yeah you want the car on the ground to check alignment. up on stands is no good. obviously you can jack it up to adjust, but must be on flat ground again to re-check.

oh yeah for sure. what i'm getting at is if you would need to roll back (e.g. 10m) then roll forward to allow all the tyres/suspension to 'seat' then check again. right?

How about using a simple clinometer for camber measurement? Autospeed states the ones picture cost $15 from a marine store, you could bolt it to a length along the side and just rest it against your wheel (maybe with a right angle at the bottom to sit it on the ground).

Hows it go on the race track lauren, ours sucks (although we snuck home 3rd behind 2 race cars at the road event the other day). too much understeer

Its fun at motorkhanas though..... http://www.hgeconsulting.com.au/khanazed.wmv

I actually find it a struggle on the tighter motorkhana courses (although you seem to make it look effortless) but the more open courses I seem do quite well in. I've only been participating in motorkhana and circuit for last three months so i still have a LOT to learn. It's a bit of fun anyway it wouldnt be a car i would use if i wanted to be ultra competitive no haha.

Oran Park. 2 sprint races on the sat, and a sprint and a 1hr enduro on the sunday.....hopefully we can last an hour on a tank of fuel this time, last time we had to retired about 4 min from the end

Go the open fuel filler :cool:

paint job looks shmiko on the track, and that balaclarva makes you look very stig like.

Yer just noticed that as well, need to get that looked at. That corner although its doesnt look like it it has about 18 degree of banking have not seen a pic of that corner before, little surprised that the suspension is compressed that far.

heres mine!

spec wise: its got the normal gear power wise 350hp @ 16psi, i've been more focus on suspension and brakes ---> 90% of my suspension arm have been replace with nismo items, got nismo swaybar F&R, aftermarket tierods and castor rods, current has d2 coilovers but waiting for my TEIN RA-spec to arrived (damper and rebound adjustable with 10kg spring rate F&R)... my clutch has just failed so twin plate is on the way, ohh yeah running ap caliper up the front with larger disc.

im pretty much happy with the car atm, just need an lsd and it will be perfect

nothing too special atm, as it was a daily driver but i have since got a nice daily which cost me $20 a week in fuel :thumbsup: so its getting the full track treatment in the near future... cage, stripped inside etc etc

Edited by [Michael]

Ok, so it's not mine, but Jason the owner and I built it, and I get to sit in the silly side :/ No pics of the engine out/suspension etc unfortunately. It's just built to CAMS Tarmac specs. But we wanted a stereo and the aircon still :D

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
