I just read somewhere that Skylines don't handle too well to lowering except for coil overs suspension. I'm only going to lowering it about 30mm or less. And I just got my wheel alignment done too when I got the Buddy Clubs damn!! :)

Are camber bushes those pineapple thing??

Not really sure what camber bushes are?!?! hehe don't know much about suspension set ups and stuff.

Pineapples are for the rear cradle, and prevent axle tramp - the can be set up for drift, traction, or inbetween.

If you look at the wheel from the front, camber is when it appears to be tipped over a bit - usually toward the middle of the car. This is esp noticeable in hardcore drift cars, as it increases turn in, but for general use it will chop out your tyres very quickly

Thanks Steve

I'll keep that in mind when I get the car align. Aren't they mean to keep that in check for you anyway so the tyres don't wear out from the inside?

I ask this because my old tyres was wearing from the inside shoulder. Does Skyline have alot of negative chamber on them??

Damn there is so much to learn about.

Cheers

:)

    • Hey Murray, hope all is good. I took your advice and put the filler first then the putty. Seems like a much better result but i noticed there are still pinholes. I even had pin holes when i initially put the putty on the body filler. Do you think it has something to do with my spreader being f*cked? I attached some images. This is the intially body filler i sanded. No putty yet  Applying putty. Final result after using wax and grease remover can see the pin holes. I just noticed as i look at the putty application it looks wavy not sure if it's supposed to be like that or because of the spreader.
    • Hey all just wanting some advice. I’ve just compression tested my RB25det and these are the following results  Cyl 1 - 135psi Cyl 2 - 135psi Cyl 3 - 120psi Cyl 4 - 140psi Cyl 5 - 130psi Cyl 6 - 125psi   do these numbers seem ok.  Thanks in advance
