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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • 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.
