yeah i had that tyre wear on my car when i first got

some whiteline stuff sorted out, it still does it a tiny bit, but it got shitloads better, camber, castor and pineapple kit, from memory only camber will fix, but the other stuff is good too

ok... here is a 33 running stock-ish camber at full lock: (and no it's not me lol)

notice how the wheel is roilled over and not making much contact

now here is a 33 with more camber:

sweet :) thanks for that

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

i think v8 supercars are using ove -5degrees camber on the fronts

when the car leans into the corner the whole tire will contact the road, but chews through tyres on street :)

one is full lock the other is quarter bad example is bad hamish !

i dont have time to find another 33 on full lock with apt camber.... so this:

will have to do for now :)

Hamish is right, according to the centerline guys a track car runs between -4.5 to -5 for more grip, which I what I want.

My front is too low, needs to be raised :) upper arm was hitting the wheel arch hahaha

blasphemy!

billy how pulled are your front guards?

wanna see how mine will go with 9.5 -3 et

They have had a bit of massaging done by me and the front tyres....

It scrubs on full lock and around sharper turns and that running so much camber and 215/40, don't like your chances of getting a 235 under there. Maybe just a 10mm spacer will do you, if that.... I'll show you pics tomorrow

umm hame you posted two pics with the opposite wheels showing which doesn't get the point across imo. in anycase, castor affects dynamic camber, which is what happens when you apply lock. static camber is only half the picture. the more castor angle you have, the more the outsidewheel will camber when turning. after that it gets way too complicated for my tired liddle head to comprehend

also, U2 was FRICKEN awesometown

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
