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.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
