Hi iv got an r32 drift car. I'm trying to figure out what wheel alignment to run in the from to help get max lock,

It's got modded front knuckles, adjustable lca adjusted out 25mm each side, offset rack spacers from gktech and hard race tierod ends, adjustable camber arms also, and adjustable castor arms,

Any info would be great thank you

First thing is go to a reputable wheel aligner place that does race cars that realise 0.5 of a deg actually matters and dont just throw in a 'its close' wheel alignment

re: camber 4 deg is 1) might be hard to get and 2) it maybe too much as there is a balance between getting turn it / wash out on the front and as much contact patch on the front tyres as you can under drift

always run max caster and 'x' amount of toe out 4mm might be a good starting point

a wheel alignment is a very important thing but its not just the front it has to work with the rear to get a good overall balance... and every driver has different preferences

basics to start with for referenceF

Front

Camber: - 3

Castor : 7

Toe out - 4mm

Rear:

Camber: -0.5

Toe: depends how much you have driven, tyres, tyre pressures, power, style etc but start at 0 and work in from there to get more grip

other stuff will come as you drive more

Iv had it setup on

Front

-3 camber

7 degree castor

And 4mm total toe out,

Tyre Achilles at 29psi,

Rear was

-3 camber

Can't remember the toe

And I was running highfly Tyres at 50 psi .

That was with an rb20 engine at 330 horse,

Iv upgraded my setup since then . To an rb25 400 horse atw . And changed all my knuckles and arms up from being way I now wanna change my alignment . I live in rockingham so need to find a decent wheel alignment shop.

cool front is sussed pretty much what i run just a bit more castor and more toe out

rear way too much camber at -3 should be as close to zero as possible to get most fwd bite as possible but also a little neg camber gives a little more grip and control while going sideways and when the car squats it goes more towards zero hence the - 0.5 a side or 1 total

400hp you will start to have to add a bit of grip in the rear by lowering tyre pressures and maybe a litte bit of toe in if not neutral and also balance it with softening your rear coilover dampners to suitable level

rear camber adjustment you need rear camber arms put in otherwise there is f.a adjustment

Any idea on what toe I should run on the rear ? Ill set the camber to -1

I also run 18x10 rims in the rear with 235 40 18 highfly Tyres so that gives me more tractio as well aye ?

id set the toe to 2mm in total ie: 1mm a side

start your tyres at 45psi and your coilovers half down soft on the dampners see how it feels and progressive adjust one thing at a time ie: tyre pressures or dampners

running too much toe to get grip is a bit of mistake you can go backwards with too much control grip levels with tyre pressures, quality of tyre, dampner settings and spring rates

as you drive more and get better/ more confident and drive harder you will end up gettting to the point when you are chasing as much grip as possible but start there get as much seat time as you can and work through it progressively

    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
