Any progress? I have a similar problem. I set my coilovers to the same height yet 1 side sits higher, looks like it sits further out the guard, has 0deg camber and a couple mm toe out (as opposed to the other side a couple degs neg camber and slight toe in). Hopefully going to fix it all with adjustable arms, but makes me worried something like the cradle is bent.

Can I ask what size tyres/wheels you have on the rear and how much guard work went into it?

i get it too man, to a lesser extent tho. ive change a lot of stuff on my car and it's never changed how the 2 sit relative to eachother. thinking it might be a chassis issue, as ive even changed the subframe and it still sits the same.

that looks like a massive difference when you see pictures of the whole car! . a mate of mine has this problem with his 32 (same subframe/suspension) , we changed heaps of stuff , we got it close(er) and just started using a small spacer (3mm for him , but it was 6 which looked about as bad as yours) . are you using subframe lock washer thingys? (pinapples?), loosen them and see if you can shift the subframe across at all (usually a sign of stuffed bushes) . new lca bushes and a good wheel alignment is about the most effective we found so far :)

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
