new around here guys!

we have an old skyline r31 gxe which was my dad's first car, we've had it since brand new i think!

its now come to the point where we either have to just sell it to a car junk yard or one of me or my younger siblings take it.

im 20, ive always hated the car! since it was ugly and really never wanted to be seen in it!!!!!

it was almost sold a few years back but my dad has grown an emotional attachment to it *LOL i wonder why the rear tyres are always bald*

today it just snapped to me, that i wanted to "do" it up...

but theres a few problems with it

so im just wondering would it be worth my time and money "doing" it up or just selling it?

im not a car enthusiastic but slowly starting to become one!!

thanks in advance for any replies :)

Ouch ^^

Hurts man.

The 31's grow on you but i would never recommend modding one unless its for you to enjoy, it most definitely wont be a money making experience.

Shoot over to www.r31skylineclub.com, check out the Wiki and threads they have all the info you will seek there

      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.
