Hello everyone!!

Got my R33 GTST for a week now, and I am working on the HU and reverse camera right now.

I have got a Pioneer AVH series HU, with a ebay rear view camera. I am not sure how does the HU pick up the reverse signal? Is there any way I could use pick up the reverse signal near to the HU? (like somewhere in the cabin, like the video below)

So the rest would be just the reverse camera video signal to HU, and power/ground to the rear lights(not sure if reverse light works the best or brake light)

I have read through the internet but was not able to find a solution to this...so please give me a hand thanks!!

its in the drivers sill. go to the light to get the color though.

Thanks for the reply mate. Is drivers sill foha2r.jpg?

How can I find the light and which colour would that be? (is it the same colour as the reverse light in the trunk or different colour)

Thanks in advance!

one in trunk will be the same as in the front sill panel if you get it on the car side of the plug.

I end up hanging on my reverse light cable and wired it back to the HU..was thinking if there is any way I could make it look tidier lol

But yeah, it works the same!

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
