Hello, hope you can help, I have R33 GTST with HKS coilovers. The driver side sits about 20mm lower than the passenger side. I have removed the coilovers to check they are the same height sides, also swapped the coilovers left to right and the same side is lower. So I assume my coilovers are fine. What could be causing this issue? Car alignment was done a while ago. Thanks

It isn't really normal to have coilovers at the same seat height to achieve an even ride height, particularly if you are measuring height with a driver on board (as there generally is when the car is moving).  After a corner weighting process where the ride height with driver is set reasonably even on the diagonals for best balance, the uncompressed spring ride heights are often very different.

Thanks for your reply, I understand the extra weight of the driver, but the skyline should be well balanced without the driver with even coilovers. But the drive side is 20mm lower regardless of which coil over I out in. This should be higher to account for the extra  driver not lower.

      This sounds like someone who would have owned an R33 in their past... It's okay, I'm 100% picking up what you're putting down Mark.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just back on what was raised about jacking off the the tow/tie down point on the front of cars. I've used it plenty. I've also watched it on a car where you could see it move the front end of the car. It was like the front end/whole car being tweaked and twisted a bit. I will say, I struggle to find good jacking points on MOST cars. The ones that have good points, I then normally struggle to find a jack tall enough to make the car change height!   One of my go to points for either the jack, or the axel stands though, is either a suspension pickup point, OR a subframe to chassis major bolting point. I actually think its the subframe on my R33 that has a bit of a bend in it, from being jacked in the middle too. However, it could have been one of my many other cars I've had over the years! Or it could also be the from me jacking it up, and the fact the top of the front radiator support isn't there, so it can allow the front of the car to move and bend etc.

      My apologies. I forgot we were talking about weird beard M series stuff. Had been talking elsewhere with someone about an R33 with similar subject and got confused.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
