Ok guys, I just lowered my R32 GTSt, and have noticed that the rear wheels are very uneven as to how they sit under the guards. The right side has more camber and sits further into the wheel arch than the left. I will try to post pictures tomorrow, but does anyone have any ideas?? It may have been that way before, I didn't notice if it was, maybe cos the suspension was higher. Is it possibly something bent in the rear sub-frame?? Is this going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix? Please help, any info would be appreciated.....

I used to have a VS Commodore V8 with IRS. That was lowered with the whiteline kit.

It had massive camber on the rear end and from memory the left wheel had more camber and appeard to sit up in the guard slightly more.

What the bloke did was fit the $500 4 way camber and castor kit then to even the car out he placed small spacers under or on top of the springs. Due to the left wheel having more camber when the camber was corrected the left side sat higher. hence the right hand side also had to come up slightly with those spacer things I was talking about.

I had my suspension done at a Bridgestone suspension and steering place.

So yer its not a big deal. :)

Measure it form the centre of the wheel to the guard (vertically) on all 4 corners. Then post the results up and I can give you some idea of what may be wrong. :)

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
