Well.....the end of an era, she's sold.......

For the last year and a half i've met some amazing people through this red beast, there have been some great cruises and BBQ's, some fantaqstic nights at trivia (most noteably my feeble attempts to get Becky to notice me) some great jokes about my alleged sexuality and colour chioce in my clothes (pink is still cool i don't care what you say) but more importantly some great talks with different members of a wonderfull group of people.

As far as the new owner goes......He's a great guy, the I.T. Manager at my work and if he decides to join and come out with us you'll all like him (or else!) :lol:

Back on topic,

So this is a thankyou to all of the people that made this car special to me, the car itself can be replaced but the incredible people that i met (and spend my tuesday nights with) cannot. Your an amazing group that i'm proud to call myself a part of (although i'll be damned if i pay the $50 joining fee) :lol:

Thankyou to everyone, we truly are an amazing community, so heres to many more years of winding up the boost, hitting the tarmac for a cruise and a BBQ and enjoying each others company.

Thankyou

Andrew :P aka: Veilside R33 :) ..........Aka: Diahatsu R33 :lol:

I,for one,am gonna miss that car. It's just me,gettin' all misty eyed,when I say some things just go together:Beer and hangovers,the inevitability of death and taxes,Skylines and good times,KY jelly and...oh,sorry.Where was I?Oh,and Andrew,pink shirts and the R33. Still,onwards and upwards(and back and forth if we're all good Churchgoers,LOL)-maybe a Nur Spec R34 will take A.'s mind off his loss...

Thanks for the good words!

Hi all, and yes I am the proud new owner of this wonderful car.

I feel bad for taking it off Andrew's hands! And I can only guess how much you're gonna miss it mate! but I'll look after her for you. ;)

      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.
