afternoon all.

Woo top gear night! :)

I don't think there are any laws on camber itself. HOWEVER. when looking straight down from above the car, the entire tyre (including at the bottom) must be inside the line of the guard. So having epic offset and using camber to tuck the front level/inside the guard, but leaving the bottom outside the guard, will not be legal.

this, technically my car doesnt pass.

Come now Tony, i'm allowed to be curious!
Besides, i would like to run a little bit of camber, just enough to assist the rims in tucking correctly when underload/cornering
At some stage i will probably get a slightly smaller offset rim, but it would be nice to have my current ones not scrub when climbing uneven driveways etc...

Camber is nice but destroys tires on a daily basis. I know what your trying to do. Only a little camber will get those wheels of yours tucked in. I wouldnt worry too much, and it will get noticed anyways :)

I've heard 3* is the most suspension places will dial arms in at... Weather this is true or not I don't know.

Also camber ftmfw, I run my front camber arms maxed out you know... For extra hectics lol. And my rears are fairly angled as well :)

3 is silly for the road.

Drag racing should have 0 camber for tractions?? I try and get as much out as I can, as the standard setup has enough as it is once you've lowered a little. I want less on my rears, and better tires.....

Who needs boost, don't have any boost ATM and chop cars + does mad skids lol

bring it.

think my manual, run in tune would be quicker than yours.

atm its capped at 6k.

wait, does yours even go to 6k?

for drags, a tiny bit of neg, then it goes to 0 with squat.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
