nah its pretty easy, i use a folding set quare with a dial angle gauge and it usually gets me to within .05 of a degree.

the only issue you may encounter is the amount of factory adjustment, depending on how low you may run out of adjustment.

Dont forget that toe and castor (front) changes when you change cambers. Best done on a good wheel alignment machine. Take it to a suspension place, or a motorsport tyre dealer, most run of the mill tyre shops are dodgy and dont care.

for sure, so many times ive had to redo an alignment at home because of a dodgy alignment.

string lines FTW.... :) you would be amazed how precise a couple of crayons, some fishing line and 4 jack stands can be..... most of the time it is better than those fancy machines, i must admit thoug Resevoir tyrepower (motorsport experts) is the best place in vic i have found so far and we have tried all the big names. In fact he was the only shop we visited who could adjust the traction arms without me having to give a explanation as to what they actually do...

Is that what you call them? I've heard rear tension rods, rear caster rods, now traction arms.

ive got adjustable arms in the rear, and they are nearly perfect, with just a lttle neg camber, fronts are quite excessive though......Just need to know what the process is of adjusting, how much do i have to remove etc...

HAve you got adjustable upper arms in the front? If your front camber is excessive then you have to add some.

well start with a wheel alignment and see if it is your toe or camber causing the problem. If its your camber you will need to add adjustable upper arms or bushes

oh ok because i was told that adjustable caster rods will fix the problem.........because my problem is that the inside of my wheels is wearing (on the front)

lol and Adam.

The thing is uneven wear inside to outside can be caused by either toe or camber. toe can be adjusted from factory and can cause much worse wear than camber because it drags the tyre unevenly acrross the road.

caster rods will not fix your problem either way because they dont affect how the tyre sits on the road in a straight line only when the wheel is turned.

Caster, Camber and Toe are all different thigns and have different affects on the car. A wheel alignment will check them all.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
