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 :)

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
