Hey guys i need to get my wheels aligned but the shop has the adjustment for toe in degrees and not mm

Any one know how to convert mm to degrees?

I've read up on some stuff but still not sure as some suggest using just the rim diameter but others suggest using the overall tyre diameter....i run 18"gtr wheels 235/40/18 up front and 265/35/18 rear

I plan on running 0* front and 2mm in on each side on the rear

Any links to calculators or such will be appriciated

Thanks

IIRC you can measure the distance between the front of both tyres and then the distance between the rear of both tyres. the differences is your Toe

in/out.

Ok guys this is the info. i aquired and this is what i'm going to use after lots of research...

Firstly you need to calculate the overall rim AND tyre diameter so using a 265/35/18

18" x 25.4 = 457.2mm

2(0.35 x 265) = 185.5mm

Total dia.> 457.2+185.5= 642.7mm

Next i want a toe of 2mm IN on either side so

Deg= 2(mm) x [ 115 / 642.7]

Deg= 0.357* for a toe in of 2mm per side

Toe IN is a positive value and toe OUT is a negative value

There are a couple of ways to calculate this but this method is the simpliest....well for me at least and i should note that you guys need to double check if your alignment shop reads toe in mm or degrees to make sure you are setting up your ride properly because it seems that all the newer machines measure in degrees and not mm.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
