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

35psi cold

HKS springs f/r, bilstein shocks valved +25%, stock sways.

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

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
