G-Attack R-tune :) I can adjust the spring damper rates on the dial on the top of the struts.. but I to adjust the camber u need camber plates or a camber kit..

Yes Troy, answer my PM punk! ;)

Roy, what's a good camber setting you would recommend? I think the stock camber is set at 1 degree... so maybe increase of 1-2 degrees negative? I want about 3 deg. negative on the front.

My car is heading into centerline next Friday to have the suspension installed and the rest of the setup done so I'll let you know how I go. What did you pay for the R-tune's if you dont mind me asking? New or used?

LOL...dont ask me. I played with my susp settings trying to gain a second or two and went backwards.

Depending on the castor etc you are running, i found 3.5 deg way too much. The car had alot of mid corner push/ understeer. I think it came back to the fact that there wasnt enough tyre patch on the road, as running plenty of castor gives you dynamic camber when you turn the wheel, so running too much static camber just reduces the amount of tyre in contact with the road whereby hurting braking/traction.

Onmy car 2.5deg C seemed to work well. BUT thats my car which has swaybars, different ride heights etc etc so your car will most likely be different. If you want to get close first go talk to an expert, when i started playing my cars handlign went backwards, but at least i learnt what doesnt work and why :)

Ill have a temp probe to measure tyre face temps ont he day, so will soon get an idea of you are workign the tyres properly ;)

Do Cefiros run susp similar to the S13? ie Struts v wishbones? Sounds like they might. What shocks are you running, and im assuming you have adjustable strut tops.

If so then yeh you can tweak camber using that plate looking thingie that the shock top pokes through, and then you may be able to change the rebound etc of the shock by tweaking the knob on top of the shock body. Make sense?

well I did see a blue r34 with about an inch of tread missing on the outside of the front right. Those 4wd cheater just get to rotate rims all around so they can make them wear better. But its still the same problem, the car rolls onto the shoulder of the tyre

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.

      It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

      Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
