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?

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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
