Hi all

Looking at lowering my R34 1.5"

Tempe tyres has quoted 450 to lower with King Springs which should include alignment.

I dont have the time to do it myself, and would like a good job done.

Tempe are charging 400 if done with KMac springs, but Id rather go King.

They are willing to do me a deal if I buy some wheels off them. Unforuntately they havent been able to tell me what kind of deal as it depends on the wheels I want to get.

Any suggestions or ideas about other places in Sydney who can lower my car at a reasonable price??

Thanks

definitely dont go king springs...

coilovers really are the way to go. and youll get so much more handling improvement from coilovers.

youll get used to the loss of ride comfort from coilovers pretty quickly, and then youll smile when your flying through the hills or on a track

Skylines come standard with coil overs, the coil spring goes around the shock.

:P cheers :)

as per our discussions, get some coilovers :( save up a bit more; you won't regret it :)

Skylines come standard with "coil overs", the coil spring goes around the shock.

So are you saying he should stay with the standard "coil overs"?

Or buy aftermarket "coil overs"?

He can't buy aftermarket non coil over suspension, because it wouldn't fit anyway.

So he has to buy "coil overs" of some kind, he doesn't have a choice.

Shoud be buy height adjustable "coil overs"?

On car or off car height adjustable "coil overs"?

What about shock damping?

Adjustable bump?

Adjustable rebound?

Both? Together or separate adjustment?

In cabin adjustable?

Should he buy used $400 "coil overs" or new $10K "coil overs"?

They are all "coil overs".

Telling someone to buy "coil overs" is like saying buy "black tyres".

It doesn't realy help.

:) cheers ;)

LOL...it had to happen sooner or later :)

NA R32s still use wishbone suspension, so yes use coil overs. If you owned an S13, Commodore etc which uses Macpherson struts etc, then the term "buy coil overs" makes a little more sense, but its still like saying, buy an engine for your car, you wont regret it :)

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
