I know the skyline your talking about but unfortunately I didn't see it. 33 seconds is fairly fast. On Monday there was a 29.xx. It was a new record by one of those old school GP stlye cars.

I have heard that they have public days at Collingrove, don't know much more about it though.

If my rather vauge memory serves me correct, I saw an article on RPM about the N1 you are talking about. The fella is the one that crashed the purple v-spec (nice car that one!! :) ) and bought the white N1 for this years Targa Tasmania.

Apparently he was the only one who could challenge the leading porsche (driven by Jim Richards???).

By the way he was driving it on Saturday, he'd be a good chance to beat him. Looked pretty stock as well, could only spot the Power FC, upgraded suspension, huge brakes and good rubber. Still had stock airbox and a stock looking exhaust.

Hauled ass though - would be good to see a GTR will the Targa!

Steve's N1 is at Tilbrooks getting front end fixed this week.

Unfortunately he had a brake problem & hit a guard rail on the hill climb.I hope they can get it fixed in time for Targa Tasmania in a few weeks.I'll be barracking for him.Any one with spare front end parts let Mark know.

      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.
