undo'ing one of the links will take the sway bar out of the equation as it effectively means its just hanging off one side and not under any tension

i have the same problem as you, caused from the same thing (gutter), and unfortunately i know what the problem is.... bent chassis rail :D

anyone know how much it would cost to get it straightened out if i remove all the necessary parts for a panel beater to get to the rail ?! sorry bit off topic..

I'm not sure if this is the same sort of problem, but mine was weird

but when I had the std suspension taken out of my 32 GTST it was leaning to the right. put new shocks and springs in, made the height adjustment and it still didn't help

In the end the guy had to have a custom bracket made up to bring the right side up to the height as the left

i might have to see the guys down at fulcrum ( spelling?). when installing the top arms what would cause one of the bolt holes to be out of alignment? when i put the stock items back in after the adjustable ones died, i put the bolt through the one at the back then tried to put the bolt through the one at the front and it was out by about 5mm. anyone?

ok i know its been awhile but i have been busy. went down to fulcrum this morning and they didn't even pickup on the height difference. and here is the specs sheet they gave me.

There are whole pile of little issues that I can see, not one big one. I have read back through this thread and I can't see the rear height measurements. I know the front is 380/350 (L/R) but what is the rear?

With that information, I will write up what I suggest you do and what settings you need.:)

quick check , have you got the 'a' s on the front upper arms on the outside of the car, the arms only go in one way. Also they have to be torqued up when the car is at normal road height, possibly they may not have tightened one of them properly.

Also is there any packing behind the plates that the top arms mount too - on the body, maybe someone has tried to adjust the camber that way.

no.. i completly took off the adjustable arms and then fitted standard items and there was nothing there.. when the left side went in it didn't line up with the outside bolt, i had to twist the arm to get it to line up.. and yes the arms have the a to the outside of the car

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
