hey i have a few options for my r33 s1 gtst,

i found out my wheels have negative camber on them to that they would fit in the arches, the tires are 265/35 x18,

my tires will always wear on the inside really bad if i dont straighten them up, should i get it raised an a camber kit put on to bring them out straight or get the arches rolled so they will fit a bit better

all help appreciated

guards rolled and maybe flared a little?

i have the same problem atm on a 33 with similar tires except in 19" and im looking into getting my rolled and slightly flared. But wouldnt mind pictures as a reference to how it looks on a R33

i guess it depends what your offset likes, mine puts my tires pretty much in line with my guard so i need to probably flare them a touch but yours might not sit out as much

This really comes down to personal choice and what you're trying to achieve with the car.

I had the same size wheels and tyres and I opted for -1.5-2 (adjustable up to -4) degrees camber and some very slight flaring. This gave me enough camber for higher speed turns but didn't destroy tyres 'too' quickly.

If you do go the roll/flare route get a decent panel shop to do it as the quarter panel sheets join under the lip of the guard and it's also very easy to crack the paint on the lip inside and also where the quard folds in under the wheel arch.

Good luck ;)

cars naturally get negative camber when they are lowered, the lower you make it the more neg camber you get..

i have adjustable camber arms and got my guards rolled, so i could fit my rims with out too much neg camber after i put my coilovers in

i got mine done professionally at West Coast Wheels, but I'm not sure where is reputable in other states.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
