datsunfreak Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I've seen one lowered..(I'll have to find it later) But no clue as to how it was lowered All the rest have stock ride height. This one? Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 This one? Yah that one.... I believe it was photoshopped...with a static drop and ALL that front over hang....it would be almost impossible to get into ANY driveway. His other pics are not that low. He said he lowered it on blocks...but its not as easy as throwing blocks on a transverse leaf susp....so BS? I even asked him how it was done....no response. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 I believe it was photoshopped...with a static drop and ALL that front over hang... My guess is not photoshop. I think he took the springs out and snapped a photo, then put them back in. :P it would be almost impossible to get into ANY driveway. That's why the pics were taken on the street. ;) Would love to see one lowered though. Thinking air ride is the only way to make it low and driveable. Quote Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Cute pups :) Looks like there are a couple leaves in the spring pack. Maybe pulling a couple could give you a bit of drop? Quote Link to comment

Maybe pulling a couple could give you a bit of drop? Thanks! Maybe do the traditional flip one leaf out of the pack? I think I MIGHT take the air bag approach so that I can drive comfortably and DUMP it while parked :P Quote Link to comment

gokiburix Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 here are a few pics of the interior of my vanette: took these during lunch...will take better pics when I get a chance. -goki Quote Link to comment
Stupid_fast Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh man that is cool, I want one now! Looks like there is a good amount of leg room? Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 oh did you want leg room....? ... how about a bed? :lol: hahahah Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Here are some updated pics and interior shots: The stock steering wheel was already gross...it was wrapped with electrical tape then covered with an equally gross wheel cover. So I stuck a grant wheel on there. Will probably upgrade it later on...I have a few Nardi wheels laying around. Here's my hood propped up: Dual A/C and Heat controls....I have 'em: Twin captain's chairs: Rear bench down and a captain's chair down in bed mode: -goki Quote Link to comment

NiiChan GT-R Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yet more inspiration... If you own a van, you have to do all the stuff you can't with a car, to make it a VAN :D Quote Link to comment

I actually spoke to Ivan (who has the van now)....he lowered it a bit. I'm still a bit hesitant on doing a static drop...that over hang still scrapes on the stupidest places....and it's not even lowered <_< Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Mom-in-law owns an organic cleaning supply company in Japan and had me try out one of the products before releasing them...this is the result. It was pretty caked on with oil and grease but very little elbow grease was used. I was really surprised. Quote Link to comment
greengoon Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^^That's impressive! Quote Link to comment
gokiburix Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 ^^That's impressive! I thought so too! I only used a shop rag...no brushes or anything...and the kicker is I diluted it 1:1 water and still was ridiculously easy to just wipe off. No harsh chemicals...all organic too. I'm gonna find a real dirty/greasy spot and take a video of it. Quote Link to comment
