Hi all

Just got a wheel alignment done and the car now tracks all over the place.

Can anyone tell me if these setting are right. I have ajustable front castor and camber

arms, coilovers and hicas is still in.

Rear axle left right

camber -2*24' -1*21'

individual toe +0.6mm +1.0mm

total toe +1.6mm

geometrical driving axis +0`02'

Front axle left right

castor 10` +4*45' +3*05'

K.P.I 10` +18*01' +16*12'

camber -0*51' -1*13

individual toe +0.7mm +1.0mm

total toe +1.7mm

setback -3.3mm

included angle 10` +17*11' +14*11'

Also the wheels are 19 x 9.5 +28mm off set, which he thinks is the problem.

Thanks

If your in Vic I'd recommend traction tyres, excellent customer service and decent pricing.

Also check the SydneyKid group buys, he's got a recommended alignment in each of them for various model's of skyline.

Yeah but Sydney kids settings are for when you use his parts.

I asked a question with regards to camber settings when using stock sway bars and certain springs and i got some smartarse answer from son of sydneykid...

It cos you have FAT tyres. If you put skinnies back on it wont do it as bad,....but your settings are average.

Why such differing front camber? Has your car been in an accident?

Looks like a bent front upright or something to me. Huge difference in KPI and this isn't showing up on the camber, so there's something not right there. Rear camber's all over the shop, not sure if something in the rear's bent too or? The wheel aligner could've at least spent the extra 5-10mins to get the toe even on the rear.

Really?

I checked with traction tyres and showed them the SydneyKid settings and they said that's close to there recommended settings with one minor change somewhere. EDIT: For street, they said they would make changes if it was for a track day.

And I'm not using the SydneyKid parts...

this read out of settings was done from pedders? yes.

regardless of where it was done NO , it is not good.

what is your intended use of the car and what tyres are you using, sway bars, coilovers etc etc etc......

im from TRUTRACK SUSPESION, give us a call on 9326 5392 and we will get it sorted out properly.

Thanks for the replies,

Yes, it was done at Pedders. I have just noticed that the target data settings on the sheet they gave me

are for a R31 skyline.

The car has D2 coilovers (which I don't like), jap ajustable front camber arms and ajustable castor rods. Eveything else is standard; it is an Australian model and hasn't been in an accident. It currently has 90,000kms. Street use only.

The problem is I live in Canberra and there is not many good places around!

Thanks again.

Cheers

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
