G'day all,

Im gonna put some new springs on my car this weekend, just wouldnt mind some feedback from other people on how low I should go. Im considering putting these 50mm lowered king springs in cos I can get em cheap. I have heard that lowering skylines affect rear neg camber angles significantly but Im more worried about my exhaust scraping.

Any thoughts and pictures would be appreciated.

:headspin: ;) :headspin:

Technically in NSW legally all parts of the car other than the wheel+tyres need to be atleast 100mm off the ground.

As for everything go stupid - my muffler isn't attached properly so if I scrape it lightly = no worries. *wink*

Thanks for the response, do you know how much your car has been lowered?

:headspin:

my car has been lowered 2 inches front and back. The back sits just above the tyre which is how i want it and the front is a little lower (right on tyre) due to extra weight from engine i assume.

I would of liked the front to be a little bit higher now but im too lazy to raise it. If i were going to lower a skyline now i would probably go 1.5inches front and back.

so your planning to drop it 50mm, i wouldnt go any lower if i were you but thats just my opinion.

I have King lows in mine now and it's fine. Way more than 100mm from the ground, my massive exhaust never scrapes.

I think any lower than their 'low' springs is starting to get a bit low though - i.e. super low, super super low, ultra low.

    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
    • It's TWO steering wheels actually. 😛 one for each hand They are wheels, and they steer!
