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

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
