hers the suspension list.

nismo lmgt2 17*9 255-45-17 tyre

midori adjustable front upper arms

tein adjustable caster rods

k-sport coilovers (shut up they ride really well(and dont leak or break ur back)

10kg/mm (552lb) front springs

7kg/mm (365lb) rear

white line front and rear adjustable swaybars

rear cradle locking pinaples

floor brace/

front and rear tower bars

removed hicas.

field ets controler.(will post wiring diagram when i have the time)

im after a set up suited to fast ROAD type settings.

eg. front + rear toe, front camber.

the rest is cool.

im not after full race settings (not 6deg neg on the front etc)

any guidence would be much apreciated.

the alignment is 0 on the front

+5mill on the rear (total)

3 deg camber on the front

1.75 on the rear

about 7 deg +caster

turn in is good but as soon as the car settles in to the corner it starts understeering quite badly.

it feels as if the back of the car is lifting up and overloading the front tyres.

this is with the front and rear swaybars on there softest setting. and the shocks on their 1/4 hard setting.

are these spring rates suitable for these swaybars?

Couple of questions:

Why so much toe in at the rear? Less toe in will make the car more neutral (All else being equal)

What ride heights are you running front & rear?

    • Everything I found online said never use it because it'll dramatically reduce belt lifespan.  No, but I have seen excessive v-belt tension cause the audible bearing noise from excessive radial load in things like alternators. So don't overdo it. Ideally you set it to manufacturer spec using a proper belt tension guage. I tried the "clicker" type gauges but those cheap things are trash. They read way too low even when you're careful.
    • This is kind of where I've ended up for the most part. It's easier for me, easier for shops that don't have to deal with my weird criteria/picky standards, etc.
    • Will do. Suprised if it's not the starter motor considering it's 30 years old. Will get a volt meter though. Battery is close to new.   Cheers for your help, always appreciated.
    • This almost never happens these days. No. Clean your battery terminals and make sure they are tight. Use sandpaper on a dowel if you have to, to get oxidation off the inside of the terminals, particularly on the -ve. Check the earth cable from battery post to chassis ground and engine ground. Make sure the contact surfaces are clean - including the threads on the bolts that anchor them - because that's where a lot of the contact occurs. Wire wheel on a drill is a good thing for this. Make sure the crimps on those cables are all sound. Assuming none of that causes an improvement: Check the battery voltage after it has been resting for a while. If it's at the lower end of the range, put it on charge for a while, then see if it will crank better.
    • I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?
