you can go pretty hard setup on the rear suspension as long as the front is stockish.

Too stiff a setup at the front is what kills you. Too low as well.

Get the KCA349 kit from whiteline suspension for the rear diff cradle. I have this kit and otherwise the suspension is stock.

excessive camber causes excessive camber? that's a new one on me shuto boy.

as rev said though, hard at the back is okay as long as ur not too hard at the front. i know i know, it SOUNDS backwards but it's not, okay?

also, diff cradle kit is great little mod. on the camber issue though, if skylines are lowered properly, they dont have camber issues at all. (i.e. by properly i mean with appropriate adjustments/add ons to aid camber and castor adjustment).

dont want to go too off topic here, but seems that the neg camber on the rear, is a common thing when the car is lowered. i have tein coilovers and the car is a bit lower than stock, there is slight neg camber on the rear, which isn't helping for traction, and is also is chewing the inner tread of my tyres a lot quicker than the rest. what can you guys recommend, as the best way to fix this without wasting money, but gaining good results? cheers.

i have seen r33's with pod and full exhaust, that couldn't even crack into the 14's, because of wheelspin. main thing is tyres and suspension and the driver, a stocker should be able to pull a 14.2, i've seen it done.

i've got a 31 that weighs the same as a 33 (1400kg) and it has an RB25.

it has cooler/zorst/pod/ecu map (just a bit smoother) and a t04e running 9psi and i came away with a 13.85 and that was on Simex 215/60/16

It has around 190 at the wheels like a few other 33's with stock turbo's running 12-14 psi.

your mate should get at least a low 14 more to high 13... as he should have around 170-180 at the wheels. Power to the road is only a rough thing to go by.

rev210 has done better than i have and his is far more stock than mine.

It all comes down to how you get it off the line/60ft time. If it's up around 2.5 or about you can chop off .5 of a second with a good launch which in turn brings your half a second lower

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
