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:

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.

      Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
