yeah but that is more difficult than just dremeling out 2 mm on the coilover shock mount

i think he had to do it that way because their suspension is different on those cars?

But why are you trying to run over -3* anyways?

not saying i want to go over -3 but it would be nice to figure our why one side goes out that far and the other only goes out to -1. something is fucked...

Olly · 05-27-2011, 08:37 PM

S14 LCA is pretty good.. I think I'm running around -4.5* up front, could probably stretch it to around -6*

DertyDan · 05-27-2011, 09:26 PM

Just finished installing my kouki aero for the moment! excuse the ride height, i just put them on and havent had a chance to adjust it, too busy getting ready for a drift event tomorrow. plus i need a new downpipe, mine actually scrapes at THIS height...

And to get more camber, run S14 FLCA's, run S13 top bolt on S14 knuckle so you have an "eccentric" bolt, and notch your shock tower to make room for the allen bolts on the camber plate. I've got -6* on my front now and I haven't even notched the shock tower yet.

really, fuck...

im at 3.5 with just PBM coils, just enough for my tractor tires to clear the fenders with 7mm spacer

I'm on PBM too. There's about 3-4mm left on the camber plate up top that you can't use because the allen bolts hit the shock tower before you can max it.

I'm using led replacements for stock 240sx tail lights... 1157?

I wanted the position lights to function as blinkers so i could use the kouki signal lights as fogs.

what i did was cut off the bulb holder on a spare taillight i had.

then i epoxied it to my dmax position lights.

soldered the wires to the connector and shrinkwrapped.

led bulbs look like this.

mikefc · 05-28-2011, 02:07 PM

So you got them to work as both running lights and turn signals that way I take it?

dopplganger1 · 05-28-2011, 02:22 PM

my circuit sport mount keep the engine higher than the drift freaq mounts but not high like nismos so my pan is not hanging but i have no problem with the dmax hood or strut braces or anything.

also my stance GR+ pros have slotted hub brackets for more camber adjustment

Nismo Mounts sat my engine up really high and it was hitting the valvecover on the KP hood.
I run Drift Freaq's mounts now and it lowered it quite a bit.
Nismo for the Saftey!!!!

Pink Slut · 05-28-2011, 02:25 PM

i have the same, but i use 2 bulbs (both orange for the JDM looks :') )

isn't this how all coilovers are? they're designed like that you technically are maxing it

i assume you know this but you can move the allen bolts which is what you're supposed to do for max camber

either way to achieve more camber than stock on a s13 add s14 lca's and slot the shock mount hole on the coilover

You can do that using these PBM contraptions. They are quite cool. I installed them on my car, so I can have all my front lights on, yet allow the turn signals to still flash, and I hooked them up to my sidemarkers also, so they flash simultaneously with the turn signals.

All lights on.

Here is what it looks like when they flash.

I bet that looks super badass to other drivers coming towards you, aha.

ZX88 · 05-28-2011, 05:30 PM

did the front today fix my camber issues. the bolt on the top spindle hole was somehow bent pushing the coilover out giving me positive camber.

having correct camber in the front left alot of spece to fill in the fender wich is good cause i wanted to run a wider tire anyways.

I've been thinking of getting that PBM kit as well, lights look really good guys. Great fab work on your part Bushido!

pepe123 · 05-28-2011, 07:15 PM

It does. I'm running that. Just have to cut another square out of the plate for accessing the new position of the drain plug for oil changes.
