my drive way sux

its steepish, onto a busy road on a corner, behind a power pole

i often sit there for 5 minutes waiting for a break in traffic

my front bar has no paint on its bottom either

as u guys have said before who knows what the logic is about reversing into the driveway but i do that all the time and my car doesnt scrap then, if i was to go straight in it scraps, as i cant go in at an angle cause the driveway is just perfect fit for my car dam small driveway

The first time the same day I bought my car i tried to get it up my driveway I cracked the front bar and got the car stuck on my driveway and my dad had to come lift the front of the car while i reversed.

The car was so low that I had to install new springs to enable me to get up the driveway at all.

My previous car which was a 250cu TE Cortina which has compressed and cut springs would smach the extractors everytime on the way in and out the driveway and made that part of the extractor flat underneath. I didnt really car on that car as it a shitter anyway

  • 2 months later...

mine used to be fine, 'till the next door neighbour had a bitch to the council about a bit of a puddle that built up in front of his driveway when it rained (and it wasnt even a lot of water, and wasnt on his grass or anything)

so they came in, tore up the end of the court( my house is at the very bottom of the court) and re layed it to fix his little water issue

in the process of fixing his tiny issue, they managed to destroy ours, and the other next doors driveways, so now they are like \/ that as well....cant wait till i get the skyline...my TX5 is on superlows, and gets in if i go extremely slow, but it has no body kit so yeah

it has cracked the front bar of my cousins VX clubsport, and almost did the same to his brothers VX Club.

not nice

Here's my driveway drama...this is how I get in my single car garage...coming out you have to reverse the other way and it just scrapes slightly...dying to lower the car but pretty much impossible at the moment unless maybe I remove my front lip??? or airbag suspension!! :( Live in a complex so body corp is very anal about foreign objects left outside in the driveway eg: ramps, planks etc... :P

I just moved to a new place.

and i love my driveway!

every car we own gets in and out without any dramas!

first house I have lived in where I can get my cars in and out with out having to go really really slow and sideways, or in reveres!

im loving it :huh:

sorry for the brag. but yeah I love it

hey guys

i know this may be abit off topic but i got an r33 with stock wheels and suspension and was thinking of getting a nismo 400r front bar but im afraid its gonna be too low for everyday driving plus my driveway sux

i was wondering if anyone knew how much clearance i would have from the front bar and the ground

thanks

I scrape near my cat every time i go in and out.

I had to adjust my rear suspension higher just so i could get it down.

I have no idea how I can get it fixed.

I doubt the council will do anything as the path has no problems.

I doubt my land son of rajab will rip up their driveway just so my lowered car doesntg scrape.

    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )
    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
