Newfagz don't know bout demon camber

In other news my wheels are getting made this week and will be here by end of Jan

So true!

What wheels you getting again?

Car was at Centerline today, drives nice and straight now :P

Funny thing is im running -4.5 degrees camber front and -2.5 rears. Fronts would be upper arms and lowness combined haha

Pics yeah :blink:

What kind of camber settings would be best for a street car that enjoys a few twisties every now and again?

-1.5 degrees all around?

I don't know much about that kinda stuff so i'm off to do some more research.

Lol demon camber looks like ass. Looks like the car is cocking it's wheel to take a piss like a dog

this... is true

What wheels you getting again?

matte black XD9 17x9.5+17 f and 18x10+18 r w 235/45/17 AD08's f and 235/40/18 KU36 rear

cusco upper arms will probably mean 20mm spacer up front so et will be 17x9.5-3

More tyre on the road the better. Eg billys 4.5 deg camber on front would make te car understeer like a bitch when pushed on corners

err... the point of cambering the fronts is to GET tyre on the road while turning, and hence stop understeer

see pic attached:

race cars run camber for a reason

when you turn your wheels they dont turn evenly as such, they tend to roll over and reduce the contact path, by adding camber, this roll over effect is negated and contact is again made with the road. see above how on the c-west s2k the wheel is turned and the tyre is nearly flat.

4.5 deg camber will be much much better in the twisies/track than stock setup, but will wear the tyres down unevenly for DD purposes

i'm gonna be aiming for -3 deg when i get the new rims

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
