SAU has been recovered after a catastrophic hard drive failure.

The latest viable database backup we had was from 6am yesterday which means we lost 6 - 7 hours worth of data before the crash. It was during the 12pm backup that the first crash occurred followed by a 2nd crash at around 3pm.

I am sincerely sorry about this and I hope that everybody didn't lose too much content.

Any questions, please PM me.

Lachy, what's "ideal" camber and toe for my 33? In 16 years not one set of fronts has worn evenly. Even with 5 or so alignments in its life.

Think I need to tell them how I want it set.

Do you have adjustable front camber arms? If not your camber will be fixed.

Negative toe or 'toe out' increases inside edge wear so you'll want to steer away from that.

Positive toe or 'toe in' increases outside edge wear so if you run that with negative camber it will help to even the tyre wear out.

On your car where you want it to handle well and have reasonable tyre wear something like -1.5 degrees front camber and 1-1.5mm of toe in either side (2-3mm total) might be agood place to start?

Tis all stock brah,

Thinking bout getting tires swapped across and get it checked/adjusted. Something is obviously not quite right

Be interesting to see what your camber readings are like.

have had it 140,000k so id say ive put 5 sets on the front. everytime ive hit canvas on the inside before outside has hit 50%

rears have worn evenly everytime.

If you are running coilovers and a bit lower that could be where the uneven is maybe?

double check the post you quoted...

 

Tis all stock Brah. As if spend money on suspension when more engine powah awaits :)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
