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

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • 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?
