How low is your DD? - Page 47 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

nismo racer · 02-17-2010, 09:45 PM

Where I've been? I've been here, i've posted in here several times. Like I said before, no need to get flustered about me saying something but thank you for thinking my car is neat.

In a perfect world, all cars would be slammed with awesome wheels. That's a world I wana live in. Let's see some more slammed dailies please!

Now i'm not claiming i have or had the lowest anything. but i know for a fact that you don't. To be frank your car is not low. its at a decent height and looks good. but if one thing stands out about the car its not the lack of ground clearance.

udon! · 02-17-2010, 09:58 PM

is it just me or does the fastback chassis sit lower than the coupe?

because it seems like the coupes can go lower for some reason.

pbm coils fronts have 2 collars removed and bracket flipped, rears set as low as they go. Thinking about getting smaller springs and going lower... prolly not gonna happen tho.
wheels are advan rgII wheels 18x9+22 with 215/35/18 and 18x10+25 with 225/40/18

Somebody should donate me a slamburglars sticker for this thing... a big one... lol

Do you have any pics of your whole car that low? Anybody can go into their garage and take pics of their cars framerails and inch off of the ground. Just sayin.

Ayuaddict, yes your car was lower than his. Although i don't see how anybody can say that his car isn't low. If his car isnt low then what is?

franklin93zx · 02-17-2010, 10:59 PM

I don't recall it being a competition.... I thought it was just a thread showing pics of the stance of your DD

firelizard · 02-17-2010, 11:57 PM

The guy a couple pages ago asking why we can't section the frame rails... good point. I wonder why we can't? Since mine need to be replaced anyways, this is very intriguing.

Anyways, I love this thread and I miss my old daily, and I haven't posted it in here yet.

I had to raise it ~5-8mm in the front to be able to turn the wheels at all. I need 175s on those wheels (7") rather than 195. The rear was rubbing the inner wheel well, hence the rake. Such a pain to try and get this car low, I'm looking forward to trying it with my 240SX this summer.

I stand by my statement, however i probably should have said "by today's standards". as i explained to him, it was probably his statement that it was "the lowest S13 on 17s to date" that got my attention.

mothon · 02-18-2010, 12:35 AM

My current DD

I had to DD my "track car" for a couple months and it was horrible, I ran over the front lip twice and couldn't drive it around OKC for the most part. Had to take my girlfriends car everywhere.

LOL i have ran over my lip so many times! Usually its when i was in a hurry backing out of my driveway. Then i would go foward and feel the bump. Its kinda embarrasing. I live on a pretty busy street, I would have to hit the hazards and go nab it before someone else hit it.

More pics would be awesome.

NMs14.5kouki · 02-18-2010, 09:54 PM

some more pics of my car! its temporarily coming apart (oil leak) btw I SUCK at taking pictures, if anyone would like more i can take some, hopefully better ones too. I still have to adjust the alignment as well! And prolly space out the rear wheels.

TrustS13 · 02-18-2010, 10:29 PM

I think tucking past the tire to the rim looks like shit

yea would look better if it didnt have overs.

ayuaddict · 02-19-2010, 06:19 AM

I think it looks awesome!

maybe a little less camber or a spacer. thought.

thanks man... Im going to adjust camber to around 1-1.5 and see how it sits, and add spacers as needed.

the overs were put on there cuz its gonna be a grip/drift car, i couldn't fit a 275/35 on there without issues of it rubbing the fender, couldn't pull/roll it enough either. I only slammed it like this for fun and to say i did it, it looks a lot better in person than that of the pictures.

Yeah roll it out of the garage and take a few whole-car shots (if possible). I'd like to see them.

Ahh i knew someone would just have to make a statement like that. Did i say my car isnt lowered? No. Did i say i dont scrape on those roads? No. I did comment about that individual car though because the frame is about 1/1/2 inches off the ground. Our construction/road transitions are higher than that. It just made me think about how bad that car would get owned. You cant do anything on a 3 lane highway to avoid a nasty higher road transition. Its a oil pan, frame owning diaster for a car that low.

Yes i hate that same statement when applied to someone that is ridiculously high and uses it to makes negative statements on low cars as well, but this isnt that case.
