suspension set upwith lowered springs , do i really need a camber caster alignment?

another +1 for traction tyres.

they are straight up with what needs to be done and nothing more. dominic will ask you what alignment you want be it tyresaver or performance. Unfortunately its usally one or the other..ha basic front and back wheel alignment should cost $77 maybe abit more and the camber and castor alignment should be included as its what they adjust anyways to align your wheels. If someoen tells you otherwise hang up :D if your car is too low you may need camber kits but they will tell you if do need em.

Well, yes, OR they could just do a better job of the same things :laugh:

They're adjusting things, they can choose how much do adjust each part, its quite complex if you have camber/caster adjusters, and quality does vary a lot.

I've used traction tyres before, they are not cheap but very thorough and I'd recommend them...

Sorry to bring up an older thread but searched for recommendations on wheel alignment places and this was the one that came up.

Have the settings I require just need someone to align it for me, is this the place to go too over that side of Melb and do they have a proper wheel alignment equipment or is it done by string and tape?

    • Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

    • Edit: It's now known as "R Performance" and is still in operation.

    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
