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.

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
