all these suspension arms are doing my head in...

so in the rear ill put in an adjustable camber arm and an adjustable traction rod. cant fit a castor rod.

but the front, can get castor arms, adjustable tension rods OR adjustable lower control arms (which includes a tension rod but doesnt look like the other tension rod in the pic).

Well yeah, the rear end doesn't have nor need castor.

i thought so too, but you can buy them for Z33 ??

that frustration when you spend a lot of time researching and arranging an informative post, go to post it, fails, press back, Ctrl+C.... 2mins later Ctrl+C something else and lose all the previous info.

I know dem feels... I just love watermelon so much...

My GTS-T is the best daily I've had. Occasionally wish it was more comfortable, but you can't have everything and the suspension/diff setup makes it such a confident and capable car to move around in - I feel safer driving it than brand new Commodores.

What's wrong with the BMW? Thought it was quite a sporty nimble car which would replace any skyline feels?

It's a great car and on paper it's the logical step up from a gts-t, but it just doesn't excite me a whole lot

I suspect with a few mods I'd come around, and the lack of police attention is refreshing, but Birds posting up links like that gets me weak in the knees. Could be the still painful theft f**king with my better judgment

Everyone who sells or loses their 33 misses it and that's all the proof I need that keeping is a good idea. That and my drives home from work are always over 9000

The fun factor that can't be bought in a new car - it's the character of a cheap and over-engineered powerhouse coupe from the 90s, back when cars weren't all about emissions, people gave no fks for economy, and we didn't try to stuff infinite amounts of de-skilling electronics into a car. Suspect it also has something to do with giving stick to a car worth less than 10k, so you don't care as much about breaking it...even though you never do, because 33 GTS-Ts are bulletproof*

*poles and thieves exempt

Y u do dis to me Birds :(

f**k I want it

Come on brah, that shit is chump change to your VWLBC status these days...whack third party fire and theft on it and it'll make you appreciate the Beamer more as a comfortable daily.

On a side note, I never appreciated my car more than when I had Alvin's auto as a daily driver. Daily and weekender is the way to go. You try to combine both and you're taking your compromise work chariot out for weekends = not the same.

    • What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.
    • I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.      
    • So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about
    • This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but.. 
    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
