ca wouldn't even heat up a kettle :)

but srsly, CA in a keto would be fun, gotta look after the engine tho. 90% of CA's are old and thrashed, no wonder they dont last. If you think about the pre 91 silvias with CA's, that was 18-19 years ago, thats old in engine years.

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

yep not wrong on that one damo

if i remember correctly he made 185 on the boostworx dyno

not a bad power to weight ratio on that beast

That was 185 kw with a 10mm hole in the intercooler piping where a blanking plug came lose and fell out. That won't be happening again, now with added loc-tight.

What's with all the CA haters here, anyone would think it's a skyline forum. The only problem with CA's is that a lot of them have had a hard life and they haven't been well maintained, If you get one that's been treated with respect they make a good RELIABLE little power house. Have a look at the graph below, that's on a standard bottom end.

Here's the new graph from a couple weeks ago on a 36 degree day, and that's after i lost 10kw by going back to the factory manifold which we gained back by 1 more psi in boost, also gained 400 RPM in response with the factory manifold;

such a nice and smooth curve and the power is coming nice and early as well

ahh now i know why you only made 185 on that day....would have liked to see this figure there

so am i reading it right Dale....your actually loosing 400rpm in response by using aftermarket manifolds?

I knew something wasn't right in the day because it was sssooooo rich, if you remember the exhaust manifold was also cracked at the turbo flange, when i took the turbo and manifold off it all made sense when i saw the 10mm plug had falled out of the compressor outlet.

Yep was getting full boost just over 4000 before but now it's more like 3700-3800 rpm, but at the cost of kw. Was making 216kw with the old manifold but with the factory manifold it was making 203kw, with some more tuning and the extra psi or so we got it back to around the same figure as the old manifold.

Earlier power = Torque so would have gained a few Nm in torque, but i don't have a graph with that on it.

CA's don't even need oil :)

Have had nothing but bad experiences with CA's (spun bearings, lack of women throwing themselves at the car when I drove past, etc).

But seriously, if you're going CA... just do yourself a favour and get a RB20!

Use the CA for a paper weight or something.

its ok i thought about rb20 in the keto lol..

but just abit too much work.. and would be way insane!!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
