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

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
