Wheel Allignment Issue For My Gtr....

I recently went and got a wheel allignment after i get a new set of tyres fitted. Originally I noticed that the front passanger tyre was wearing out more on the inside then the passanger side, so that was the reason i went for an allignment.

The wheel alligment just did not seem right. As i drive, the car seems to want to go to the left. I tested this by driving slowly (20km/hr) on a flat road, but the car still wants to go to the left. Even driving on a right the is slanted to the right, the car slightly wants to go to the left still.

Here is the measurements of what they gave me after the allignment:

=INITIAL=

-FRONT-

Caster - Left +3.27

Right +3.16

Camber - Left -2.17

Right -1.22

Individual Toe- Left +5.5mm

Right +5.0mm

Total Toe - +10.5mm

-REAR-

Camber - Left -2.04

Right -1.52

Individual Toe- Left +0.8mm

Right +2.4mm

Total Toe - +1.6mm

=FINAL=

-FRONT-

Caster - Left +3.22

Right +3.12

Camber - Left -2.11

Right -1.26

Individual Toe- Left +0.8mm

Right +0.8mm

Total Toe - +1.6mm

-REAR-

Camber - Left -2.04

Right -1.55

Individual Toe- Left +2.0mm

Right +2.0mm

Total Toe - +4.0mm

Can someone please tell me what is the propper measurement for the Camber/Toe/caster (front n rear)? Also, i will be taking my car on the track at the end of the month, so what is teh best setting for the track?

PS. I have stock suspension

The rear toe seems a little high, normally would be between 0.5 - 2.0mm in total on the rear of one of them. but the rest of it doesnt sound that bad.

I prolly would of had the front toe set to about 1.5mm a side, 3mm in total.

If your toe on the front was out by 10.5 before they did anything, it would of been feral to drive and been squeeling as you drove it in a straight line and f**king tyres in a few thousand km's.

Ok imagine this. if the wheel is leaning in at the top, then your camber is -ve. but if it is leaning out at the top then it is +ve. and unless you are driving on dead flat roads, like the euro freeways, then i would suggest -ve camber.

as for the rear camber, unless it is doing radical things to your rear tyres, they wont alter the camber, they will normally set the rear up right through toe. if the camber is within specs.

My guess would be that there is not enough caster on the LHS front, causing drift to the gutter. This not unusual, the LHS front wheel is the one that hit the pot holes on the edge of the road and/or the gutter. So over time all cars gradualy loose caster from the LHS and start to drift to the left. Caster like front camber is not adjustable with standard components. An adjustable caster kit ($110 on the Group Buy) fixes that.

I would also be concerned with the camber differential accross the car, there is limited camber adjustable standard on the rear (0.25 degrees). Perhaps as them if they have exhausted that adjustment. Is that is the case then a rear camber kit would be my suggestion ($123 on the Group Buy). This will fix the uneven tyre wear on the rear.

For the front there is no standard camber adjustment, so a front camber kit would be my suggestion ($183 on the Group Buy). This will also fix the uneven tyre wear on the front.

:no: cheers :laugh:

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      By Kapr 路 Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 馃檪  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
