Hey guys this has probably been covered but when I search it brings up a blank white page.

But the question is, I've just chopped out a full set of tires, it's scrubbed out all the insides ie. Camber wear the rear left was really bad. I'm just wondering if this is common and what should I look at doing to fix. I've got coil overs in the front and 17's should I look at adjustable front camber arms and castor rods to start off with?. I've got a new set of tires to go on but I don't want to chop them out too. Thanks

Brad

I had castor rods done a few months ago along with rack ends and a wheel alignment. But I think they f**ked the alignment up, but having no front camber adjustment means they couldn't have got it right anyway?

I figured it would have been covered before but for some reason when I search no matter what it is I just get a blank white page with no writing no header nothing.

And I tried Google but it lists everything from 31-34 and from wheels for sale to what are these wheel posts lol its quite broad in its search

Starting point is look for damage, worn bushes etc and get a full wheel alignment.

A trusty suspension place can do an 11ty point suspension check for a few $ > get under the hoist with him and ask Qs about bushes, rods, knuckles, brackets, suspension Brad

Measure the distance from the wheel centerline straight up to start of the guard. I'm guessing your car is lowered, and lowering adds negative camber as the lower control am is longer than the upper control arm.

Also scan and post up the alignment specs.

For search, GTSboy is saying go to google, then enter something like "R32 GTR tyre wear site:sau.com.au" in the search bar.

I've got the alignment printout I'm just trying to figure out how to upload. My mate who's a tire fitter had a look and thinks it's all up the f**k too much camber and suggested the camber arms and castor rods.but Mr shabby that makes sense about being lowered, yer I tried that search too but because Google just picks up words like gtr it lists r32 r33 r34 and doesn't list it in order lol.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
