hi guys

just fitted my new 18's, just wondering about balance and alignment issues. I got the rims balanced the other day, but haven't had an alignment yet as they couldn't get my car up the friggen ramp thing, too low they reckon (despite it being at least 1-2 cm's above legal height)

anyways, on dead flat roads, the car doesn't pull in any particular direction, it seems to drive quite straight. Should i get an alignment only if it's pulling, or should i get it done anyway, just because they're new rims on the car?

cheers,

daniel

yep been to them before, when i had the 17's. I got them balance and aligned there, but my car was pulling when i put those 17's on myself, and a bit of shake a high speeds. Balance and alignment sorted it but, they did say that there wasn't any factory adjustment up front for them to stop chopping out the inside?

so am i right in saying there is no camber adjustment for the front wheels? i'm pretty sure i remember Traction Tyres saying they did what they could but the factory adjustments were just not there to be able to stop them from chopping the insides

Is it all done and dusted?

the rims in my sig aren't my rims, i got some R34 GTR rims, the rims in my sig are for sale!! :(

Yeah, i think i should get it aligned, but i don't want to waste money on getting them done when the fronts can't be fixed properly. I'm not sure if the R34's have front camber adjustment, which i'm pretty sure was my problem last time

haven't taken any pics yet, but i definitely should.

be keen to know what polish/products/wax/RO troy is using. I've gotten into detailing recently, and have been learning from the master, finalinspection.com.au

      R34 RB20DE NEO + T ONLY

      By Sxnjeet · Posted

      Hello, I'm trying to make this thread basically the thread with all the answers to common questions regarding specifically the RB20 DE NEO + T engine, that comes in the R34. Answers will and only should be provided by those who have done this conversion or actually have some relevant real life experience please. Please feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any so other members can answer. I feel like this thread is really needed, especially with more Americans buying (unknowingly going to regret it too) rb20 neo r34s. My first question being - What do you guys use for tuning? I have purchased a haltech elite 2500 Plug and play kit for the rb25det NEO because the ecu plug is the same, but I am unsure if any of the pins would need to be repined to match. Second question that I see asked very often - After this conversion, did you install the boost solenoid/ actuator? I see many people doing a + T setup on their rb20 NEOs while running stock RB25DET NEO ECUs with no tune. I am wondering how they are going about doing that and consistently abusing the car because many of these people have had these untuned setups running for a very long time. That was my original plan, but my engine cuts out at 5 psi of boost using the stock ecu with no tune and no boost solenoid/actuator.

      interesting. ive read and heard otherwise over the past year. ive been doing this +t conversion on a rb20 neo using all oem rb25det neo parts including the ECU, and im having engine cut out issues when I hit around 5 psi of boost. Everywhere/everyone ive asked has told me its because I never wired in a boost solenoid/actuator to the ecu, so the ecu isn't getting the right signal once it hits 5 psi of boost, causing the engine to get shut off.

      Something strange is happening. I didn't touch the car since we last spoke on the forums. Yesterday was the first day of good weather, so i took it out for about 2 hours. It started up on first crank every time about 5 times total. I literally didn't do anything to do the car.

      I purchased this one. Very well priced and works great. I was rough with it to see if it will last and had no issues.  Teslong Two-Way Articulating Borescope with Light, Industrial Endoscope Inspection Camera with Articulated Probe, Flexible Mechanic Fiber Optic Snake Scope Cam for Wall Automotive Engine Inspect-5FT : Amazon.ca: Industrial & Scientific
