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)
