G-Attack R-tune :) I can adjust the spring damper rates on the dial on the top of the struts.. but I to adjust the camber u need camber plates or a camber kit..

Yes Troy, answer my PM punk! ;)

Roy, what's a good camber setting you would recommend? I think the stock camber is set at 1 degree... so maybe increase of 1-2 degrees negative? I want about 3 deg. negative on the front.

My car is heading into centerline next Friday to have the suspension installed and the rest of the setup done so I'll let you know how I go. What did you pay for the R-tune's if you dont mind me asking? New or used?

LOL...dont ask me. I played with my susp settings trying to gain a second or two and went backwards.

Depending on the castor etc you are running, i found 3.5 deg way too much. The car had alot of mid corner push/ understeer. I think it came back to the fact that there wasnt enough tyre patch on the road, as running plenty of castor gives you dynamic camber when you turn the wheel, so running too much static camber just reduces the amount of tyre in contact with the road whereby hurting braking/traction.

Onmy car 2.5deg C seemed to work well. BUT thats my car which has swaybars, different ride heights etc etc so your car will most likely be different. If you want to get close first go talk to an expert, when i started playing my cars handlign went backwards, but at least i learnt what doesnt work and why :)

Ill have a temp probe to measure tyre face temps ont he day, so will soon get an idea of you are workign the tyres properly ;)

pfft - what are you guys on about? Castor angles? Toe? Spring Rates?

Its all bollucks. Just get in the damn car and drive! ;)

But 4wd cars dont seem to have near the appetite or sensitivity to killing semi comps :)

is it that or cause he drives like a girl? :D

so on the top parts of the suspension in the engine bay which things do u move?

the nuts and stuff on the left of the damper adjustment nob or on the right???

You running Nismo's too? R tune or S tune?

 

Was gonna say my R's dont have camber adjust and I didn't think any did!

 

Troy - When you looking at making these up?

will be making these in the next few weeks

is it that or cause he drives like a girl? :P

Do Cefiros run susp similar to the S13? ie Struts v wishbones? Sounds like they might. What shocks are you running, and im assuming you have adjustable strut tops.

If so then yeh you can tweak camber using that plate looking thingie that the shock top pokes through, and then you may be able to change the rebound etc of the shock by tweaking the knob on top of the shock body. Make sense?

well I did see a blue r34 with about an inch of tread missing on the outside of the front right. Those 4wd cheater just get to rotate rims all around so they can make them wear better. But its still the same problem, the car rolls onto the shoulder of the tyre

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
