After Some Input Regarding Wheel Alignment

Hi I'm just hoping for some input with the wheel alignment settings on my r32 GTR. I'm looking for the best compromise for track days, hillclimbs as well as street duties - mainly through the hills. Iv just put on 255/40 17 toyo r1r tyres all round on 33 GTR rims. Suspension is lowered king springs and bilstein shocks. I'm unsure of spring rates but it is fairly stiffly sprung. Everything else is stock suspension wise. It sits at 345mm front and rear measured from the gaurd to the centre of the rim. I realize I will be limited by not having adjustable arms for camber etc. But just want some tried settings to aim for. The car has about 250 rwkw and a fairly tight LSD ( recently tightened up ) currently it chews the inside of all the tyres but the alignment could be anywhere at the moment.

I remember reading a thread from sydneykid about this but can't seem to find it now.

Anyone who has some experience with this I would like to hear your opinions. Cheers

Best to get an alignment. No point in us speculating what might be right / wrong with your setup. Scrubbing the insides of tyres is usually a toe-out problem, but it could be camber, which could be bad setting or shot bushes.

Get some numbers of how it is now.

Also, try contacting the guys at Whiteline for some advice re alignment settings (they have, or used to have, some recommended numbers for the 32 GT-R).

Cheers for the reply mate and the info about whiteline, i will look into that. Just to be clear I am getting a wheel alignment, just chasing some information regarding what camber, caster and toe settings to tell them to aim for. Hoping to find someone who has had success in finding a good compromise between track and street duties.

Thanks

I have a Stagea (different I know) with a similar setup - Bilsteins, TE37s with 255 40 17 tyres, GTR LSD. If nothing else you should try to get a heavier rear sway bar - it will make a heap of difference on cornering with no adverse effect on ride.

Toe in - you want zero front and rear with up to 2mm toe out front acceptable but none rear.

Castor - you want more than is possible without adjustable castor arms - I am running just under 6deg with adjustable arms so you want as much as possible with what ever you have. Short of new arms you can get eccentric bushes from Whiteline.

Camber - mine are set for the track with adjustable arms front and rear and about 3 deg negative (although there is no obvious excessive wear apparent so far). Again short of new arms you can get eccentric bushes but there should be little bit of adjustment available on your rears (not sure about the front) so you may be able to get 1/2 to 1 deg neg camber.

My set up works well for me on the road and on the track. I suspect it will work for you too but hopefully some GTR racers will share their settings with you!

      Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
