Hey there, just wanting a ruff idea on setting my 32 up to handle tighter turns, I know for one the 15 x 6" wheels are just shocking, and cheapy 195/45/15 on the front is another bad example...

I have old school Non adjustable Bilstein Coilovers, and a Front strut brace and thats about it for mods.

Any tips are much appreciated icon_mrgreen.gificon_mrgreen.gif

Your tyres also sound too small.

stock gtst size is 205/55-16.

Anyway, you need to do 3 things. 1) get some better tyres in the right size, 2) get a front camber kit, you will not be able to dial out all the understeer without one, and also some caster rods or bushes, 3) upgrade your swaybars.

If you're only worried about the understeer, then you need a stiffer rear sway bar. This causes the rear wheels to do more of the work when cornering, thus reducing understeer. I have my GTR setup with whiteline adjustable bars, full soft on the front, full stiff on the rear and its about neutral with that setup.

Dont forget to check out the Suspension/Handling articles sticky also.

Well this is actually a GTS25, 4stud, 2 pot brake setup, but a NA25 in it, Stock wheels were 15"

Right now the Fronts have 195/45/15, rears 205/50/15. But defiantly Tires is the 1st ill look into.

2) "get a front camber kit, you will not be able to dial out all the understeer without one, and also some caster rods or bushes".

: What does the kit actually include? I was looking into ebay crap, but as far as ebay quality goes... >_> Shit like Adjustable Castor Rods.

Just trying to find cheapest to order in swaybars, was looking into going through Pedders??

Cheers Scotty

    • That sounds like an excellent idea. But total self-sufficiency means exactly that. You have no-one else to blame when your system faults out and you have no power for a week or two while it gets fixed. You'd have to go the whole hog and get a diesel genny and all the switchover gear, to get you through such times. And, despite the fact that over 20 years, my system has been pretty reliable**, I have seen so many inverter explosions (or less dramatic deaths), panel and roof JB fires, and so on, over that time, to know that the stuff is the same as any other bulk Chinese manufactured stuff. The failure rate is well above zero - both on the equipment and on behalf of the meth addled installation labour force. And then..... warranty and means of redress against the supplier you bought the gear from. Best I can tell is that only a handful of solar companies are still around within 5 years of starting their advertising pitch. They disappear and phoenix like crazy. So, as per 1st paragraph, I suspect the only way to is go balls deep and spend maybe 2-3 times as much as you might think, so that you have every base covered. Plus, know and understand your gear intimately, so you can diagnose problems, sort them out yourself, etc, etc. Plus, probably have to consider upgrading various parts as the years pass, to maintain compatibility with newer stuff, performance and reliability, etc, etc. Whereas, remaining attached to the grid has an ongoing cost that keeps going up even if you use bugger all power from it. But it does provide the fallback in case of the worst case with your own gear. You either pay up front or as you go, I suspect.
    • Add more solar panels to the array. Call the electricity company and tell them you're moving out... Live off grid electric wise
    • Hi Jasmine. How's the war going?
    • I'm extremely suspicious of the VPP stuff. Best I can tell, you surrender any and all control of your panels and battery to the VPP, because there's no way that anyone could write a sufficiently useful set of "rules" as to how much you would be willing to let out of your export meter at any given time. If one of your main interests is to have enough in your battery every evening to get you through the night without having to import, you could easily find yourself with nothing in your battery at the end of the day, or part way through the night, and then be paying import pricing instead of paying nothing. I cannot see how this cannot come to pass.
    • majority aftermarket is an10 yes, but majority of OEM is An12 r35 OEM cooler lines at close to an 12, the hard line that car uses is almost 20mm  Porsche OEM is also AN12   i figure, if our power levels are close to 1000hp, then AN12 should be a must if many OEM standard power vehicles use AN12
