Hey people, My RS-V is wearing all 4 tyres on the inside pretty badly, I'm going to be getting BC coilovers to suit the model and am wondering if there are other parts I should be buying and doing at the same time to reduce the amount of inside wear.

Toe/camber arms etc.

Any advice welcome.

It's running standard suspension atm + whiteline swaybars.

my biggest issues (once i worked out the adjustable camber arms cos thats your first issue) was my rear toe. chewed through a rear set kinda quickly.
i had BC BR coilovers on my RS4-S quite low.
even when i ran negative camber, with the correct toe settings and a little more front caster, my wear was minimal for daily and highway driving.

Had an alignment when tyres were last changed about a year ago.

The rears look worse than the fronts. Could you provide links for what you have bought. Front Camber, Rear Camber, Front Caster and Rear Toe.

I bought Cusco castor and camber arms for the front or if you just want a small amount of adjustment you can get adjustable bushes.

Can't remember the brand of the rear camber arms but you probably won't need "toe arms" you should have enough adjustment already.

Seems odd to just buy bits when they may make no difference. I would get a trusted suspension shop to take a look first, and replace any of the factory stuff that's worn out, eg. ball joints, tie rod ends and bushes. Got any decent shops in your area?

Also, if you intend to lower via the BC's, you may need a bunch more bits to be able to get the alignment right again after the drop. What you need will depend on how low you go, so decide that first. For skylines there were a bunch of SydneyKid group buys that had all that info. I dont know if he did any Stagea group buys.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
