Bump for a great thread!

I just got mine done today and as follows

gts-t

f/r - 245/45/17 ku36

Purpose - touge mainly then street but with compromise for tire wear.

Front:

Castor 7 deg

Toe out 1.4mm total (0.7mm per side)

Camber -1.5 deg per side

37psi cold

Rear:

Toe in 1mm (0.5mm per side)

Camber -1.2 deg per side

Really like how the car drives. Turns in good, very good mid corner front end grip. Rear end is nice and predictable with lots of feedback.

I have been searching for about an hour but the only info i can find for factory wheel alignment specifications are for R32GTR/R34 Service Manual as per attached image i made, does any one know what the standard wheel alignment specs are for an R34 GTR V-Spec?

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

What would be the perfect setup in wheel alignment for a R33 GTS-T which is mostly used on street , but has good handling & can stick to the road well when u take it for a nice hard drive in the mountains ? What setup would be good with camber front & rear , Toe in , Castor , ect ? This weekend i'm fitting adjustable upper camber arms front & rear , front adjustable tension rod arms & bar , hardened tie rods with KTS tie rod ends , Adjustable rear tow & traction rods aswell . Help with alignment specs would be much appreciated :) Cheers

any GTR recommendations? recently had one done and the rear end feels super twitchy on sydney roads. looks like a lot of toe in with about -4 camber (camber arms bought already) on the rear and about -2.5 camber and slight toe out on the front. this is from a visual inspection

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
