversing in, I have this issue at my mum's place which has the usual 45/60 degree gutter, can't go in front ways, but reversing up is fine, it would be much more severe than what that your dad's looks like

2 pieces of 4mm steel plate about 600 long, with some 25mm square bar welded across the underside half way along.  Use them as ramps, with the square bar located across the bottom of the slope to fill the gap between the plate and the concrete.

If that doesn't work, adjust length of plate or thickness of bar upwards, as required.

Or, put coilovers up to practical height.

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
