Thanks SK,

just measured mine, 340 at the back 335 at the front.

so about 10mm off what optimum is...

i have height/damper adjustable coilovers, would it be worth raising it 10mm?

Whats the standard camber / toe in/out settings like?

what does dropping it to 345/350 do to the camber?

I think i'm running about -2.5deg neg camber up front and about -2deg camber at rear...

guessing this is because it is lowered about 40mm from standard?

Hi Ferni, the 10 mm too low is resulting in too much neg camber, as usual the rear is the worst offender. For a road car we never got over 1.5 degrees negative on the front and 1 degree negative on the rear. The 2.5 negative on the front is OK if you do some track work, with 1.5 degrees negative on the rear. A drag car gets best traction at zero camber on the rear, in fact a little positive is not unususal. Time for a camber kit if you don't already have one.

Hope that helps :P

i'm aiming for neg 1.5 on the front and neg 1 on the back.

You said the rear camber is worst offender? But in my case my fronts are ~ -2.5 and rear ~ -2

My front tyres are scrubbed baddly on the insides, rears, not so bad.

I'm about to get some new tyres - hence i want to get the camber fixed up.. probbaly get a whiteline handling pack (swaybars, rear camber kit, front castor kit) + front camber kit.

So i guess my main question is, is it worth raising my car 10mm? - it shouldn't be to hard with my adjustable coilovers.

If you like it there Ferni, and it doesn't bottom out or rub its tummy where you drive, them it's OK. Just get some camber adjusters. The rear is the worst offender, if you do any track work the front is OK at 2.5, but the rear is never OK at 2. :cheers:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
