datsunfreak Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 They're not too bad, i need to tweak the hood for sure. Looks like you may just need to install the rubber bumpers to level it out? Quote Link to comment

macgyver Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Came yesterday!! New rear 14x7(0) to replace the 6.5's. Not sure if I should just pay to swap Both tires over and risk them not fitting or just one to test fit than go back for the other. Lol. They should fill in the gap and give me the staggered look I was after. I might sell the pair I have left over after I'm done setting/figuring this out. :). Quote Link to comment
macgyver Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 That is a sweet car man.Thanks edekalil. She's getting there. Need to concentrate on the interior and just clean up the engine bay some more. Quote Link to comment
macgyver Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 So the new wheels looks perfect but the tires were a shade to wide, If I go to a down to a 185 she would tuck under with zero issues. So once I burn up these rear tires, il put them on. :) I was rubbing on that little L shaped piece which is the rear door sill. Not too bad but Just enough to piss you off. Lol. Quote Link to comment
zianian Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looking cool man. I thought of her today. Thought I would stop by. A new windshield will make you want to drive it more and more. That thing was horrid with the sun right/wrong. That diff gives me a chubby. Makes me smile. Paint is cool too. Enjoy the drive. oh... have you reset the GPS speedo top speed? Did you top it? 120 was freaking thrilling. Take care all. Be safe. Quote Link to comment

DAWOLF Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 Great video, when you lower a car right on coilovers, can you still be able to have an alignment done to your car.. . If it's not a stock height the alignment goes off.. Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Great video, when you lower a car right on coilovers, can you still be able to have an alignment done to your car.. . If it's not a stock height the alignment goes off.. Yes, you can get it aligned still. But you should have it aligned any time you adjust the height. Some places want to charge by the hour if the car is has coil overs or deviates from the stock settings. I ran into this.. but eventually just took it to the Nissan dealer of all places. (My friend worked there and I got a deal) Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Spent a couple hundred bucks and get some toe plates and a camber caster gauge and just do it yourself. Quote Link to comment

q-tip Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Yeah I just borrowed some toe plates and camber caster gauge from my buddies former employer. Quote Link to comment
macgyver Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 I had it aligned after I installed and set everything up but that was before the cv conversion. Now that I can go a little lower, might just spend the 100 buck to get it done again. Anyone have any #'s for a good road/track set up? Camber? Toe? Caster? Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 -2 camber 1/8"-3/16 toe out As much caster as you're comfortable with but I would say 5 is a good spot. That is what I am running, was suggestes for a mild track set up and it works well. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wait a second, -2 camber that means the top of your front rims are leaning towards inside but isn't going to wear out more the inside tires.. not wearing out even.. ? What about the rear wheels how much camber, +0 shouldn't be ok since it's going nothing but straight pushing the car forward, but the front wheels does the play left and right.. shouldn't be ok a -0.5 or -1.0 camber ? OR it depends the track size autocross (no drifting) if the corners are shorter tighter or long smooth curves.. ? I ask this questions more leaning towards autocross/circuits.. time attack but no drifting, I don't want that lol I want in and out as quickly as possible without loosing control or taking high risks as drifters do on corners.. .

Lockleaf Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 High camber allows aggressive turning because as the weight rolls on to the outside tire, it rolls onto the tread, maximizing contact patch through the turn. this reduces straight line contact and increases wear characteristics but those matter less on the track. 2 degrees is far from extreme for a tracked car.

q-tip Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 -.50 to -1 camber in the rear but you get that naturally with the 510's independent rear suspension. The negative camber and positive caster are for more aggressive track use, camber to allow for the tire to flex and caster to initiate the turn faster and keep the camber angle more progressive in the radius of the wheel movement. I've been running this setup described above for more than 5 years and it's will work for a street setup. Quote Link to comment
