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

Edited by 0zhiph0p

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.

    • 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.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
