Has anyone got the factory stock front castor and maybe KPI figures for an R33 GTS-t please? I have made some adjustable parts for my front suspension and want to add a bit more castor than stock, but I now suddenly realize I don't know what the stock figure is.... Thanks.

Every car is different, R33GTST caster is usually around 5 degrees positive without adjustment, so don't stress if yours is 4.5 or 5.5. I had a standard car this week that was 3.5, but it had stuffed caster rod bushes.

:( cheers :P

Thanks for the speedy reply. I have made adjustable castor rods from stock ones, and adjustable bottom arms, I was going to add some more positive caster. I intend trying 7 degrees each side. Centering is a bit weak as it is, and more caster should add dynamic negative camber too.

Appreciate your feedback, cheers.

Nice brakes :P

I made everything myself, front brakes are from a Porsche 962 Le Mans Group C car, on AP fully floating discs and home made bells and brackets. Rears are Aston Martin DB9 calipers on AP discs and home made bells and brackets. Pics are around in ftp://ftp.chriswilson.tv along with other bits and bobs and the engine in build. I work in the race car game, so get hold of some useful bits and pieces for my own projects, from time to time!

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
