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.

    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
    • Don't do what I did, use a 300000km old housing with billet gears. The old pump probably was clearanced with saw dust, Edward Lee's special engine treatment sauce and a good odo wind back. I had oil pressure issues, then replaces pump with new housing, new billet gears and 2x track day later binned a motor due to other oil related issues due to a previous engine builder. Long story short, buy a M2 or 3 or 4 N55/S55/S58 and enjoy life.
    • Yeah. "New pump" does not have to mean "massive pump".
    • Well, can you still get an OEM pump, and by the time you're buying a Nismo/N1 etc, just buy another aftermarket pump. It's better to have the pump able to flow more if its needed, than for your pressure to drop off. At any point in time, you're replacing the oil pump in a rebuild. Aftermarket pumps are likely going to be a better economical choice, and they don't have any negatives, even if they can flow more.   Also, when you're saying "replace the pump gears" are you meaning leave a 25+ year old housing in the engine with unknown wear, and just put new gears in? As that sounds silly to me, especially if you do have that minute amount of wear, that means your new pump gears now have a little bit more clearance beside them, which means, whelp, you may not get to build a lot of oil pressure or make a lot of flow.
