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.

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

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By PotatoCake · Posted

      Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult

      Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust?

      Rb25det vs Rb25de rods and crank are same?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.

      Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
