Hey,

I just put in new castor rods (cusco) and front whiteline camber bushes.

Befor i got alignment i had 1.6 degrees negative camber and 6.1 degress castor.

After i have 2.2 degrees negative camber and 5.9 degrees castor.

Not happy so they are doing it again for me this friday. Question is.. castor effects camber right...

Now whiteline site sais try castor befor camber... Now if negative camber reduces understeer and increasing castor makes more positive camber... how is more castor going to help...

I take it castor makes wheel base further apart so therefore better turn in.. but whats a good median... I dont care about tyre wear.. They said arm dont have enough adjustment for more than 6 degress castor without stuffing camber..

also i have adjustable rear control arms and noone will adjust my track so it is back to standard... is there a thread or easy way to adjust with a tap measure or something? I live in mackay... 1000km north brisbane

Wind in more caster, up to about 8 degrees before you'll start having scrubbing issues. Then just get as much camber as the bushes can give you. I think the whiteline kit only has an adjustable outer so you won't get much more than you have already. Run either 0 toe or a bit of toe out to help turn in.

Nothing more that you can do with what you have atm without doing something silly like add toe out on the rear.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.

      As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
