I Need To Fix My Rear Camber Problem... And Other Shit Too

ok... here's my life story

i had HKS hypermax 2s... the rear pair are f**ked so i paid a small fortune for Bilsteins and shit low King springs... the car always had rear camber issues so i fed it crap compliance tyres... all thru that time I went thru 1 set of fronts and countless sets of 90% 2nd hand rears... my driving style is shit too i suppose

ok years later i smashed the front left bilstein shock because i have a bad habit of not slowing down for speed humps

i found the HKS hypermax fronts in my garage and had them installed

to my surprise they are quite good... slightly rattley but better than the Bilsteins

my Bilstein rears are kinda leaking but not too bad - it's liveable

i have given up fixing the HKS shocks... (this is a stupid saga all in itself)

so my question is... anyone is sydney who can definitively fixed my rear camber? I called so many so called suspension specialists and it seems like I'm asking them to fit rocket boosters to a russian space shuttle. Many do not like the Whiteline camber kit either.

I thought about buying stock rear springs and getting a new pair of KYB (or whatever?) rear shocks or getting the springs fitted to my rear bilsteins? I dunno.

I realistically need a drive in, drive out, one day solution. Don't particular care too much about ride height (can go back to stock height and softness) as this car is a daily.

car is a 33 gts turbo

as you can tell I'm kinda over this whole bloody suspension caper

oh here's a story about how I feel... I got defected so I had to get a 'stock looking' exhaust. I talked to about a dozen exhaust shops and seriously... what a pack of retards. Not dealing with exhaust shops really made my day.

It was easiest for me to pick up a 2nd hand jap exhaust (Fujitsubo Legalis turned out to be) and get it fitted by a local mechanic.

chuck some adjustable camber arms on and get an alignment. the reason why shops dont like whiteline camber kits (the offset bushes) is because they are cunts to adjust as opposed to adjustable arms which are on-car adjustable.

give Wholesale Suspension a call out at Penrith. I made the trip there from Liverpool just to get my wheels aligned. theyve got a 60grand laser aligning machine and can do camber, castor, toe etc all to your specs.

feels alot better now mate. sadly i dont have any specs. i adjusted the camber myself when i installed them. only had a bit of negative on them but the boys said it was pretty far out. same with the front castor. lol. they asked me if i wanted any specific settings and i just said no, make it good for everyday. so im guessing 0-1 degree camber out back and the rest pretty true. just a guess though. lol

my rear tyres were rooted from camber wear until i bought the camber arms. havent had any problems with wear on the front though. sorry cant help ya there mate. if you do lower and have all the necessary adjustable parts, they should be able to make it fine. all i can think of is tyre clearance with rear guards if its lowered. if they straighten the camber, you may need to roll the guards.

Are these arms good for street/daily alignment when the car is lowered only 20-30mm?

whiteline arms are fine for street, they use a urethane bush.

offset bushes are cunts to use and i wouldnt recommend them to anyone.

So all I need to do is get rear or front and rear adjustable upper arms?

      RB25 S2 Idles but doesn't want to rev

      By Trilbyte · Posted

      Update for the sake of closure   Ended up getting the intercooler piping all sorted, new plugs and yellow jacket coils, and she was idling mint until it warmed up while I was bleeding the cooling system. Found the misfire to be localised to cyl 3 by unplugging coilpacks, ran a compression test, that checked out, then decided to get a mate to check if that spark plug was firing out of the motor. Upon cranking it over, with the injectors disconnected, the car actually fired and ran on a couple cylinders and heaps of fuel came out the top of cyl 3 I'd say that injector's either spraying incorrectly or spraying far too much, which is fine as I'm planning on replacing them anyway I'm planning on making about 250kW on flex fuel, and have a set of 1000cc injectors from ozautosport, obviously overkill but I'm planning on building the motor and running more boost further down the line, do you reckon they'd be too big for a smooth idle on 98? Thanks for the replies gents, much appreciated

      Nice modern Hypergear high flow would be perfect.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I'm confused. You said you want to "remove the clear coat from most panels" but it sounds like you are actually doing a full respray? Few random things to add -  If you chase the blistered paint with 120 grit, I can almost guarantee you'll chase it down to bare metal (that's fine). But if you paint the car from here, you'll have nice little indents where ever the blistered paint was. The new paint won't magically level out the low areas, you need to fill them. Which leads me to the main point I wanted to add, make sure the whole car is flat before you paint it. All those areas with blistered paint you sanded out, make sure to fill them and triple check they are flat with a block guide coat. I'd also check the whole car is flat with a large block and guide coat but yeah up to you if you want to go that far.

      300hp (225kw) is barely outside the standard turbo's range with a bit of extra boost in it (200ish). If you are going to change the turbo you should aim for 250-300kw (330-400hp) to make the expense worthwhile

      A couple of things, firstly omg that turbo is expensive! $3,000 USD for dinosaur technology is robbery. You could buy a G series turbo and have a good amount of change instead.  If you want a good budget option, have a look here - https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/ If you are keen to spend more, have look at the modern turbos, Garrett G series, Borgwarner EFR, etc. Have a look at the RB25 dyno results thread for inspiration.  If you upgrade your turbo to something that will support the 300hp you want and only "probably" have Haltech ECU, your car will only "probably" run. Actually, no it won't run. You are going to need the ECU and injectors at the time you do the turbo upgrade.  No thoughts on "this much boost" as you didn't say how much boost that actually is. Having said that, plenty of unopened RB25's making even more power then what you are chasing.
