Hi all,

Hoping you can help me out I had a Stagea for a year or so before my parents fell so in love with it they bought it from me (should never have let them drive it, I just never got it back)

Anyway another year or more on and the front tyres are chopping out really bad on the inside (well its always had camber that I liked its just that the folks drive it sedately so the tyres weat uneven) and I have scoured these forums and the net for a solution ... is there a camber adjustable strut top available anywhere in the world or only the ones I've found for coilovers. any ideas on where i'd find a kit of any kind...

Any help much appreciated

Cheers,

Alan

the majority of stageas/skylines use adjustable upper wishbones to change camber on the front end. i'm assuming the car is standard? there is a possibility it is the toe settings that are out - toe in/out is what will chew through tyres :)

when was the last time you had a wheel alignment done? should be the first thing you look at doing

MIKE is right, start with a wheel alignment and also check the caster arm bushes. They are oil filled and may have leaked.

If you do go with some sort of camber adjustment, be aware that AWD and RWD stagea's have different front suspension.

    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, much easier to work with it now it's free!  
    • I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
