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...

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
