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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
