Yeh theres a few ways about the -ve camber on the rear, K Mac sell offset bushes which counteract it a bit.

the best way though is what dat sport does, fully adjustable bout $5-$600 for that and its a bloody good job

Maybe try and get some adjustable camber plates and see how u go from there...Mine is staying how it is though, its good for cornering, and as im not making that much power i don't have traction issues atm

- 2 1/4 inch exaust manifold bak

- import 15 inch rims which i belive r off a hr31 (just wif out the centre cap) i know dis coz my best friend has those rims

- it has import rear lights which are off a dr30

its not much at the moment bak u can not forget im only 16 and i just bought the car not even 1 month ago.

stu-r30- with the konis they came with new tops, there is still the camber, doesn't seem as harsh as it was but i've got the trx rims on it and they sit in closer to the chasie? the front also had some neg chamber before i changed to the konis now they sit stright up and down??

PoZessedmr30-welcome, this your first car, if so great choice, with your air flow dont bother with the r31 air box its not that much bigger the the r30 one, i'd go the pod then put up a block to stop the hot air from the engine( build a box around it) so to let in air at the front, where the headlight is, even maybe spend 10 bucks on some flexie pipe to direct air to the pod from the front?

Rsx84 - i was already planning on putting on the pod filter, but my consern iz that i am not getting enough air becoz of my afm. i belive i need to change it becoz the HOLE that air flows in from the original air box goes through that of course and the actual hole iz a very small rectangular hole insteed of the much bigger circular hole like on an r31 for example

that iz wot i want 2 change, so i can get more airflow.

pozessedmr30- your running a l20e i gather, the problem is that the afm is the air box,if i remember correctly, with the r31 onwards they had an air box then a afm which you could remove by its self, someone else may know more!

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
