If you didn't manage to get there, it was good! Just happy to get back out on that track again! The noise issue wasn't as bad as I'd thought it'd be.

hrd-hr30, good to meet ya mate.

Cheers, Ben (go the spagma!)

my sentiments exactly - that track is something special! it was awesome to get back out there, and was alot of fun in the GTR. A bit faster than my old Datto was, and a bit less nimble too... but still remarkably good for a heavy road car on Federal tyres! The Federals were very very good actually. They certainly stood up to the punishment alot better than the brakes! :laugh:

Nice to meet you and Jason too. Have fun down at Rally Burnie! You guys should come and do the QLD Challenge Touring Road Event in August if you can. I think its the 26th. They have a few closed road sections around the place, so its a good bit of fun. Nothing like the tarmac rallies you guys do, but for $120 its a pretty good way to spend a Saturday.

yeah, i managed to get 3 sessions in a row at the end, so that made up for missing out on the rest of the day i guess...

and yes, it was worth getting out on the track...

i'm glad i didn't spit the dummy and tear into them and demand my money back now :laugh:

good to see it all worked out in the end. Nice to see you leave with a smile after the dissapointment earlier.

can you let me know if your mate in the RX7 got any pics of my car?

cheers mate,

Harry

oh btw, you live just around the corner from my mate Glynn with the blue 240Z that was out there yesterday. I went back to his place for a beer after and saw you behind me.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
