Im about to install all the adjustable camber castor traction rods in my car and want to find somewhere to take it that can adjust it to the settings I give them. Ive heard that that the normal places like tyrepower kmart bob jane etc. don't really do a good job when it comes to doing a specific setup with all the adjustable gear due to there equipment not being that good is this true?

But anyway whoever has a good place that they have had adjust there alignment settings with all the adjustable gear let me know.

Thanks

definitely Traction Tyres - don't add extra 0's onto the quote just because they're performance orientated, unlike some other performance suspension workshops

Will give good prices for SAU members as well :)

Try Craig from Trackside in Bayswater.

He did an awesome job on my 34, took his time and did it properly unlike 90% of places out there, he does alot of old classics and track cars so he knows his stuff.

Lol a mate at work took his 4WD to a place and they actually asked him what that bar was that runs from his diff to the body, there are some shocking places out there so be carefull who you take it to.

I went to jax quickfit in seaford when i put my adjustable camber arms in, tried to get into a few know places but were all booked up or i couldnt get there when they were available, decided just to take it to a normal place as i only wanted tyres changed and the rear camber arms adjusted, they have the wireless machines for each wheel and asked me what i wanted the camber and castor i wanted it adjusted to, erik is the guy to see and is also a skyline owner.

Just need to make sure they have a hicas lock bar for the alignment, I took my car down to tyrepower in rowville for a 4 wheel alignment and they did the front then were like ohhh u have hicas ... eerr we dont have the lock bar thing to do the rear alignment :S

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
