Sup guys. A huge fan of skylines and wanted to do a coverage for my blog and our site, Just Stance.

Was wondering if there were are skylines in this forum that are into the stance/hellaflush scene.

The coverage will go on http://www.juststance.com

Let me know :nyaanyaa:

lol @ scene. sorry William, anyone who comes on this forum and mentions any scene whether it be "drift scene", "stance scene", "tuner scene" will be shot down in flames. Think of it as a language difference between americans and aussies. "scene" for us implies a bunch of guys giving each other reacharounds for being more elitist than others... think of it as hipsters for cars.

Australian laws aren't too kind on low low stance and poke, so most guys run on what we call "4x4 stance". Adjustable ride heights like bags etc are also illegal to use while on the road, so that rules that out too.

There's also a massive collection of pretentious wankers who own skylines that reckon any aesthetic mods to the car's stance or wheel fitment are an abomination as the skyline's a "track only car"... these guys will usually never put their cars on a track anyway, but they'd like to think if they ever got on the track their sunken fitment and 4x4 stance will perform better than those they hate on.

There are some of us who don't really care much for the laws or the track only wankers, but few and far between. Good luck! There's some sweet cars owned by guys on here that don't get coverage on HF and other blogs, so it'd be nice for a change.

Stance is more so to do with the ride height and Hellaflush is more so with wheel fitment.

I think they both come hand in hand and go well with each other.

Fuck the 4 x 4 stance.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
