Not quite.

I'm investigating this because I added swaybars and found the car has handled worse afterwards, despite having a "recipe" that seems to work for others.

My car is not dumped but it's lower than factory and after doing some reading I found that I having LCAs below parallel (and stock castor up front) may be a big part of the unbalance in the setup.

At the last track day, it burned up the outside edge of the tyres more than it ever has in a single event. The car might now be too stiff with 8/6kg springs front and rear and 27m front adjustable (max soft) and 25mm (hollow) rear swaybar.

Or it may be that the tyres are just now at the limit (they are only 235 RS-Rs) but the wear on the outside edge implies the tyres are rolling over (despite having -3 front and -1.5rear camber).

So castor and Roll centres were suggested so I'm working on that.

bcozican: How much stuff around was it to weld in the plates to create the new mount points? As I didn't think the factory mounts had anywhere that much material to work with.

not that hard really - admittedly we had a tempate to work off as other cars I know had it done first

but make a template out of card then after a rough cut out a few cuts and shaves to get it to fit properly initally but once you make one side of one side up then just use it as a template and you can bang out the other 3 pretty quickly and weld tops and bottoms together for support.

yes cutting, grinding and drilling but can be done at home if your half handy... i cant weld but mate did that bit for me

I like you are not up with the full massive techincals but my suspension / wheel aligner guy over here knows what he is on about and pointed me in this direction

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
