Got Camber kit put in and wheel balance&alignment

Note: It took them 4 hrs and mega headaches to get the camber kit in... big big job.

Camber fixed i think

Rear Camber

from: -0.54' Left and -1.25' Right

to -0.46 both sides

Front Camber

from: -1.45' Left and -1.35' Right

to: 1.38' Left to -1.27' Right

Front inners were so warn down , will the current camber settings fix this?

BTW I still get shudder at 80km/hr :D..... what else would cause this, im sure they did a wheel balance.

hmm maybe they didnt do it , doesnt show on the invoice but he didnt charge me for something so thought it was that... i dunno my call them tomorrow

umm had to take car to pedders to get some of the bushes out , also make up some special tool or something hehe.

all up with wheel balance was $195.

Hey Drift Spec - i had a camber kit put on the rear of my silvia for the same reason... 17's cost too much to scrub out! lol

was it all done professionally?? shudder would be tyre balance for sure... are your tyres still unevenlly worn, (ie u didnt get new tyres yet?) besides the balance, the different camber angle with the tyres may also be a factor.... as far as the ride of the car... pending on how worn the tyres are...

a guy that i knew of, use to block his lamborghini cont up off the ground when he wasnt using it, to avoid any little flat spots on the tyres... bit much if u ask me! but i guess with crazy wide tyres the tyre centres would tend to get flat spots if it sat too long...

Drift Spec, if you are going back in for a balance, I would ask them to check that they are using max adjustment on the front.

The kit is supposed to allow +/-0.6 deg, or a bit over 0.30'.

I would have expected your camber coming back to about 1deg,15'.

Might be worth checking/asking?

Yeah still got same tyres so I gather they have worn uneven due to camber before... getting new ones soon to fix it up.

Yeah I though camber was still a bit out, they put the full kit in the front and half kit in the back ... back is good now but yeah would like front to 1.15 rather than 1.25 plus.

Also the toe arm on front is seized, he couldnt get it full adjusted so steering wheel is a little off centre but not really noticable.

    • 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.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts

    • 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
