hey guys, so ive got to much negative camber and its eating up my rear tires, im planning to get adjustable camber arms, but in the mean time, can i simply jack my car up and turn out the lower shock tubes to increase my ride hight (only like 20-30 mm) so what i want to know is, can i straight up adjust my ride hight in the rear without needing an allignment or anything like that???

thanks!

ud be better off creating a new hole, instead of elongating the existing one. obviously u want to leave some decent meat between the 2 holes, i dont know how much there is, if it was me id probably drill a new hole right down near the bottom, then weld some metal on top with a hole that lines up to reinforce it.

my suspension can have its ride height adjusted simply by unbolting the bottom legs and turning them, i dont have a clue what your talking about drilling new holes

get a wheel alignment is a start lol

wat car u got? im guessing 34 from the pic

they have adjustable rear arms from factory but only with mildish adjustment

if you cant afford the car, why have you got it???

you getting a brain is a start, lol

i thought it obvious to all that the car would have gotten a car an alignment when lowered, what kind of a shop would let it leave without doing one in the first place! so yes the factory ones are fully turned out

ive asked if i will need a new alignment with just raising the hight 20mm or so in the rear

and yes i can afford it and its prolly better then what uve got

when u said turn out i thought u meant making the hole bigger. i guess it was possibly a bit of false hope that it was a more advanced question than the same stuff we get in this section every day.

yes u have to get an alignment when u change the height, mainly because of dynamic toe, ur toe being out will wear ur tyres quicker than camber, and cant be rotated as well as camber wear.

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
