I can only speak from experience of my R32 GT-R.

Wind in as much castor & camber as the adjustments will allow (Which isn't much)

Make sure you get all four wheels aligned.

Use the standard toe in measurements at the rear and half what Nissan recommend at the front.

This should reduce understeer slightly, give you a reasonably secure back end for the turn in and grip the car up through the corner.

im no expert...

the more camber and/or toe you put on for better performance expect to loose out on tyre wear.. depends what you want more, handling or tyre wear...

handling - ie track, then as much neg camber as you can

put as much postive castor on as you can as well...

toe i've been told to stay pretty neutral, think i have a tiny bit of toe on the rear, none on the front.

The car should have around 2.0 - 2.5 degrees neg camber as standard on the rear and 1.5 - 2.0 degrees neg camber on the front. For optimum tyre wear you want around 5.0 mm total toe in on the rear and 3.0 - 4.0 mm toe in on the front. Providing that your camber specs are around these figures. It will change depending on the camber values and depending on your suspension set up. For the track you want almost no toe in on the front and around 2.0-3.0mm toe in on the rear. Don't play around with the castor if you can help it. but if you have to, you can wind it forward as far as will go and it should increase steering stability in general. Make sure though, that if you do this that the castor is set up half a degree higher on the left, sometimes three quarters of a degree higher. You should expect to pay around 60-70 dollars for this type of four wheel alignment and make sure you watch them doing it so they don't do the dodgy on you.

Plus, if you have a huge exhaust, sometimes they can interfere with the Left rear rack end and burnt the locking nut tight. Just be prepared for a little extra work if they can't crack it.

post the stats up here when it is done or pm them to me and I will tell you if it was done properly. (I was a Wheel alignment technician for 6 years)

    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.  
    • Are you sure the gasket is blown? What are the issues? Thermocure is the only flush I've seen do anything with rust, very impressed with that, Prestone, rust will be by the pool having a cigarette.  
    • And since the flush you have a blown head gasket? Have you lifted the head off yet?
    • The answer is to get a hold of the wiring diagram, work out what voltage is supposed to be where, when, and then work out why it is not there, then. I can't speak to the HR34 stuff, because I have never paid any attention to the NAs. There is a possibility that the turbo diagram will help, but it could also be different - depending on whether there is an FPCM on the NAs.
