I am in need for a wheel alignment for a R32GTR. I just moved up to the Gold Coast from SA and not too sure who are best for this job. I travel to South Brisbane most weekend so getting it done around there is not a problem too.

Could someone kindly let me know who you normally go to? Do they open on the weekend?

TSR is at slacks creek and they seemed pretty good..... they are very south side brissy too... http://www.shockreco.com.au/index.htm

I'm sure they do wheel alignment or at least know of a good place to get it done. :D

DO NOT GO TO THEM. Seriously. PM me if you want to know why. As its bad if I say on here or something.

Either way try "Accurate Suspension" and talk to Ken, they arent that much further away from TSR and are MILES better.

Dave pm me why man... I have some major suspension work that needs to be done soon... They and pedders were the only two that could do a proper alignment with me leopard so far. But pedders uses the bad red bushes :D

common guys, help a new bro out :D

All I want to do is dial in a little bit more caster + camber for the front and possibly corner weight the car. I am just slowly preparing for the next Sat sprint day at QR. I think I got bitten by the track bug last time I was there :)

I am at work during the week and can only get this done on the weekend.

Anyway, someone must use/know a good shop for this sort of thing. Where are all the trackies when you need their good advices :D?

Did you ask Ken if he knew of anyone down the coast?

thanks I will ask him next week.

He was busy last week and I did not get a chance to talk to him at all.

Thanks tappet. Sometimes the operator is more important than the tool. Back when I was in SA I always used this chap with the old school manual wheel alignment tools. He was spot on all the time.

BTW does Ken use laser or manual alignment machine?

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
