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

:)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
