Just ordered some Cusco upper A-arms and am about to order the rears. Right now with stock arms and lowered the camber is this:

FR 2.0 degrees

FL 2.3 Degrees

Both Rear 3.0 Degrees

What should I adjust it to?

I am running GTR sways and Bilstein stock style struts. I was thinking stock specs for spirited street driving. Occasional touge with no autocross.

Sorry if this has been addressed before as I suck at searching this forum.

for street and light track use 2-2.5 sounds about right. is it at the ride height you are after?

for more specific ideas we need to know what springs, shocks, sway bars, tyres, car weight and specific use of the car.

but more than 2.5o for street use will start to chew out tyres too quickly.

for more specific ideas we need to know what springs, shocks, sway bars, tyres, car weight and specific use of the car.

I am running Nismo springs and Bilstein struts. Not sure of the rates, but they seem to be just a little stiffer than stock. I just got them to lower the car. As far as sway bars, they are stock R34 GTR bars front and rear. Tires are normal off the shelf tires, nothing too agressive. Car weighs a little less than an R34 GTR. The use is street driving with occasional touge. As I am typing this, I think stock specs for the GTR might do nicely. What are they?

given what you have and how you are using it, I don't think you should change the front camber at all. 2-2.5o is the most you would want for a mostly street driven car, especially on standard road tyres.

3o at the rear is way too much, you should get adjustable bushes for the rear and bring it back to 1.5o, 2 at the most.

If you want to spend some money on suspension (great idea), buy a set of nice, hard sway bars. You'll love the difference.

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
