I have a set of Apexi N1's in my R32. When I bought the car they were wound up pretty high (not much lower then stock height). After wounding them down to the lowest setting (around 90 - 95mm ground clearance) I have found the springs don't seem to be long enough :D

If I jack the car up, there is about 1 inch of space between the springs its self, and the top of the strut. And when on rough/bumpy rounds, you can hear the springs jumping around as the wheels are moved up an down by the bumps. Even just going up my drive way can cause this to happen :Oops:

I've been told 1) my springs are cut (which they aren’t)

Or 2) my coilovers need to be rebuilt, but they don’t leak any oil.

I can’t really explain any better, but if I can find a jack, that’ll fit under my car, I will take pics.

Cheers.

Hi Josh, you have lowered the car below that which Apexi designed the coils to handle. The measurement from the centre of the wheel to the guard verticaly should be not less than 345mm.

:D

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
