No. Excessive camber just looks f**king stupid. Stop pretending its cool.

-D

tell that to race cars. oh no i might get camber wear on my tyres!!

the camber it runs is for practical reasons, it's only really noticeable compared to other track cars due to the fact you can actually see the wheels poking outside the guard and they aren't sunken to shit, also the way the guard tapers in towards the bottom exaggerates the look of camber.

but thanks for your input, it's not like i have any experience setting up car's suspension, so this was helpful...

Different people have different opinions - I don't see it's any reason to get upset or start slinging insults around.

Some people don't see a point in the 'stance' or 'big camber' movement, whilst others love it. At the end of the day, it's just a thing of personal taste - though I can see how Dohmar's reply could be seen as a criticism or personal attack.

it isn't demon camber which is a cosmetic statement, it's a decent amount of camber for a drift car which uses the setting for practical reasons.

I apologise if I thought the camber on that vehicle was purely cosmetic - the stylisation of the picture, and the context of a car in Japan - I think it's a pretty easy mistake to make - especially given the lack of information provided about the vehicle. To my mind, this simply looked like a car in Japan that nisskid liked that was part of the camber/stance scene in Japan (that I understand to be quite popular, based on magazines/online articles I've read). Personally, I think that - in the right context - the stance/high-camber look is pretty sweet for purely cosmetic reasons - though it wouldn't pass muster in Australia due to police. But as I said in my earlier comment - to each their own.

Either way, it seems as though you guys are more familiar with the car - and that it has a purpose in this instance. Obviously cars that are used in drifting tend to use large amounts of camber. Any more information on it available?

there's not heaps to it, i bought it in 2010, with just coilovers and a mechanical diff, and performance wise it hasn't really changed as the car is a work horse, it not only drifts, it also has seen a lot of road trips across japan, and at near on $1.80-1.90 a litre over there, it's gotta be fuel efficient haha. i have drifted the car in a few competitions, a whole lot more events, and the stock rb20 does a great job. the body work was done last year, and it now runs modified knuckles up front a long with cut and shut lca's for additional clearance and camber. the wheels are 15x9 -45 and 15x8 -40 with 195/50's all round, it's designed to look good, but it doesn't get princessed around, it gets thrashed pretty hard and has the scars to show for it.

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
