Of all the cars I have owned, I have to say that my R33 gets real dirty real quick! Especially in the wet, you look at your pride and joy in the garage the next day and it looks like you've been out rallying :D

I used to wash the rex every 2nd weekend, I'm washing the R33 every week, sometimes twice a week...

Anyone agree?

My car is as dirty as its owner :)

I have a black skyline .... the ZX is also black n stays cleaner but i think thats because of the 2 pack high gloss paint. Ive had people i know drive past and me wave to them only them not think it was me cos they thought it was a gun metal grey line n not a black one.

My car is black, what can i say - it's a filthy pig 99% of the week! At one stage i was washing it 3 times a week. The other problem is, we have a rule - who ever gets the driveway first has rights to not having their car shat on by the tree's (all that sappy shit that drops off in the rain from the tree's leaves).

Hehe my car which I get in 2 or 3 weeks is white. Have I made a big mistake? :P

whites probly better than you think - It doesn't seem to get dirty, just taks on a shade the colour of the dirt - and becomes a litlle less white....

My silver 32 gets a dirty bum quicker than baby I"VE ever met.... Must be the slipstreaming me thinks...

    • 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.
