bosozoku_gx71 Posted March 27, 2012 Posted March 27, 2012 Yeah I think mine is just off the stub axle but he hasn't touched the cast. Ive got a set of 14x9 steels with 185/55/14 tyres, should be fairly rediculous so we'll see how it turns out. Worst case can always sell them and go for 15's. Could also go for a pair of front ae86 springs cause I think they are 8kg at the front and 6kg in the rear. Quote
Fresh Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 The last few posts made here about the BCs will make more sense if you look at the photos in my main thread. Have just had my thread split up and put where it should be thanks to KK. Quote
AndyGal Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 How skinny is it looking now! This badboys coming to nats next year! Quote
Fresh Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Shit yeah, I'm already pining for nats again hahaha Quote
KKtrips Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Fuck yes - Nats next year won't have a chain, crane, skyhook or helicopter in the same hemisphere - plus its only 2 hours north of Wellington instead of 6.. HYUS!!! Quote
Chris.QCR Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Hell Yeah! Next year the north wont know what hit em! 10 times the cunts! Quote
Shandangles Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 gay news on the camber. IIRC these run the gay trailing setup, which cam be made camber adjustable by fitting cam lobe style bolts on one of the front mounts for the trailing arm, One does camber and one does toe from memory. kinda like this http://e30m3project.com/e30m3performanc ... /index.htm Quote
bosozoku_gx71 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I've got the same set up in the rear of mine with that camber Quote
Mitch.W Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 what problems did you have getting a cert? im doing exactily the same thing as your car( no adjusties in the front just low) and 1ggte any suggestions? car looks sick wish my one had nice paint Quote
Fresh Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Nice car man. Cert was a general bitch in every aspect. The new camber laws and tyre stretch laws make it hell. You cant have any camber in the rear so you will need to raise it up to about 120mm or somehow make the rear camber adjustable and wind all the camber out. Tyres will have to comply with the new chart. So pretty much have to run skinny rims with huge tyres to get them to fit in the guards. Had to get custom made adaptors for my wheel spacers and rims so they sit snug on the hubs. Front adjusties had to be crack tested after I got them welded but rear adjusties were sweet. Also having adjusties has been a god send otherwise I would have probably gone through about 10 sets of springs haha. As for the conversion I had a friend do all the work. Car was factory 1GGEU manual so made the conversion pretty simple. Merged 2x 1GGTEs into one with all the good stuff. Managed to get the winged front sump which sounds like a must as I have heard stories of people running bearings using the factory front sump from their 1Gs. All 1GGTEs come with a winged sump but most supras are middle or rear I think. Front only came on factory turbo GX sedans. FMI fitted real nice and snug with some pretty easy mods but had to rip out all the AC. Only thing that isn't working since conversion is the Tacho (I have Digi Dash). But pretty sure I have figured out how to sort that. Quote
Mitch.W Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 shit that is a pain in the ass... i have like a shit load of camber in the rear (70mm off the ground around 5degrees) i wanted to get it down to 50 or 40mm but that does not sound like its going to happen now.. yeah i was planning on having it in the car and running in about 1 week because its my daily driver. this is seriously annoying kind of putting my off doing anything if i cant get it certed. Quote
Fresh Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Yeah man it was all pretty lame but has been worth it. Mine is about 50mm off the ground and has a shitload of camber, like 5-10 degrees. Even at 100mm it still had like 3 or 4 degrees. Mark II was allowed 0.3-0.75 degrees from memory so yours would be same. If you find a nice wheel alignment person they might be able to do some number tricks for you Quote
Fresh Posted August 6, 2012 Posted August 6, 2012 Ill give it a clean and a polish and get my mate to DSLR some pics. Quote
nzcress Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 How are you going about getting the digi tach to work?? Man Im going through cert at the moment and have had to resort to factory wheels and having the rear sitting high lol. As long as my car gets a cert plate I dont mind too much as I will be slamming the car regardless Quote
Fresh Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Hey man, I have made up a Tach Booster as described here. Scroll down to The Witzls comment, I built one of those. Just need to put it in and see if it works. And yeah, I had 3degrees of camber at 120mm off the ground. Factory specs are 0.5-0.75 from memory lol. On a side note, you will need to remove the post from my main thread as don't think you are allowed to post in the project threads. Quote
ANT Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Shit yes. Get cressida front lip and cut the sides down to fit, slam that on there. Sorted. My Foglights = on 24/7, You too? Quote
Fresh Posted August 12, 2012 Posted August 12, 2012 Yeah need to find one from somewhere. Any leads? And nah fog lights have always worked as they should. Just had them on for fun today. Even got light sensors so they turn on automatically Quote
