Hi ppls,

Its time for some suspension work.

Could some one please be so kind as to grab a quick measurement of their R32 that has been fitted with the Whiteline spring/shocker's.

Just the usual center of the wheel to the guard both front and rear.

I really don't want to lower my R32 as I quite like the standard height + it will hopefully deter the boys in blue from hassling me.

Standard height on mine is 370mm for the rear and 365mm for the front.

Whiteline state in their catalogue 350mm for the front and 345mm for the rear.

Rear is lower than the front??? I really don't like the idea of owning a wog (I'm half wog) arse dragging along the ground looking car. (A V8 Statesman young hoon lowered look comes to mind)

These measurements will always be not quite spot on once fitted to the car, I am keen to know if they really are the true measurements.

Thanks peoples.

I suggest you have a close look at your car and you will notice that the front gaurds are cut higher than the rear guards. The angle of the sill determines whether the car is nose up or down, not the centre of wheel to guard measurement. There should be around 10 mm of fall to the front (ie; the sill just behind the front wheel should be 10 mm closer to the ground than the sill just in front of the rear wheel).

Hope that helps :rofl:

Roy, what is that in mm from the centre to the guard? :rant:

Mine looks similar to that. I think mine is 345mm front and 350mm back.

I have no idea what suspension my car has but it doesn't feel right. The ride is not firm at all.

 There should be around 10 mm of fall to the front (ie; the sill just behind the front wheel should be 10 mm closer to the ground than the sill just in front of the rear wheel).

If it's 'fall to the front', shouldn't that be 'the sill behind the front wheel should be 10mm higher than the sill in front of the wheel'. I might be missing something though...

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.

      Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve.

      I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.

      No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
