Hey Aaron, I thought I had passed all the stuff on. I was sure you'd keep it all :) Glad to see you on the forum.

If there is anything I can do for you mate, please don't hesitate to ask. So sorry to hear you were involved in a crash through no fault of your own. I know you treated that car very well and i'm sure the engine has plenty of life in it yet. You have the receipts so you know what that engine cost so I hope you get a good price for it. It was a great set-up for a street car. The car itself was probably the nicest R32 I've owned and i've owned about a dozen. I'd say it's as nice or nicer than the one I've got now which I plan to keep for a long time.

As to gtr_23qu's question on power the engine builder was told it needed to handle 600hp but honestly a decent stock motor will handle that. The base N1 Nur engine is supposedly rated to 600hp anyway but this one was blueprinted and has a 1.2mm tomei head gasket fitted. I would be comfortable pushing it to 400kw atw+ for a street car. It has a few key bits that will enable it to handle some decent boost and power.

lol, well I know what it cost and it's not cheap. N1 block, N1 oil and water pumps, ported head, N1 pistons, tomei head gasket, tomei timing belt, all blue-printed and all other bits are brad new down to ever last nut/bolt/seal whatever. a lot more than what is replaced in the average rebuild. hope you get good money for it Aaron. :)

      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.
