hey guys I know this probably seems stupid and all but do any of you have any recommendations on who to get a wheel alignment done I was just going to get Jax down at tuggers to do it. Also is the rear adjustable or is it only the front??? I just want to make sure before I go down their and look like an ass if the read out doesn’t look and the car doesnt feel right :(

also i thought someone in canberra had already posted this but i looked through and couldnt find it.

Cheers,

Brad

Chris at Inline Suspension in Queanbeyan.

i wouldn't use anybody else. he has cars, (both street and race/rally), come to him from all over the country for his services. guys from as far away as QLD!!!!

he might be a little more expensive than others, but he will do it right the first time and not muck around. give him a call. he can be busy at times, but is worth the wait.

bit of a plug, but yes, he is that good.

cheers for the replies guys yea its just that last time i got my alignment checked at jax in tuggers they made it worse if anything had to take it back to them to fix it up. Sounds like i might give inline a call a little later any other opinions are appreciated ;) only downers is its so out of the way :( maybe i should book in at inline then get ed to pick it up and do a service on it later in the day ;) j/ks though tempting idea

well took the car this morning and i was very very impressed with the service i must say alot better than jax. It did take a but longer but i dont care good work cant have a time frame put on it i figure :) anyways he showed me pretty much how they do the whole thing and showed me exactly what was going on with my camber. then adjusted it as much as possible supposeduly its still got a little bit of camber but not enough to need a camber kit. also had a chat to ed's wife as she was down their at the time :rofl:

Yeah, mines been done at Inline everytime. Top blokes, i usually get it all done at the same time as my service.

I have to get my car booked in again, running too much camber on my front left (or too little, i dunno how these things work.) anyways, the printout says -0.58 Camber Left -1.23 Right. What exactly does that mean? What do i have to do to fix it?

un-hit some curbs I'd say :P

Its possible that there is a twist or warp in the susspention from a previous gutter hit, or some thing like that, its only really a problem if it effects drivability. It is not going to be much and looks like they can use adjustments to counter act it as its not at the limit. I wouldnt worry...

or,

get coil overs and replace the std suspention. Remember you have no actual history of cars being imported, and it is a skyline, you can pretty much see how most of them are driven...

same way we do!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
