Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone is able to help me out with camber issues for my brothers s2 rs4.

The car is currently running -3.5 at the rear and is quickly scrubbing tyres. Due to needing so much adjustment will I get away with just a camber arm or will this mess up the rear toe? From what I can see the rear toe is not adjustable as it is non hicas so as I said I am to think the toe will be stuffed. I know he will have to run an arm appossed to the camber bushes as there would not be enough adjustment and the arm is cheaper.

Any help is greatly appreciated as Im lost, haha.

Here is a print out of his last alignment as previously posted>>> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/po...nment-200808291

Mate, the rear toe is adjustable from factory. Depending on where it is currently set, you may not need to get adjustable rear toe arms.

check out this thread...DIY Fitting adjustable rear camber arms

I had similar issues as your bro. I just fitted adjustable camber arms and corrected the toe, using the stock toe arms, to give me good rear camber figures without excessive rear toe!

Good luck.

I used Monsta Performance adjustable arms from E-Bay, cheapest around plus come with 1yr warranty. If you search through all the pictures in the listings for the different suppliers... its pretty easy to tell that about 80% of them use exactly the same arms, they just paint them different colours!

When you go for your alignment, make sure you specify that you want to get as close to -0.5deg camber on the rears whilst still keeping ~0mm toe. They may not be able to give you the full -0.5deg camber (esp when you are starting from such a high neg camber), but it is more important that they don't give you heaps of +ve rear toe.

-1deg camber is still quite acceptable, but you may need to flip your tyres on your rims halfway through their life (only if they are symmetrical tread pattern of course) to get good wear across the tread and good tyre life.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
