The reason i tookt he starter out was to install a ring gear stopper. Im going to buy one 2morow. Not 100% sure how to install it though. Any tips?? By the way im locking it to undo the crank pulley bolt.. (new cam belt)

Ahh....well my 2c is that generally there are easier ways to get the bolt off than using a ring gear stopper. eg leave it in gear and have someone step on the brakes....might even be able to hold it on the handbrake.

Deren I have a tool to hold the harmonic balancer while the front bolt is undone/torqued. I'll check tomorrow to see if it fits the GTR as I made it for thr Soarer and it works ok for the RB25.

There is no way i would pull the starter off just to hold the ring gear .

There is heaps of other methods to use , like the starter , always works for me or what Duncan said but you will need a 3/4 drive socket ( 27 mm for gts and 30 mm for gtr ) and a good long bar . I wouldnt try 1/2 inch drive socket on the gtr it may break , they are very tight .

If i have the engine out i use a 3/4 " rattle gun .

Don't use a screwdriver on the ring gear you may break a tooth or 2 .

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
