Heya,

Just had my current wheel alignment read. See attached. Just wondering if anyone who knows what good wheel alignment settings should be can comment on any major problem areas I might have.

Car sits low on tein super streets if that makes any difference.

Lots of things not set up for good handling, ride comfort or decent tyre wear;

Front

Insufficient caster differential, shoudl have at least 0.25 degrees more caster on the LHS front to help prevent the drift to the gutter (caster kit $110 on the Group Buy)

Too much negative camber, get it down to around 1 degree (front camber kit $183 on the Group Buy)

Too much toe, should be around zero (use the standard adjusters)

Rear

Way too much negative camber, get it down to around 0.75 degree (rear camber kit $125 on the Group Buy)

Too much toe, should be around 2 mm toe in each side (use the standard adjusters)

Judging by the exaggerated camber it's too low, the best height for handling and ride comfort is 350 mm front and 340 mm rear (centre of wheel to guard). Raise it up before you get the alignment fixed.

Cheers

whats recommended track/drift settings for a r32 rwd?

Simple question, not so easy to answer without the data;

What tyres?

What swaybars?

What spring rates?

What height?

What engine power?

What weight?

Cheers

Gary

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
