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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
