got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Were you in Tassie?

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

I.ll scan it in, didn't realise the quality was so bad

Installed an 8 point earthing kit and, yes, including the transmission bracket when earthing an M35 makes a bit of difference to gear shifts (still nowhere near a shift kit obviously)

dropped mine at the workshop to finally get the revalve kit for the front shocks fitted: hopefully handles like a demon again once I get it back...

All that's left now is to get the roof rail replacement kit fitted and painted, than tidy up the engine bay...

compression test yesterday :(

#1 - perfect :D

#2 - perfect :D

#3 - prefect :D

#4 - perfect :D

at this point I thought I had dodged a bullit and I may just have to replace plug's

#5 - perfect :down:

#6 - F#$king nothing :(:(

P.S.anyone want a cheap root....need cash quickly....spooning after is extra!

wang some oil down that bore, if it comes up then its the rings orring lands

if it stays down then its in the head which would mean that you don't have to rebuild the block

rnd 3! the first settings on the front are way off cos i changed the steering rack ends

and aster is adjusted with the stock bushes, you only get a tiny bit of adjustment tho

Edited by pipster11
am i lining it up correctly, does that say -16.96 degrees left and +3.02 Degrees right for caster?

yeah, might ask them about that cos it still pulls a tiny bit to the left (no road camber correction) but i guess they only measured the caster on one side?

Here is my suspension settings recipe. You obviously can't get this amount of castor without adjustable arms so i have adjustable castor arms and adjustable rear camber arms. Can't afford the front camber adjusters at this point. You can get a small amount of adjustment with eccentrtic bushes. The value of lots of castor is straight line stability at high speed. If you can't get as much as you want you want them at maximum and then back off rhs to 1/4 degree less than lhs.

Nissan Stagea RS4T

Front

Caster Left positive 6 degrees

Right positive 5.75 degrees

Camber Left 1.0 degree negative

Right 1.0 degree negative

Toe in Left zero

Right zero

Rear

Camber Left negative 0.5 degrees

Right negative 0.5 degrees

Toe in Left minus 2mm

Right minus 2mm

There has to be an error in the print out. With that much + caster on the left and so little on the right it would be undriveable.

You would probably find your wheel hitting the rear of the wheel arch on the left side and the front of the wheel arch on the right.

Stagea is in the shop getting GPS tracking fitted to compliment the alarm/kill switch/club lock. f**k thieves! :rofl2:

Goes for a dyno tune next week. Aiming for 220-230 awkw from the stock injectors :cool:

Then next is Z32 afm and 550cc injectors.

who's fitting up the gps tracking? can ya PM me with a cost, with the amount of imports getting stolen in Adelaide lately, i'd def be keen to get some fitted to my off road stagea!

ready for motor out......1 hours work to remove the whole front of the car....gotta love M35's :)

Good effort! Shit, you dont mess about do you :P Is it repairable, or will you be sourcing a new engine?

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
