I think your camber is way off the spec.

[G50 Q]

I think your camber is way off the spec.

lol u sure about that...

Yes, it is somehwere around -8 degrees in the rear.

[G50 Q]

Oh yea.. one more... you guys might enjoy this pic

(excuse the crooked intercooler)

[Falkdesigns]

Ok, why in God's name do you need rear spacers? The fronts, maybe a little, but the rears look just right!?!? Anyhow, it's a very nice looking car. I don't like that much negative camber myself (about 2-3 is my preference), but each person has different taste and overall, it looks really good.

lol cause there is about 5-6mm of clearence in the back now.. and i can't stand it.

Thanks for the compliment.. we'll see how much farther i'll take it, although I think imma bout done with it.. maybe some exhaust.

Tell me more about this Fleetwood, or is it just an older Deville?

Yea, lookslike something's up with the hosting site .

I'll check back later, but the one attached (crooked IC) gives me an idea >

[Jesda]

Right click on red X, open in new tab/window.

Or you could turn the eccentrics out a little bit and decamber the rears and bring the tires close to the fenders again

Thats what I was thinking... Just increase the camber (decrease the negative camber).

[Clyons0203]

what kind of wheels are those?

[midnightsliding]

awesome i think everyone overlooked the skyline...but nice Q. and what engine is in the r33?rb25det maybe? what kinda of number is it making? ECU? imthinking of runing haltech on mine IM me sectioneightVIP so i dont jack ur thread.

They are turned all the way positive...

I shortened the ruca's a little too much.

do you have adjusties?

I think your suspension is a wreck and a stock Camry four banger would blow you into the weeds on the first turn or bump. So sad.

What you think I'm new??? . I tried that at the time and got an error from the server that was hosting them, they appear to be working fine now.

Then again unlike you, i don't consider to be a performance car... AT ALL. Becuase it's simply not. If I wanted to outhandle something i would drive my s14.

So please, keep thinking you drive a performance car that runs 15's and handles like **** from the factory or other wise.

[chinaonnitrous]

HAHAHhAhAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAHA

We have a negative nancy over here.

[Bwana]

I wish my Q was that straight

It looks good, but I'm not a fan of extreme camber either...

[Falkdesigns]

... i don't consider to be a performance car... AT ALL. Becuase it's simply not.

But you are wrong here. It IS a performance luxury sedan, that's what it has always been considered. Performance is part of the Q45's prestige and history. No, it's not a sports car, but it was designed from the beginning to be a high performance luxury sedan which it definitely is. The 2nd gen Q comes STOCK with front AND rear strut tower braces, VLSD, advanced ABS, suspension parts that are shared with Z AND Skyline, and plenty of power. I love to push my Q, however, everyone has different goals with their projects, and for you, a cruiser with great looks is what you're after, so taking a bit of performance out of your Q doesn't bother you, and that's totally fine, after all, it's your dang car!

[hannibal]

Got camber?

It reminds me of a dog lifting his leg to piss on a fence.

Nice wheels. Look like Work VS somethings, haha.

[Jesda]

This is why I asked him about the Cadillac Fleetwood in that photo.

[Rex]

awesome i think everyone overlooked the skyline....

I sure did, what pic is the skyline in??

I like the wheels, but the height/offset/fitment is a bit beyond my taste, but each to his own. If we can't accept that someone likes something different, then it's a sad world.

[RobertsnewQ]

The R33 in his second post.

I agree. If you don't like it, don't "be a hater" as they say.

[G50 Q]

Yea the skyline is a gts-t, it's a series 1 rb25det

It put down 266whp a couple weeks ago on the dyno, with a intake and a fmic., stock boost, stock exhaust.

I definatly don't care that the car itsn't his taste... it's just his "q45's are god's gift to performance cars" attitude that is annoying.

The fact of the matter is if you want a car that will handle well a Q45 is not the car to start with. and i sure as hell wouldn't brag about out handeling a toyota camery.. i mean maybe he thinks that's an accomplishment but whatever...

Like i said I have a car that is built for the sole purpose of handleing, which i have no doubt would out handle any q45 on this board including his. So does that make his suspension a wreck becuase my 240 can out handle his car? no, it just means he drives a 4000lb car that doesn't handle well period. I'm sorry but, sure you can make a q45 handle "ok" but really what's the point?

[G50 Q]

VS-KF

[Falkdesigns]

Have you seen what a new Porsche 911 Turbo weighs lately? It's not far from the 4000 pound mark. I can't figure it out, but cars are getting heavier and heavier, yet faster and better handling. Nextel Cup cars weigh OVER 4000 pounds, but they go 200 mph and corner over 2.5 G's. Do you think your 240 could take a BMW M5? Those are 4000 pound cars that are bullet fast and have sports car handling. Sorry bro, but Q45's are excellent handling cars to start with. (Not trying to argue here, but just point out that the Q45 IS indeed a good handling car, even in stock trim.)

Now, you're in a different situation than most of us, you have another toy to have fun driving fast, and you have your Q to build solely for looks. More power to you!
