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.

Hey Lee,

I've heard alot of good things about Chris from Inline Steering in Queanbeyan.

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!

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
