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!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
