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.

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...

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
