The Wasteland - ACT Style

[Got a Pulsar]

My fronts do this on the 33 ATM as I swapped in some which seem to be Crapus.

Time to put the originals back in and compare my Lovell Springs to the current Nismos.

Yeah this does that Bryce, I'll be going with a nice bilstein upgrade if it does turn out to be that.

I'm running Bilstein on all for now and thinking of changing to something else, I have been recommended Koni but I'm still thinking about it.

Bilstein > Koni

Why change?

[THE34T]

I'm still having tracking (wondering) problems, I've spent 3K on the front end plus some on the rear, had all experts play with it, i.e. Inline & Capital Steer & Susp ... Changed all four tyres (which did make a huge difference) .. now I've been advised to go with Koni shocks!!

I'm not an expert so I'm being guided buy those who say they are

Shocks really aren't going to affect tram-lining

I saw Zeb's work today.

It's full of cool stuff

[zebra]

Everyone at work wants your car haha

Thanks mate,

Yeah that's what I thought, however Capital Steering and Suspension say it will ... this is why I'm doing a lot of thinking!!

[zebra]

Well

I would go with what Chris says

[Duncan]

lol it's for sale for 20k.

but in this case I'd swap it for store credit

[Duncan]

BTW on tramlining....

if you've been spending money on front end bushes, while it can be expensive it's not wasted money IMO. Bushes wear and these cars sure aint new any more. I'm assuming you've change the caster rod bushes and upper control arm ones. there might also be a bush in the steering column, I'm not sure in the 34. there are also steering rack bushes and inner and outer tie rod ends.

if you've done all those, one thing that surprised me in my 33 was how much worse wide and sticky tyres are for tramlining. what size and brand/model of tyres are on the front?

[Duncan]

oh and shocks have no impact on suspension or tracking in a double wishbone setup like skylines. the wheel would travel through exactly the same angles even if the shock didn't exist. most cars run strut front suspension where it does make a difference

Balljoints, Tierods / ends, Steering Rack / Bushes / Bolts, Control arm Bushes, Wheel Bearings, Alignment, tyre pressure / width...

All things I'm going thru to stop the Wagz bump steering / tram lining.

All been done, most replaced

Then all checked by both Chris at Inline and (forget his name) .. the guy who owns Capital Steering and Suspension, no one can find anything wrong.

If Inline and Capital S+S cant find and fix it then thro car away - It's bent !

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Wheel track makes a big difference. As in how wide they are.

And its just the way it is, if you want wide wheels.

You could probably compensate/compromise to some degree with settings, but you need adjusty bits for that.

Mines bent and adjusted, it feels ok.

What is tramlining?

[dontyellpl0x]

Car following groves in the road. When you can actually feel it pulling on the steering wheel.

I noticed it in my car when I added some camber to the fronts
