Long time admirer and dreamer but I have just recently bought my first skyline and I'm pretty happy with what I have got. Always liked the R33 shape, so since selling my latest daily (wrx) I have purchased this fine example. It needs a front bar (GTR replica for this guy), some new head lights as the previous owner has tech screwed the current front abortion through them. FMIC could do with a refresh (got mate with a 32 GTR one that I will probably use) and I plan on getting it down to the guys at unigroup asap for a dyno check and tune if required. Still has hicus so will need to get rid of that and the abs light flashes which is annoying. Compression tested it before I bought it and it came up high 140's cold across all six chucked a bore scope down but couldn't tell if it was forged or not.......previous seller knew nothing about the car as mods were on it when he bought it.

Mods as far as I can tell (I would appreciate if anyone has any info or recognises the car and knows any history I would love to know)

GT3582r unsure of rear housing

Split fire coil packs

Sard fuel reg

Billet rail

Injectors (brand unsure)

Haltech e11v2

Turbo back exhaust w/external gate and screamer pipe

stainless manifold

Greddy forward plenum (unsure if genuine)

Eboost 2 (12, 16, 20psi settings)

Catch can

"Monza" fmic with piping

Turbo smart Bob

Ksport coil covers

Strut brace

DBA front and rear slotted rotors

19" (moven) wheels 245 35 tyres

Side skirts and rear bar

Shitty Sony 6x9 and JVC head deck

Greddy turbo timer which keeps ignition on but not the car running??? I've checked its running on "ign" and right switch at the back.

      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.
