Mine currently:

Rear Axle: Left Right

Camber: -2.08' -0.43'

Individual Toe: -0.1mm +0.1mm

Total Toe: +0.07mm

Geometric Axis: +0"01'

Front Axle: Left Right

Camber: -2"37' -1"20'

Individual Toe: +0.0mm +0.0mm

Total Toe: +0.0mm

Side Notes: Wheel alignment was done by Pedders Suspension at Artarmon. left hand side of the vehicle has previous accident damage from a large impact. Alignment machine was calibrated straight before the alignment was done.

Drivability: Car drives straight as a die, corners harder to the right than to the left, but handles like it's on rails, rides true straight, can let go of the wheel, roll straight, drive straight, and brake straight.

Anyway, lets here more.

Too much negative camber on the rear -1 is plenty

You also have basicly no toe on the rear. Toe it in 1mm each side

Front get a set of adjustable upper arms and set the camber to neg 1.5

Toe it out 1.5-2mm each side on the front, you'll notice the turn in will be alot sharper

Front Axle: Left Right

Camber : -1.71 -2.11

Individual toe : +1.5mm +1.5mm

Total Toe : +3mm

Rear axle: Left Right

Camber: -2.01 -2.17

Individual toe: +1.8mm +1.9mm

Total Toe: +3.6mm

Geometrical axis: +0.13

So far so good! Please correct these settings if you know better!

If your prepared to travel, East coast suspension are very good. If not then any pedders/bobjane/ tire shop with a decent machine can set the car up to whatever you tell them to do.

Just be sure you get a print out of what the results were so you can keep it for future reference.

i have adjustable noltec uppers, setting camber to neg 1.5 and toe to 1.5-2mm each side on the front, is this a std/recommended setting for 32GTR??

any toe for rear?? also roughly how much are alignment for 4wd cars??

I'm no expert at all. But I thought for street you want about 1mm toe in each side rear (for stability at speed), and zero toe for front. (Maybe I'm wrong but that's what I was going to ask for when I fit this HICAS lock bar)

Also thought front toe-in increased turn-in at the expense of increased understeer mid-corner. Toe out gives less turn-in but decreased understeer mid-corner (oh and increased tyre wear)

toe in is good for daily passenger cars, not so good for exploiting a good sport car chassis depending on the track we run lots of toe out :cheers:

i usually leave the rear about 1.5mm toe in per side (3mm total toe in).

Went to Artarmon Pedders today (round the corner) the blokes there are tops!

Anyway

REAR SETUP:

Camber - Left: -2.19 Right: -2.09 (I run 19's now so camber is an issue, standard adjustments)

Individual Toe: Rear Left: +0.6 rear right: +0.6

FRONT SETUP:

Camber - Left: -1.44 Front -1.22 (front rides 10mm higher)

Individual Toe - 0.5 - 0.5

Geo Axis - Nill

Next time your there, tell him Brian with the Silver GTR said to say G'day.

I use Scott at Pedders, he knows my car well, and was willing to do my last alignment for free (straight after a repair job on the car to check everything over).

He will be doing most of my work, he calibrates the machine before I get the car up there, knows his stuff, and is up front and bloody honest when it comes to the car.

Yes, my left hand side is way out camber wise, but there is reasons for this (car has a few small issues). Will be getting some new gear to resovle my issues, but she drives alright.

BTW, for those who dont know, the more toe-in you have in the front, the snappier and tighter steering will feel. When I first got my car back from the repairer, it dead-set felt like a racing car, and I found the Toe-in at the front to be 5.8mm and the rears to be 3mm. Now it's less 'exciting' in the steering department, but not as wrestle-happy either, quite comfortable to drive.

I will be getting numerous adjustments done to further tweak the handling.

r32 drift n track car only

current drift set up

front right - 1.6 deg front left- 1.6 deg

caster +10 deg

front total toe 4mm

rear right -.5 left -.5

total toe 0

corner weighted

51/49 % front to rear

1259 kg with driver n half a tank

need more front camber but i want to see how it handled before i modded the front end

will go to around 3.0 n see how it feels

for circuit i would run a little more rear toe n rear camber + shock,spring n bar changes

i woud be keen to c what other drifters r running

and why is no one eles posting caster

caster is your friend

Whats a good short course/motorkhana/slow speed alignment set up?

I have a 32gtst, coils, caster arms, rear camber arms, pinapples, rack extension and ends etc....

Ha ha ha,, and a turbo that's waaay to big!

Castor, 6.5

ride height, 350mm

Toe, - 1mm total toe out, 0.5mm each side

Rear camber, -1.5

Ride height, 340mm

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
