Standard Camber on r33

[Jpowys]

Hi guys,

I tried to search for the answer to this relatively simple question, but had no luck.

I'm just wondering what the standard camber would be on a r33. Mine has been lowered and consequently the insides of the tyres are paying for it since the negative camber has been increased.

I am purchasing the whiteline control arm camber adjustment kits and getting them installed through pedders suspension.

Pedders had a look today and said that my current camber is 1.7 and 1.8 on the fronts and 2.5 and 2.7 on the back. WHat would they have been standard? I am trying to work out whether i should buy two adjustment kits for the back, as they only give you .75% adjustment.

Any thoughts?

Any relatively immediate help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jeremy

Jeremy your camber doesn't seem extreme to me....did pedders say what toe-in you have on the front wheels? you may find you have a problem with toe not camber.

The rear does sound a little high to me, I think 2.0 would be heaps...

Thanks for the reply. No, toe is not the problem. I have ruled that out.

Does anyone know what are standard specs for camber and toe on the r33?

Thanks again in advance...

What I have read in the past, most people try to run about 1/2 deg neg on the rear which helps with traction and tyre wear.

My car is lowered about 2 inches running currently about 2.0 neg on the rear. I still get tyre wear and lack of traction.

I have bought a set of camber bushes, but did not get around to fitting them as they only give upto .75 adjustment.

Instead of buying 2 kits , I have bought a pair of rose jointed arms that can give as much adjustment as you want. To install 2 kits is a pain in the arse, the outer bush is mounted in the stub axle which makes removal of the old bush harder as they need to be pressed out.

You can get them from Aust. companys for about $400-500 or can get some from the USA ebay for about $250-275 new delivered. they are the same arms as S14 and S15 silvia.

I think the adjustable arms are a better option given that you can get alot more adjustment and alot quicker and cheaper to install as it is simple as removing 2 bolts and bolting the new arms.

My 2 cents
