Ok guys i remember a while ago i read on the 31 skyline forum about the front wheels having different front camber and 1 wheel sat out a little further than the other side on a 31 skyline, which my 31 coupe has the same thing.

Just put it down to being an old car and no idea what could have happened to it over its 25 odd year life.

Now the thing is i just put new wheels on my wifes wrx on the weekend and now its very obvious that has more positive camber on the drivers side front wheel

even though it has standard suspension all round and she bought it brand new in 2009 so i know its never been in an accident at all, its done just over 100k

and everything seems fine. It has always worn out the inside of the front right tyre first so id say its been like this from new just never really noticed cause the

standard wheels tuck in so far i guess.

So the question is are manufacturers slack, is there a reason for this or am i missing something?

Are you talking about different amount of camber, or a different amount of tyre wear? I've never heard of different camber. Castor is usually a little different to compensate for the slope of the road so it tracks straight. Wheels shouldnt stick out any different left to right. What does the alignment sheet say?

Yeah a different amount of camber, more positive camber on the drivers side. it hasn't had an alignment but its easy to see just looking at it and the spirit level says the same. I can't see that you can adjust the camber in any way.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
