Just some advice...... If you want to change your rear camber to help with tyre wear etc.......

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET ADJUSTABLE CAMBER ARMS

Camber bushes suck ass haha

Hahahaha they aint that bad :P

The only bad thing is there isn't much adjustment with only changing one bush :(

Did you just change the one set (upper from memory)?

Yeah man, I'm gonna keep the measurements and/or make a jig for future jobs. If you like how it turns out, I'll make one for you. You've helped me out enough.

dunno hey. Pretty over it at the moment.

Feel like punching the flamin mongrel that hit me. He thought it was funny in the end, even though it was his fault and I ended up in hospital.

Messaged me and reckons "I should thank him for bumping my shitbox off the road"

If I ever see him again.... I'll be trying to convince myself not to punch him in the face.

In the maeantime I'll call the police and make sure he is being charged.

Sweet as.

Will hopefully have my gearbox back together by then so I can see what times it will do now. Really want a high 12 but will probably only manage a 13 first time out with the new setup. If I can get it off the line.....

Ordered an AEM UEGO Wideband gauge from the states. Has analog out so should be able to hook it in with the FC-Hako and have the AFR's up on map watch in FC Edit. Will make it alot easier to tune.

Also with all the gearbox stuff I decided to go with an NPC Lightweight Billet flywheel. Replacing 2nd and 4th synchro + energizer springs and inserts and bearings and needle rollers. About $1100 going into the gearbox which is not bad for what should feel like a near new box with a decent flywheel.

Next on the list Is carbon fibre valley cover and timing belt cover, put my polished cam covers on and a carbon fibre cooling panel

Hi Guys

The R33 will not be ready for tnt anytime soon.

Also just to let you's know my old boy and Dave from CPV Performance have gone to the Palmyra Drag Committee and we are getting a Car show organised for the 25th of June at the drag strip to raise money for the club. The car show will consist of a Show n Shine Comp, a Dyno Comp (two wheel rolling dyno 1100hp). and a Power Skid Comp (not to be confused with burnout comp). We have also got a Bikini comp lined up as well. Now there will be three catagory's 1.Best Holden 2. Best Ford and 3.Best Import (Import meaning anything imported into the county rice burner's, euro's and yank tanks), and there is a lot of prize money up for grabs.

This will be the debut for the R32 Drag Car at this event, as we are on track to have the car complete in the next few weeks. Now we are waiting for confirmation but Mark Jacobson form Godzilla Motorsport said he would like to fly down to be there for the first outing of our R32 and help fly the flag for the mighty GTR's, We were planing to have all Models the GTR's lined up but my R33 will not be ready, we were gonna have Our R32 N1, My R33, Kingy's R34 and Grants R35 all lined up would have looked awesome.

Anyways advertising should start soon for the event and can't wait to see our R32 destroy everything that crosses our path domokun.gif hahaha!!!!!!!

I'll put some pics up of my wheels again, I really want to sell them locally so I save worrying about transport etc.

anyway:

Koya Inox R1 19"

Fronts: 8.5" wide with 235/35ZR19 Nankang's (inner camber wear but still about 70% tread left)

Rears: 9.5" wide with 265/30ZR19 Kendra's (near new, 90% tread left or more, only got them at the start of the year)

Offsets:

Front +35

Rears + 38

Great fitament on R33 Gts-t, dont really require guard rolling as I drove around with no guard work for 2 years with these wheels.

They are dirty atm need a good clean and maybe polish, there is minor gutter rash on two wheels but its not so bad. Can provide photos of this if necessary.

Chasing $1300 with Hubcentric Rings and locknuts
