Hi everyone. Ive recently installed a JUN FRP bodykit on my R33 skyline, after going to get a wheel allignment today i found that the allignment machine wouldnt read a meausrement on the front??? apparently im told that this is due to the front bar being too low?? does this sound normal? the front bar is similat dimension to a 400R front? i really dont want to remove it and reinstall it just to get the wheels alligned? im thinking i should try a different allignment shop?? any thoughts appreciated.

cheers

Sam.

if the bar is too long the string that connects to the 2 front wheel alignment heads touch the kit and put the reading out. you have to go somewhere that has a better wheel alignment machine that uses lasers instead of strings

The alignment machine I use at work runs on lazers, and yes if the front bar is too low, the lazers cannot reach the other heads, the front bar can get in the way, this is a normal problem, we normally ask people to remove the front bar for us to align it in situations like that, not too many places in Adelaide that I know of that can align a car with a really low front bar.

not too many places in Adelaide that I know of that can align a car with a really low front bar.

would you be able to name somewhere that u know of that can? im reluctant to remove the bar because its not an easy task to remove and replace.

thanks :rofl:

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
