Love the look of the 33 Billy. Something all whale owners should aspire to. I'm in Sorrento ATM, weather is still jive hut you can feel it's gonna turn any second. Anyone know a good weather app for iPhone?

not sure if you can get it on the iphone but i use "Daily Briefing" on my samsung. does its job

I use ozweather, does the job, has rain radar and 7 day forecast etc

you going out in Sorrento tonight? my mate is playing at the Conti again

nice rear parcel shelf 6x9's billy :(

oz weather, takes the feed from the BOM, and shows BOM maps without having to navigate through BOM's archaic website.

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.

you're better off running camber setting which will improve lifespan of tyres. In this case, you should aim for about -1.5deg on front and about -0.5 on rear. The rear you will want as neutral as possible. This will depend on height of car and the range of your camber setup.

Ive got two rear camber bush kits on the rear, best could get with my height was -1 degree

Talk to your suspension workshop regarding best setup. I recommend Traction Tyres in Rowville. They will point you in the right direction based on what you plan to use your car for.

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

The more front negative camber the better. As you turn through corners, car leans onto the outside wheel, enforcing positive camber. By dialing in negative camber, the positive camber occuring through the turn balances this out and applies more tyre to the road. Hence better grip/traction through the turn. So, if anything, less understeering.

The rear you would like minimum camber, as to provide maximum grip during acceleration (more grip to the road). However, having too little negative camber and going through a corner will create positive camber and may cause you to spin out if accelerating due to the smaller tyre footprint.

Basic explanation, so dont shoot me down with specifics

Camber = serious business

that explanation only works for RWD as well, cos AWD geometry is completely different.

Not that Kris is ever gonna get anything about camber, cos all he's interested in is going in a straight line from a traffic light :(

Thanks for all the comments ppl :(

Nankangs..?

Any good, I thought they were some pov pack tyres like NEXEN's, which I have used before...

They are alright for now, pretty grippy. Not that I care, they are rears and dont last long anyway :/

haha true that. Basing my jibbajabba off my car, awd cars go speak to your suspension workshop.

hmmm If i get GTR brembo's on the front, then I wont be able to run r32 stockies on the front anymore :(

Might have to settle for some R33 GTST calipers

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
