OK. It's bitch and moan time. Just came back from an attempet wheel aligment and came accross a few hurdles. Car is an R33 GTST with JIC coilovers and jap springs. Thats it. In summary from wheel place... No Castor Adjustment front No Castor Adjustment rear No SAI adjustment (though I feel that this is only affected as a result of castor adj) No Camber adjustment on the front Is this true>? Victory(Topic originator)...help me out. You say your suspension was bone stock when you had your settings done. Are you sure? OR Have I lost adjustablity on some things when the stocker suspension was thrown out for coilovers. OR Are these tyres guys just plain moots? OR am i going crazy, thinking that I could adjust castor/SAI on my stockish Skyline. Help

I just replaced my lecky tape with industrial grade silicon. Works perfect. Pretty good for $11.00. Feel sorry for all the guys out there who have bought splitfires when all the time it was just probabaly just a crack in the coil.

Is the before mentioend setup for a HICAS equipped(noty locked out) car or not? I would think that setups would be alot different for one or the other. My HICAS doesnt give me any majour issues so I have not locked it out.

How do these settings go with relation to HICAS?

There is a thread somewher here about Nissan Patrol clutches fitting. Think its in the General Maintenence sticky...

True. Chat to Greg at GKtech. He'll sort you out

Galston Gorge. Short but oh so sweeeet

my story = the above story

I've recently bought and installed the GKtech item. Good fit and a good deal. http://www.gktech.com.au/products/?ID=110

I couldnt spot the cracks on mine either but I taped them up anyway. Problem solved. Off to bunnings to guy some silicon

Me to. Saw it pass the vodafone building..

Willing to seperate HICAS lock bar yet? Brand and pics plz

Pretty sure any FMIC install will have to take a bit out of the reinforcement bar. Give it a shot. I did mine and I had never used an angle grinder before.

Woops. True. But to confirm is that what a pyrometre is? Sorry for the noob questuions. I know a little bit about handling and suspension but only what I learned from racing R/C cars. Trying to apply what I've learnt from R/C cars to the real thing.

Not sure what a pyrometer is......Does that measure the temp of the surface of the tyre? eg, if the inner half of the tyre surface is hotter than the outside then add more negative camber till its even temp accross the surface of the tyre?

I would leave toe nuetral at the front. I would only really use toe out as a last resort to gain more steering. It certainly wouldnt fix understeer. -3 deg camber at the front is alot. Whats your tyre wear like at the track? Are they wearing towards one side more than the other? If so then camber it till you get even tyre wear methinks. Best camber setting is when you have even tyre wear/most of the tyre contacting with the road. More contact = More Grip. Castor in the rear can help with steering. I'm sure SK can elaborate more.

SK. Would reccomend similar settings for an R33 with JIC coilovers with jap super hard springs coupled with a front strut bar? I have 17's 235/255's Cheers,

Can you elaborate on this a bit for me? Reasons why?

What he said...

Like this one?

No nipple on mine either. Just extend the hose and T-Piece it into your vacuum hose off your blow off valve. What kit have you got?
