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

RGII_CWestLabs_S2K.jpg

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

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
