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.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
