gUYS,

The steering box in my DR doesnt feel right.

Wen driving, the steering wheel doesnt self centre after turning a corner.

Im not sure if its a 'lack or castor' thing or my box is overly adjusted.

It feels nice when driving, no tight spots or weird noises, just doesnt self centre...

Also,

Wheel tub clearance issues.

Anyone have this on a lowered R30?

Im rubbing everywhere (wheel specs are 15x8 -9, to clear my s14 brakes)

I want to stay using these wheel, so looking forward to seeing/ reading about some idea's to solve the problem.

Thats about it,

Cheers,

Dan

Not self centering is often an over adjusted steering box issue. Is there any play in the wheel when stationary?

Wheels?? I have 16 x 7 on front at +38 & 16 x 8 on rear also at +38 with zero scrubbing, so a -9 offset might just be the problem, as stock wheel offset was about +25.

Cheers, D

Dennis,

Will it have play when stationary with a over adj box, or just when the box is adj properly (pending box condition and age of course)

Im going to work on it tommorow (having cars that dont live at your ouse is shit) so ill check the box and get back to this thread.

Cheers,

im having the same front clearence isues too!, heres wat im doin

fairly extreme i no, but got to the point were wheels would bind up, no amount of hammering could fix it.

wheels with still hit up top. just couldnt bring myself to fully tub it!

well worth it cos i will be able run more castor and more lock!

heres sum insperation from nigel!

hmmm yeah Im not that keen haha.

Damn 15" wheels and having to lower it so it looks half decent.

How do all the crazy low jap dr30's get away with it?

Ydr030,

what size wheels you got and how low is your r30?

yea i get wat u saying, some off them got kits so look heaps lower than they are,

17x9s not sure of offset, cos of new outer dish.

cars low as front subframe is like 50-60mm off the deck, lol

rears are 17x9.5 -10.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
