Best performance street wheel alignment settings?

[slayer]

Hiya, what is the recommended wheel alignment settings for a R33 GTS-T?

Will be getting the car tweaked up for registration this week, and looking to get a good alignment on it for street work.

Had my girlfriends FTO set up without providing any setitngs and they gave it 0 degrees toe front and rear, and wanders all over the road now

Thanks

Conrad

check out the whiteline site - www.whiteline.com.au

They had a R33 GTSt development car, they should have worked out the optimum settings.

Wouldn't that be Paul/Onarun/1rismo's car?

You should post the settings (that whiteline suggest) so that everyone that is interested can see them too!(only trying to be helpful for the people of the fourm)

T=touring S=sport (types of whiteline kits)

for R32 GTR:

.………..Camber…….Caster……....Toe…..

.…………..Deg ……….Deg…….....mm/side.

Front T.…-2.0……L2.5 / R2.0….…0.0….

..……. S.…-2.5……L2.5 / R2.0….…0.0….

.Rear T.…-1.0……….n/a………...0.5mm in

……....S.…-1.0……….n/a………...0.5mm in

R32 GTS-t:

.………..Camber…….Caster…..….Toe…..

.…………..Deg ……….Deg……....mm/side.

Front T.…-1.5……L6.0 / R5.5……0.0….

..……. S.…-2.0……L6.0 / R5.5……0.0….

.Rear T.…-1.25……..n/a……….0.5mm in

……....S.…-1.25……..n/a……….0.5mm in

R33 GTS-t:

.………..Camber…….Caster……...Toe…..

.…………..Deg ……….Deg……....mm/side.

Front T.…-1.5……L7.0 / R6.5……0.0….

……....S.…-2.0……L7.0 / R6.5……0.0….

.Rear T.…-1.0………..n/a………...1mm in

……....S.…-1.5....…….n/a………0.5mm in

R33 GTR:

.………..Camber…….Caster……....Toe…..

…………....Deg ……….Deg……....mm/side.

Front T.…-1.5……L5.5 / R5.0…..…0.0….

……....S.…-2.0……L5.5 / R5.0…..…0.0….

.Rear T.…-1.0……….n/a………...0.5mm in

….....S.…-1.0……….n/a………...0.5mm in

Please note that these settings are only the ones that whiteline suggest for their lowered cars!(though I used the same specs for my car and works great!!)

P.s Inside tyre wear will be a little problem for those who use 2 or more degrees of camber!(from previous experience with my car.)

I would suggest that more caster than they reccomend would be beneficial...also a little toe out on the front would be beneficial.

I run:

for and r32 gtst

Front : -2.5 camber 1mm toe out +7-8 caster

Rear : -1.4 camber 0 toe

I have removed the hicas rack from the rear and I find that with the front set up as above it has more than enough grip to have the rear toe pretty straight....with the stock gtst setup I found the rear had great grip and would push the front into understeer very easily...had to run toe out on the rear to get the front to turn in.

You really have to experiment a bit...make sure you keep a record of what you r settings are and note the differences in handling...then next time you get an alignment you will have a better idea of what might suit your car and driving style.
