Aligner is telling me if I can grab some castor arms before coming in that would be good as they're not adjustable factory and tend to pull left because they're a bit shorter one side from factory so they will pull left naturally. 

Any truth in that?

No - as Andrew points out it will pull left because of the camber of the road surface - he is referring to factory castor settings not arms. That's why SK suggests giving the LH an extra 1/4 degree of castor.

So are the factory arms adjustable? Offset bush or something?

EDIT: Just looking at pics of the LCA, didn't realise it was all one unit including castor with no adjustment essentially.

Given ride height of the car (even with it on max height as the BCs are just a low coilover) and all factory arms there was only so much that could be done. Car is driving straighter now though. 

Ended up with roughly:

Front:

Camber: Approx -1.5ish both sides

Toe: Approx 1mm toe out both sides

Caster was around 3.5-4 both sides, no adjustment in that factory, need to do the R33 conversion with separate arms. 

Rear: 
Camber: Approx -2 both sides.

Toe: approx 1mm toe in both sides.

See how it goes. 
 

Not bad, would have toed in a little more at the rear if you plan on tracking it but it does smash tyres unfortunately.

 

oh look, I drove your car around Hakone and Mazda Turnpike in November when in Japan haha.

Man the stock R34 GTR was so slooowwwwwwwww, lag, transient response sucked balls.

The lower output lets you savor the revs more in my opinion, i went from 270wkw relatively stock to 320wkw and yes it's quicker, but 270 with stock turbos and exhaust is plenty enough car to enjoy on the street without having to hang on for dear life/licence.

Track day has been done, car was quite prone to understeer and had bulk rear grip. Needed more front camber and not to be running 400 treadwear tyres, yes I said 400 lol

Lots of tyre squeel.

3 deg front camber seems ideal for track but will be a pain on the road. Cusco camber arms are quality. Have you upgraded your rear sway bar? That should help with understeer.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
