got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Were you in Tassie?

[66yostagea]

Today I have decided to eventually turbo the 25G.

Yup

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

I.ll scan it in, didn't realise the quality was so bad

Installed an 8 point earthing kit and, yes, including the transmission bracket when earthing an M35 makes a bit of difference to gear shifts (still nowhere near a shift kit obviously)

dropped mine at the workshop to finally get the revalve kit for the front shocks fitted: hopefully handles like a demon again once I get it back...

All that's left now is to get the roof rail replacement kit fitted and painted, than tidy up the engine bay...

wang some oil down that bore, if it comes up then its the rings orring lands

if it stays down then its in the head which would mean that you don't have to rebuild the block

rnd 3! the first settings on the front are way off cos i changed the steering rack ends

and aster is adjusted with the stock bushes, you only get a tiny bit of adjustment tho

am i lining it up correctly, does that say -16.96 degrees left and +3.02 Degrees right for caster?

yeah, might ask them about that cos it still pulls a tiny bit to the left (no road camber correction) but i guess they only measured the caster on one side?

[KiwiRS4T]

Here is my suspension settings recipe. You obviously can't get this amount of castor without adjustable arms so i have adjustable castor arms and adjustable rear camber arms. Can't afford the front camber adjusters at this point. You can get a small amount of adjustment with eccentrtic bushes. The value of lots of castor is straight line stability at high speed. If you can't get as much as you want you want them at maximum and then back off rhs to 1/4 degree less than lhs.

There has to be an error in the print out. With that much + caster on the left and so little on the right it would be undriveable.

You would probably find your wheel hitting the rear of the wheel arch on the left side and the front of the wheel arch on the right.

Stagea is in the shop getting GPS tracking fitted to compliment the alarm/kill switch/club lock. f**k thieves!

Goes for a dyno tune next week. Aiming for 220-230 awkw from the stock injectors

Then next is Z32 afm and 550cc injectors.
