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

Its viewable from the front and isnt angled. Its legal, and passed regency without any hassles. I'd know about it if it wasn't.

-D

i wouldnt be so confident, regency arent gonna call you on sumthing like that, its a cop and cop only related issue. from the 1 officer i have spoken to about it the front licence plate must be straight in line with the front of the car and above 300mm high. i just went with a slim line cc plate on a bracket in the place provided so there isnt an ounce of IC coverd up.

edit** this would be the perfect thing for old mate neil to clear up.....

anyways im gonna go check this ns v sau thread for some lulz

Nonsense. It is a regency issue since they are the definitive authority for the stamp of approval. Them being "engineers" and sapol being "police"

FYI I did some reading tonight.... you're right about the left hand plates being legal, but so is mine - because the plates can have a maximum of 20' angle from front on - which mine is so close to front on, its not funny. and it never stopped me from getting owned by a speed camera (i got the notice for speeding 58kph in a 50 zone and it wasnt accompanied by a notice regarding the plates).

And why wouldn't I be confident Rhys? The relocation kit came from japan when the car was imported by its previous owner (writeoff) and it passed regency upon its compliance. The car has been here for 4 years and never had a defect notice. Fact. And I have been 'randomly' pulled over and then let off after a bretho check, and again on another occasion when they were checking registrations.....I can't believe you think that it would be otherwise, when you haven't even seen the car in person.... unless you're just doing your usual stirring shit routine and are basing your opinion on a 300 pixel avatar.

Died, was looking like a heated battle was looming between Ruby in the blue (mesh) corner for SAU, and everyone else in the red corner for NS :(

I admire his dedication to reply to every cheap shot individually, layed the grounds for a pretty good shit slinging match but it wasn't to be :P

Just personally, I reckon he faulted a bit with the discreet call.

Full body kit, shiny 18s and colourful meshing (which you've gotta admit stands out against the black) isn't what I'd call discreet or stealth, but anyway that point had already been argued :(

      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

      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

      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.
