r33 gtst 2 door stock everything.

apart from 17"s 225 45 on the front

245 45 on the rear.

i have searched but everyone was about drifting. i just want a fast street setup.

thanks to whoever can help.

I remember lots of threads that weren't about drifting setups.

The rules are fairly simple.

  • As little front toe in as you can live with. Ideally it should be zero toe when the car is driving (the road forces the wheels backwards relative to the car which decreases toe in - hence you need some negative toe static in order to get zeroish toe dynamic).
  • As much caster as you can wind in, assuming you have adjustable caster rods.
  • About 1° neg camber. A little more if you spend more time carving the hills than driving to work in the suburbs.
  • At the rear, 0.5° - 0.75° neg camber. Close to zero toe.

There are variations on those numbers which comes down to tyre wear issues and personal preference. More toe in will have the effect of evening up wear on the inner edges from more neg camber. Toe in on the rear makes it more stable (like an anchor dragging behind) and more toe out at the rear will make it much more willing to change directions (read that as being a lot less stable). If you like a nice safe rear end, then toe in is for you. Toe out at the front increases initial turn in willingness, but also increases inner edge wear.

Thats a pretty good summary of what you should go for on a street car. Something like zero toe front and rear or 1-2mmtoe out front if having abit of underzteer. About 7 degrees castor, -1 to -1.5 front cAmber and -.5 to -1 reAr camber.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
