Heya,

Just had my current wheel alignment read. See attached. Just wondering if anyone who knows what good wheel alignment settings should be can comment on any major problem areas I might have.

Car sits low on tein super streets if that makes any difference.

Lots of things not set up for good handling, ride comfort or decent tyre wear;

Front

Insufficient caster differential, shoudl have at least 0.25 degrees more caster on the LHS front to help prevent the drift to the gutter (caster kit $110 on the Group Buy)

Too much negative camber, get it down to around 1 degree (front camber kit $183 on the Group Buy)

Too much toe, should be around zero (use the standard adjusters)

Rear

Way too much negative camber, get it down to around 0.75 degree (rear camber kit $125 on the Group Buy)

Too much toe, should be around 2 mm toe in each side (use the standard adjusters)

Judging by the exaggerated camber it's too low, the best height for handling and ride comfort is 350 mm front and 340 mm rear (centre of wheel to guard). Raise it up before you get the alignment fixed.

Cheers

whats recommended track/drift settings for a r32 rwd?

Simple question, not so easy to answer without the data;

What tyres?

What swaybars?

What spring rates?

What height?

What engine power?

What weight?

Cheers

Gary

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
