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

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
