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.

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!

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
