Yeah this does that Bryce, I'll be going with a nice bilstein upgrade if it does turn out to be that.

I'm running Bilstein on all for now and thinking of changing to something else, I have been recommended Koni but I'm still thinking about it.

I'm still having tracking (wondering) problems, I've spent 3K on the front end plus some on the rear, had all experts play with it, i.e. Inline & Capital Steer & Susp ... Changed all four tyres (which did make a huge difference) .. now I've been advised to go with Koni shocks!!

I'm not an expert so I'm being guided buy those who say they are :closedeyes:

BTW on tramlining....

if you've been spending money on front end bushes, while it can be expensive it's not wasted money IMO. Bushes wear and these cars sure aint new any more. I'm assuming you've change the caster rod bushes and upper control arm ones. there might also be a bush in the steering column, I'm not sure in the 34. there are also steering rack bushes and inner and outer tie rod ends.

if you've done all those, one thing that surprised me in my 33 was how much worse wide and sticky tyres are for tramlining. what size and brand/model of tyres are on the front?

oh and shocks have no impact on suspension or tracking in a double wishbone setup like skylines. the wheel would travel through exactly the same angles even if the shock didn't exist. most cars run strut front suspension where it does make a difference

Re above ^^^ . note to all,

If anyone has any thoughts or something to contribute I'd be happy to hear it, all contributions will be appreciated :rolleyes:

Balljoints, Tierods / ends, Steering Rack / Bushes / Bolts, Control arm Bushes, Wheel Bearings, Alignment, tyre pressure / width...

All things I'm going thru to stop the Wagz bump steering / tram lining.

All been done, most replaced :yes:

Then all checked by both Chris at Inline and (forget his name) .. the guy who owns Capital Steering and Suspension, no one can find anything wrong.

Wheel track makes a big difference. As in how wide they are.

And its just the way it is, if you want wide wheels.

You could probably compensate/compromise to some degree with settings, but you need adjusty bits for that.

Mines bent and adjusted, it feels ok.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
