You probably just need a wheel alignment mate. Ask your local tyre dealer.

If you're driving around daily with seriously dumped suspension, your negative camber will obviously wear the insides of your tires b4 the outer tire... so a wheel alignment isnt going to solve the problem. It's something you have to expect if you run lots of negative camber to fit the wheel/tire under your guards when your car has very low suspension. Looks good but only get half the use out of your tires ! Hope they're not 19's :D

yeah, i have 17"s on my wheels.  

where can i get an adjustable camber kit? and get it installed aswell?

how do i correct the -ve camber? i also doubt its my wheel alignment...

Skylines don't have much adjustment when it comes to camber. Get adj. upper or lower control arm bushes and get it all aligned.

Simple fix.

Hi mate,

I got a mate that used to work at repco to contact nolothane which made the adjustable control arm bushes up for me.

Make sure the mechanic puts em on properly. I have 18" and my front tyres are stuffed now.

I then took my car to a place called Trackright in Dandenong and they fixed it up for me, they also do wheel alignments.

Hope everything goes well

take it easy

Mark

Go to Centreline for a good wheel alignment (thomastown).. they do all suspension mods/installations etc including whiteline kits.. gave me a cheaper quote than listed on the whiteline website.

9469-2914

I definately do not recommend B.J. at Preston due to more than one bad experience on 3 different cars. :

    • It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.
    • I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility   
    • I'd say one thing that may make you sell is the same reason the guy with the hard top roof sold his. He got old, and his back was giving him too much grief stopping him getting in and out... Old guy said he was 73! He looked and sounded younger than 73 to me! Or maybe I'm just aligning with old people more...
    • Already looked at a few prior to getting the MX5, really nice car, had all the mod cons, but I wasn't really sold on the new "look" I did miss my 2017 Limited, and I personally prefer the "look" of the older car over the new model, but, when pondering I kept going back looking at MX5's But it was same same for the new ND's, I wasn't sold on the new "look", especially the RF with its weird roof, which only half goes down, like a targa top sort of thing As I stated before, I did look at NC's, but the cars I looked at were PRHT's, but I didn't like their roof line "look" of the PRHT, until I saw the soft top version, (someone on SAU posted a for sale ad for one with a soft top that caught my attention, you can blame them for my choice.....🤣) and.... that old style detachable hard tops were available for them, which keeps the old MX5 more smoother flowing roof line, and the more rounded body style, similar to the NA-NB, to me, the arse end of the ND looks to "modern" Much like how I prefer the NC1 front bar, over the later models How long will I keep this car for is unknown, but currently, there's nothing else out there that "floats my boat" for a small, fun, little "sports car", that I can play with and enjoy looking at and driving But, who knows what the future holds, and going off current new car styling, if I replace it, it will be a older model something something       
    • looking forward to your t56 swap man its a game changer if it works!
