Well I guess I should have got a wheel alignment sooner. I brought a GTR R32 over to WA from Adelaide with pretty new SO3's. The suspension was removed and a standard suspension was put in to get the car over the pits and then I put the original suspension back in. Once the original suspension went back on I noticed that the car was pulling to the right and planned to take the car for an alignment. Well, with work pressures 300k's have gone by & f**k me, the front tyres are worn on a sloping angle almost to the knockers! The rubber looks like its' almost peeling off on the sloping angle. What a lesson:(

What should I consider when looking for a wheel place to do an alignment?

chances are the susp you had in it was quite a bit lower then stock, you then put standard susp in it and this jacks the car up higher, when this happens all the susp geometry's change, toe, camber and castor go out the window, So you must have been running some extreme figures to kill the tyres that quick!

when looking for a place to do a wheel alignment. all u need is a tyre shop.

all machines are basically the same.

its only the operators that you have to look out for. one young bloke buggered my rims and alignment right up. you would think that if one wheel is straight but the other is stupidly toed in it would ring some bells. obviously the kid didnt have a clue what he was doing. in this case i got what i paid for really.

there must be another issue... to scrub out tyres that quick must mean something is either toeing in or out massively... like 10mm or more

Here is the wheel allignment printout. The car still tends to pull slightly to the left. Guy at the wheel shop reckons there is no camber adjustment on the R32. I've moved the front tyres to the rear as they are probably ok for a few thousand k's or so.

I hit a decent pot hole on the way to work once with my front left wheel. Rooted the inside of the tyre in a week so I got an alignment with new tyres - turns out it was 13mm out on that one rim! :domokun:

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
