First, I want to give a huge thanks to this forum already. Without you all, my Laurel would still have a locked trunk and I'd be paying a locksmith to get in. I live in the US and we recently started getting R32s, A31s and C33s because of a law that makes them classic cars over here after 25 years. Unfortunately, shops don't have specifications for anything on the cars. Was curious if anyone knew and could give me the stock alignment specs for a C33. I'm trying to fix some alignment issues, but the shop said they couldn't do much without knowing what the alignment should be from factor.

I'm on coilovers as well, so if you have better specifications to make the car stable, I'm all ears. I spend a lot of time around 110 - 130kph if that makes a difference.

Thanks

Here's the new alignment specs for the C33. The shop based them off an S13. They happened to do a heavily modified, very low one the day before so it ended up being pretty easy for them.

Thanks to anyone who at least gave some thought to it. Hopefully this will help someone in the future.

Cheers

just dont run 24" rims as in the above alignment picture :nyaanyaa:

general car alignment should be the same as s13 + what ever feels better

front
camber- pending how much grip you need while turning, how long you want your front tyres to last from camber wear 2.5 deg should be nice and grippy
even for both side 7-8 deg castor pending how you want steering wheel to flick back, think stock is 6 deg maybe..
front toe 0.5mm toe each side so total toe 1mm

rear
least amount of camber unless fitment game rules over grip
toe is usually driver preference, least amount for straight line grip, adding more and playing around can help with stability while drifting

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
