Chaps,

Got a couple of quick questions I'm sure someone will be able to answer. I've done a search, but there is a mixed variety of opinions/results, and I wanted to make sure before I start ripping shit apart.

1) I'm told the R34 GTT (2000 model) has factory eccentric camber bolt adjustment. Is this correct?

2) Working of the above being correct, how much camber adjustment will I get? I've read anywhere between 0.5 degrees, and 1.5 degrees, but more toward the lesser side of adjustment.

3) I'm running a set of 17" Work CR Kais, 17x8 +35. Given the relative sensible approach to these offsets, I'm imagining that with a small drop, not a huge amount of camber adjustment is going to be necessary, but I'd like to hear from others who have done similar.

4) If all the above is incorrect, and the factory system has 0 adjustment, a KCA348 control arm upper outer bushing camber correction kit will work, yeah?

Thanks in advance gents. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Shazza

More of an FYI then anything, but I chucked the car up in the air and had a look last night. I can confirm that there is NO eccentric camber adjustment bolts factory on my car, and after speaking with Whiteline in length, I've opted for the KCA348 kit as a means to adjust. It doesn't give a HUGE amount of adjustment (Only between 0.5 - 1.0 degrees neg) but according to my calculations with my wheel offsets/width, that should be enough for the time being.

Here is a picture of the kit installed. It is blurry, but you get the idea.

I'm running 18x9 +35 all round on my R34 without any camber adjustment on the front. I have HKS coilovers but they're not real low at the moment.

Sorry to bombard your post.

An adjustment at bob jane stopped my rear rub, perhaps ask them?

I bought the lip from a member on here. He had bought it for his wife's R34 but then decided to sell the car & all the bits he had bought for it.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
