1. You can adjust your stock eccentric washers to get *some* camber
2. You'll need aftermarket RUCA (and rear toe arms) to get any decent amount of camber.

Research how to adjust 240sx RUCA and apply it to the arms you have

There is no adjustment on the top of the rear coilover like there is on the front coilover.

As stated you need aftermarket rear upper control arms.

While I would have researched it more myself, you need to at least understand some basic things about what you're researching, or you're essentially pissing in the wind.

It's not like you're going to get far learning about how to develop an airplane unless you know the terms to make it right?

I know I know, why am I being nice...I dunno. But at least the dopey kid took three seconds to look stuff up, and even posted the thread he found.

Take it to a shop and have them do it. Alignment is not something you want to play around with if you do not know what you are doing.

so you must get toe arms aswell or when you adjust camber your toe will be super whack correct?

You should also tell the shop guys that you are trying to be part of a trend called 'hellaflush'. Most car guys will understand what you are talking about.

All jokes aside, I hope you are not going more then -3. If you do, enjoy buying tires often. Toe is more important for tire wear though.

Im not trying to go hellaflush or crazy camber.
I rolled my fenders and still scrape tires occasionally and id rather not blow out my tire from it cause its chunking a bit already

It is a dynamic system. You cannot adjust one without it effecting the other.

Very little toe in or out can have drastic effects on the feel of the car. If you have a set of smart strings, toe gauges, or a Hunter Dsp600 Alignment Rack by all means have at it, but if you do not you might want the pros to do it.

I despise bringing it into shops where i live. Anywhere you go they'll rev it through the roof if you just have a exhaust.
Id prefer some tips on how to adjust by myself

Unless you have some sort of alignment rack or gauge, you will not be able to align it yourself.

Eyeballing it does not cut it when it comes to alignment.

You live like an hour from TF works, have them do it so you know it's done right.

I have 2 news for you :

Bold part > you cant, no matter how hard you wish you coud. Toe setting is about minutes, not degrees. Even with a laser system, it is still hard to set it.

Now for the interesting part : unplug your MAF and you car wont rev past 2500rpm (thats limp mode for you)

OP is 18 and doesnt want to pay for alignment because shops rev the shit out of his car. he should shotgun himself in the face for being stupid and find a better shop.

I completely agree with MOST of the stuff here, he should have done research. But you have to remember we all start somewhere. Why not just help the kid out and give him some knowledge and not flaming? Just a thought. It's stuff like this that makes people (including me) step away from zilvia.

I understand your deal with shops revving the piss out of your engine but its either that or have a car that won't drive that without input from the steering wheel.

Unless you have alignment tools, TAKE IT TO THE SHOP.

He is the sales rep for Hunter and can hook you up with a Hunter ProAlign system:
