Installed Dolphin triple gauge pod, the Defi's stand out slighly less now also thinking i'll install a bypass switch so i can turn the gauges off at night/ RBTs and such

Moved the AVC-R to the top of the steering column, Cant quite see 0-20Km and then 140+ on the speedo and bellow 2k on the tacho. Can't really imagine this being a problem and i can have the AVC-R display speed if i'm at the track/strip.

Instaled and M35 steering wheel a bit of messing around to get it to fit but it looks great. Anyone else done this swap? I haven't plugged the airbag in yet as it has been suggested to me that the C34 computer might not like the newer airbag and things could end badly...

Wraped a pair of Dolphin eyelids in carbon and stuck them on, they look ok but i think i'll give them a couple of coats of clear to get the genuine carbon look.

Installed new 55W/4300K HIDs, much brighter than the ones than the car had in it from Japan.

I should be getting the bodywork/kit fixed up in the next couple of weeks.

Oil change done with Royal Purple, Ryco filter, old stuff was pretty black, have decided i will now be doing them on 7,500kms rather than the 10,000kms the workshop suggested when i had all fluids changed when i bought it. Also attached the new AFM plug which has made a difference to the way it idles (in a good way). So pretty happy atm. Only have to get passenger side cv boots done as they are split and car will be perfect. maybe next payday i think.

Don't leave it too long, otherwise you'll chew out a CV and that ends up a fair bit move expensive.

Just changed the oil and filter. Ended up with a genuine Nissan filter (probably a waste of money) and Motul 8100 Excess 5w40. Going to find something better for next oil change but it needed to be done. Pulled the turbo banjo bolt too and checked to make sure that it wasn't clogged, it was very clean so I'm guessing either the previous owner checked it or I am lucky enough to have a very well looked after car. Either way I'm happy.

yeah i know i had the drivers side done the other week which is when they noticed that other side is split too, drivers side was the worst, ill be very lucky if i don't have to replace that as the inner boot was almost non existant, fingers crossed though.

I think it's probably worth your while; that's a bloody expensive mistake if the car owner isn't 100% switched on.

Obviously don't go in and go bananas, but definitely see if you can speak to the owner, and have a rational discussion about the incident.

Mistakes happen, but if no one makes it known; they can't alter their work procedure. A simple tick sheet can avoid these kinds of issues.

Quick phone photo.. Proper cam photos later.

it looks awesome!!!

but i bet it handles like ass. no offence, but youve put your whole suspension geometry out of whack. i bet the LCAs are angled up all round.

TBH, handling isn't what i'm worried about... Considering I have a proper track car to take care of my speed needs. This really only sees city driving 50km/h, with the occasional beach cruise.

And from a quick look, nothings too badly angled. It handles better than it did before, i'll say that much... lol

Top stuff! :blink:

If I did that; I wouldn't even be able to get out of my garage...

I guess that would save on tyre wear.:thumbsup:

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
