Gday all

I have just lowered the Stag using BC coilovers which I am very happy with, I was worried that they where going to be way to hard for the Tassie Rd's but they are very comfortable.

My ride hight is 340 front and 350 rear I am concerned that i am running with to much camber so I am wondering what people are doing, whether using adjustable camber arms and if so what brand or if you are just leaving it as is.

cheers any info would be good

The reason you want to correct it is with lots of negative camber (youll have around -2.5 deg at that height) you chew out the inside of your tyres very quick!

And you will max out the stock ecentric adjuster bolts thus needing arms.

not 100% correct. you can run stacks of camber and have your tyres last for a very long time

it is toe settings that destroy tyres :P

r33/r34/s14/s15 rear arms are the same

Slam it, add camber arms, wear tyre's out... scratch head...

Im installing Camber Arms on Thursday...

I currently have 3.0 degree's in the rear :P .

Im going to try my luck with Only camber arms and max the Ecentic Bolts.

I'll post up my results Thursday.

Either way, I will be pulling them back to 0.5 degree's or till the tyre wants to touch the gards, which ever of the two occur :P .

Toe arms may be on the menu at this rate...

Do it once, do it right. Indeed :)

I got bored this afternoon and decided to install the camber arms.

Only by eye, that I can tell, the rears still stand on and angle.. so abit more to go.

I was shocked by the amount of Toe it currently has. I drove it down the drive way to turn it around... tyres didnt appreciate it :ermm:

So Im off to get some Toe Arms in the morning.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
