Help Wanted Wheel Align Settings For Drag

[widebody32]

Can anyone help with start off settings for r32 gtr wheel alignment settings and hks shock settings.

I know it is probably very secretive but only want basic settings.

[jas/slo32]

point all four wheels straight ahead and try to take out as much rear camber as possible thats all we did and shock settings on the rear were hard as possible to stop it squatting. front is as it came over from japan

You want the rear tyres to plant squarely on the track at launch. IRS cars tend to go all over the place when they launch hard so pay careful attention to camber settings.

Thanks thanks Jason and 2rismo. Are you running sway bars at all Jason?

[jas/slo32]

yes i run front and rear swaybars suspension in my car is almost standard just a few extra toe and camber adjustments in the rear

take em off...we dont use them...excess weight.

A swaybar can help more evenly plant the rear tyres resulting in a reduction in wheel spin and improved traction. If set up right on a street car they can be of huge benefit.

we remove them and change the camber settings to compensate....result is the same contact patch as before but with reduced weight and improved rear squat. We have one of the best street tyred IRS 60 foots in the country to back my theory up. Its over 1.5 tonne has a little over 400kw and 60's in the high 1.4's.

widebody, i also use HKS Hyperdampers...but not the "drag spec" ones...they take a bit of testing to get them right but once you do the car hooks up well.

just a thought but in the one of chance of the car breaking something, driving through oil etc and the car gets sideways it will be harder to control as it will body roll like a champion. after seeing a few guys cars crash at the track i have seen a lot of guys put them back on. for the sake of 5 kilos or so, i will just go on a diet.

Some of the fastest street car racers in the world run 6 second quarter miles at over 200mph in purpose built race cars and still use swaybars. They 60 in the low to mid 1.0's and get out of shape less often.

yeah. id go .5mm toe in fromt and rear. just to help with stability. but i havent done propper bump steer testing on the rear yet.

im about to make an adjustable bump steer hicas lock bar with a height adjustment (bump steer corection)
