Hey denham,

In order to get a wheel alignment, you gotta go to someone who has a Hicas lock, cuase some places dont have it. Thre's a place in oakleigh that I used to go to get mine done. Tyre factory in dandenong can do it, but last time my mate went in there they damaged his front skirt and then denyed it, same with my mates dad's VXSS..so dont go there.

If you ring up a place, just tell them its got 4ws like the honda preludes, and if they can do the honda's they can do your skyline man.

Regards

Nah man i never got it done, I cant be f.u.c.k.ed, I think the problem is bigger than i thought so im just gonna leave it till my wheel falls off. I think my Pit arm, or steering arm is f.ucked, its dripping some sort of oil, power steering oil i think..i dont whats going on down there, we'll see how it goes, i definatley need the bushes changed though, might do it myself depending on how hard it is, any one know?

Skyline's do not require a special tool like Prelude's - you can take it pretty much anywhere to get a fair job done.

I used to manage a tyre/alignment shop for years and can tell you that most alignment technicians have absolutly no idea what they are doing. I would suggest going to somewhere that only does suspension and alignment work (not just any old tyre shop)

Hi,

There are two places that I would highly recomend as they are experts in this field and will do a great job.

1. Traction Tyres in Rowville.

These guys are one of the largest motorsport tyre distributors in Melbourne for Yokohama. They set up a lot of race cars and know there stuff. My GTR is heading in their on Monday for a full alignment.

2. Tru Track in North Melbourne.

Speak with Ralph and tell him Shaun from GT Sports sent you. He deals with a lot of modified and lowered cars and is very well known in Melbourne for knowing his stuff. He will make sure your car is spot on!!

Hope this helps,

Shaun.

thankz guys!

got it done and was out 6 degrees at the back left and 2 degrees and the front left!

Drives normal now

I think drivin with that space saver i ws using out the back caused a bit of the problem cause it was 1 inch smaller than my other rims and everytime i accelerated hard it flung the ass out to the left!

Mansons in bayswater..excellent they know their stuff

Bob Jane in Ringwood...used to be owned by Jim Richards and the guys who were there then are still there and are good too.

There's 3 types of people in the world, those who can count, and those who can't :)

Got to agree about Manson's, and also Traction Tyres

hmmm...did I actually get my wheels aligned...I think I have five...hmmm

c'mon....I have a stressful job alright...its hard at uni.

The third which I forgot to include for some reason...was bridgestone in airport west..they have an almost brand new computer and stuff they also did what I asked without too much fuss and got it right.

Cheers,

Russ

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
