keen to see a vid of the cammed up sss, good luck for wednesday man, any changes to the z since you last ran?

No changes, just working on my driving. Changed the gearbox oil so it no longer crunches going into 4th gear, might be able to select 4th instead of bouncing off the limiter. The SSS goes really well, keeps up with my Z no problem and i'm gunna try line him up because my mate will be recording the night.

sweet, throw some vids up if you get a chance. my mates got an na (vg30de) 300zx they do go really well. if only the were easier to work on lol

They aren't that hard to work on, i can work on mine no problems.

haha niche cars such as v35/v36 and V8's don't apply to the norm of the N/A section...

This forum actually reminds me of reading the N/A forum on Calais Turbo back when I was in high school and no one could afford a turbo lol, most of the same "mods" are mentioned (cutting AFM mesh anyone?)

+1. keen to know what cams (i'm guessing most likely poncams) and whether it's running a nistune as well. i want to put some poncams and a nistune into the missus SSS but i'm not allowed (plus can't afford it)

Tomei Poncams 260 degree 11.25mm lift. Has the Poncams, Mild head work(shaved etc),pod+CAI, extractors, catback & a chipped Ecu.

Nope. - Poncams. Strange but true, I double taked the first time too

yeah i remember he told me they were poncams but i wasn't too sure myself. All the cars are on regular street tyres so don't expect magnificent times but it should be a fun night. Anybody in sydney is free to come down and have a look themselves :).

with those mods he should be putting out enough power to give a NA skyline a scare on a dyno, let alone on a track in a car that weighs about 200kg less. should easily get into the 14's without too much trouble.

and yeah that's the poncams. they aren't that lumpy either. good street cam.

grr wish i was in sydney still, I've seen one natro 33 at willowbank and it wasn't racing. BTW I'm at willowbank at least twice a month if you see a grey and black two tone 33 with green ps come say hi :)

I'm actually expecting him to give me a good chop going down the strip, thats why i'm going to try get him in my lane for a run.

Hey guys, results are in and i have to say sorry as you won't be too impressed!

The Corolla(88kw bigport) ran 16.8 sec with ECU problems

The Cammed SSS did a PB of 15.449 @ 88mph (2.5 60ft)

My 300ZX did 14.58 @ 95mph (2.279 60ft)

    • 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.
