Hey Guys,

My name is Bobby , I am new to SAU forums but no stranger to owning Jap imports etc.

I used to have an R32 (in my avatar) , since then had an S15 and now just drive my ute.

I work with Dohmar and grabbed a non complied 33 late last year, planning on doing some hill climbs, motorkhanas, track days etc.

The paintwork on the car is a bit rough and it was an automatic when I got it, its now manual with short shifter and puck clutch.

Got Marky Marc at ET's to do some exhaust work for us with a screamer and flutes out the back , slowly but surely adding small bolt on's until I can spend more time and money later in the year once I finish working on the house.

I started a blog to generate a bit of interest from friends, family and anybody that wants to donate goodies marketing.

Check out the link if you get bored, I doubt I will get to any interstate events but for the Adelaide guys I look forward to seeing some of you other guys out there in 2013 ! :action-smiley-069:

Cheers

      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.
