I mean, I hate to be that guy (cause I'll be poking the bear of further commentary)

But you won't need additional mysterious arms for the car to not VEER left. I have stock arms. The car does not veer anywhere and toe is absolutely adjustable, as is camber (with an adjustable bush). If you have some scenario where the car is low as f*** then you may need aftermarket arms to dial camber OUT, but camber in and of itself does not make the car veer anywhere.

Toe does. And toe is adjustable from the factory.

Having 0 toe will result in the car going SLIGHTLY to the left on most roads due to the angle. It won't 'veer' and it won't make your tyres wear any faster, as they are following the curvature of the road. Dialling in alignment to counter that would be exactly as much wear as turning slightly to counter the curvature of the road because you're literally just baking that into the suspension.

(more or less, someone pls correct me).

At this point you need to post a vid, because every time you make a post Mr Silviaz, you get one step closer to explaining what is going on and 0.9 steps in another tangientally confusing area that requires much more clarification.

All good mate no problem at all! I get what you're saying as well. I haven't got a video on me atm, but this video right here is exactly what's happening with me at the 0:29 - 0:34 mark in the video

. Exactly as the guy is doing it, hands off the steering wheel and starts to slowly go in the other lane. Only difference is that mine is going to the left side and veers to the left lane slower than in the video. As mentioned I'll likely leave it for now. 

Apologies if I'm being a pain in the arse! I know I've been harping on about this topic for (I just realised for 2 weeks)

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
