What tires are you using atm?

2k..

f/r adjustable swaybars - 500

second hand lsd - say 800

aggressive street wheel alignment + corner weighting - $350

Strip the car (start with boot and rear) depending on personal preference/usage - free

Bit of money left over for install help if you cant diy/some replacement bushes.

Depending on how low it is, you might not need adjustable sussy arms etc. The factory stuff gives a small range of adjustment and is generally enough to do an aggressive street setup if the car's not too low (check the bushes condition though).

have just got a bride cuga for driver and r33 gtr passenger seat :)

now getting sway bars and stripping :)

can't find an LSD for under a grand though :(

Just keep an eye out for the LSD, it''ll pop up sooner or later!

Did you get adjustable sway bars ? As because you are stripping the car, it will obviously affect f/r weight balance and also weight/force on each end's tires affecting grip/oversteer/understeer and the adjustable sway bars will come in handy for correcting it your personal preference/driving style along with pressure changes in f/r tires.

Wow that was poorly worded but it's friday night and i can't be arsed to recycle it into something better closedeyes.gif

Nice one on the seats! Luckily for me i have found my stocko 33 seats to be really good for me (probably because i'm sized like a typical japanese man lol).

I like duncan's suggestion too lol.

yea, whiteline adjustables, for the swaybars.

Is the carpet in r32s one piece? I think the wife would appreciate the front for now but I don't want rear passengers.

how much weight does the sound deadening add? I don't wanna work all day for like .75kg lol

you think i should stick to the stock diff atm and buy camber arms/ trailing arms etc

yea thats lucky with your seats...my drivers side was rooted (side bolster as usual) and the passenger had no back panel (some random ripped it off, grrr)

      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.
