A31 Alignment Settings

[Lum]

I know there's a thread where all the A31 people have been posting their drifting setups but would anyone happen to know the factory settings that Nissan would have you use, or at least some decent settings for normal road use. Should I just use R32 GTS4 settings?

Oh BTW it's one of the 4WD A31s if that makes a difference

Use R32 GTS4 or GTR one.

Turned out that the company that makes the alignment machine actually have settings for the Cefiro, and they're slightly different from the Skyline.

This scan should show the valid ranges, and also what a crap job the garage did at aligning my car. It handles worse than when I took it in.

Settings may be different if you have an RWD Cefiro. In fact they almost certainly are due to the different suspension design.

Any idea how to fix the front caster and rear toe? Also any cheap way to adjust the front camber as the current level of camber is preventing me from lowering the car

Is it possible you can post up the alignment setting for the regular RWD Cefiro?

There should be some camber bushes available through whiteline ........definately for the rear ....front bushes might be similar to the skyline .....

Unfortunately since the alignment shop had to pay money to get those settings as they're not on the system, I doubt they'll be too chuffed if I ask for regular A31 settings.

Best bet is find a shop with a Hunter alignment machine and ask them to align your car, Hunter should have settings for that too.

As for mine, the rear is adjustable. When it went in both rears matched, they "fixed" the camber on the rear right and then declared that the rear left was too tight for them to undo. This is on a rust-free fresh import, the muppets were also trying to undo it with a 12 sided socket. So I left with one wheel set differently to the other three and now the back end kicks out when I turn left.

The fronts, only option for the Skyline is a set of expensive top mounts. I guess I'll just have to live with the camber for now, just means I can't lower the car
