Going Into Heasmans

[Trust33]

Hi peeps.

Im taking the car into heasmans on thursday to have the adj whiteline kit alligned to whatever specs i want.R33 gts-t

But the thing is i dont know what to set the car to for a regular streeter/occasional track day warrior in terms of degrees of camber castor height toe etc. for the front and rear.Ride quality doest phase me in the slightest.

This is the way i see it so far.

Castor=7-8 degree's.for fast turn in.

Front camber=1 degree

Rear=1 degree

Toe out on the rear??questionable on what i should run.

A little toe in on the front.Again??

The car sits at 350mm and tyres are 17/235's at the front.And 360 mm at the rear on 17/255's.

Im thinking i should level out the car to 350 all round what do you guys think.

Most of all!-->What do you think SK.

Hi Craig, my suggestions;

1. Don't specify a caster target, get Doug to get you as much as he can. You can never have too much caster on a Skyline

2. Front at 1 degree negative camber is OK, a little more won't hurt on the track. Road use tyre wear becomes an issue over 1.5 degrees negative

3. 1 degree on the rear is OK for the track

4. Do you still have the HICAS connected, if so a little toe in would be my choice. If no HICAS, then I usually aim for zero toe, especially on higher power Skylines. They don't need any help, they oversteer on demand.

5. Front toe out is good for turn in, about 1 to 2 mm per side

6. Skyline front guards are cut higher (~15 mm) than the rear guards, so flat (no rake) would be 350 mm front and 335 mm rear. Personally I like a bit of rake, arond 10 mm nose down on a 2wd and 5mm on a 4wd. So 340-350 mm rear would be my target. The rear negative camber is very sensitive at that height, so it may be necessary to go up to 350 mm to achieve the target static negative camber.

Doug knows what he is doing, he will achieve the best he can and remember every car is different.
