Has anyone adjusted the front camber on their R35 themselves? I've done it before (trackside) on other cars and it was quite trivial. Sometimes suspension gets out of spec, gets knocked around hard on the track and moves, or you have wide tyres rubbing on struts etc., so i want to know how it's done just in case. I am yet to get under the car and see but thought i would ask if anyone here has done it themselves, if there are any tips and/or tricks.

cheers

The lower control arm has a camber pin, you will need to remove one of the lower covers to get the bolts, probably not something you want to do at the track, also there isn't that much adjustment, the "track spec" is about 1.6 neg and I doubt there is enough adjustment to get much more than 2 deg.

thanks for that.

With respect to max camber, is that due to a limitation of the camber bolt/adjustment or the wheel/tyre itself? I am running +22mm offset track wheels on the front (they stick out a bit) and it seems there is about 20mm clearance remaining on the inside (between the wheel/trye and suspension) so nil issues with clearance there, if you know what i mean.

To answer my own question, the limitation is in the camber adjustment bolt itself. As John D says, there isnt much more in it than 1.6*, which seems a tad tame IMO. Still, there you go.

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
