1400R's thread is all about that, but its cool, for a R32 castor it up to +8 maybe +9......but on the safer side of you can go +7, the more the better is the theory and plenty of people here will vouch for that.....as for camber, mines running 2 degree's up front and should have none on the rear, but my setup got f***kd up so its got like the same at the rear. I want more camber at the front but thats coz im an idiot, only another degree or 2, just like the look (but dont want the tyre wear lol). Il let u know wat my new settings are 2moro just pm me if im not on by 6ish, and il give u some fully sick specs

Ok heres the story.....got my car back and soo far im impressed with AVS's work. Scott knows his sh*t and is a really top bloke. He isnt telling me the exact adjsutments he did so he keeps getting business (smart i thought). But i gota rough idea and its the following.

Rear: Toe in, quite substantial according to him, coz the other guys put it out(BIG NO NO)

Camber out just a degree in the rear only slight

Front: 2 degree front camber

+9 castor and let me tell u its quite noticeable

All up full drift wheel allignment and settings for an attacking stance. The car handles like a dream although it pulls to the left (following the roads camber) and likes to follow all the humps and bumps, but drifting around corners its sooo much more controllable

Next up sway bars and my rear stabilizer bar which il get them to set and put on.......plus some more power

u dont want too much camber coz ul chew ur tyres, same as castor, +9 is good, but make sure u clear ur front bar, if not ur either cutting sum out for ur tyres or ur reducing castor to around 8ish.......but it make s huge difference, and as for camber 2 degrees maybe 3 is very aggressive. So thatl b fine dude.....other then that have fun and drive

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
