Thanks Jezboosted - are you running them with the stock toe arms? Is your toe amount still ok?

No sorry, i am running adjustable toe as well. I think you will find that depending on how low you go, will decide whether stock toe arms are enough.

I posted the text below in the suspension thread. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/53079-stagea-suspension/page__st__960

Initially before adj arms i had

Front Total Toe +4.3mm

Front Camber L -2.30° R -2.22°

Rear Total Toe +5.7mm

Rear Camber L -2.41° R -2.76°

Now i have

Front Total Toe +0.8mm

Front Camber L -1.45° R -1.42°

Rear Total Toe +2.3mm

Rear Camber L -0.66° R -0.68°

Eyebrow - Front 355mm

- Rear 345mm

...

Eyebrow - Front 355mm

- Rear 345mm

Thanks for the clarification. I assume eyebrow = hub-to-guard, mine are currently as follows:

  • Front 350mm (25mm drop)
  • Rear 335mm (30mm drop)

I reckon what I'll do is pop the adjustable camber arms in, dial out some of the neg.camber, look at the toe and if I run out of adjustment then lift the rear up a bit to compensate.

There should be an extra 0.75deg in adjustment in the toe arms too since I've just replaced the inner bushes with eccentric SuperPro ones...

Thanks for all the help guys.

I also have the neotech arms which are apparently ikea fomula knockoffs. Excellent quality. I got them because I was running 2 & 2.45 neg camber at standard height with eccentric adjuster maxed out. Camber shot up to 3.45 when i installed my hsd coilovers. Bit much for a street wagon if u ask me. Now looking into doing front upper arms. Also in the original post it says get a wheel alignment sooner rather than later, more like immediately after!! It was trash your tyres in 1,000kms. I do wheel alignments for a living and my car gets them regularly, I installed arms and drove it on the wheel aligner straight after and it was out a mile! So for the good of your tyres/wallet, get it done right away.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
