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!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
