The fronts would be pokey with less camber (-3.4 degrees)
I'm doing wheel alignment and fitting up tyres tomorrow, I might take a little bit of camber out because it's chewing out my tyres too hard, I'll see how my 16x8 +2 fit with 205/50r16 and base the camber from fitting those.

Changed over to VR Commodore calipers and QFM A1RM pads. I bedded them in but haven't had a chance to test them properly yet. I have all the fittings for my handbrake, just need to get into my friend's workshop to use his flaring tool. Then do radiator flush and new thermostat, and ready for Matsuri!


Is this ok? This is the way the calipers came so I just installed them the same.. Are the brake line and bleed nipple the right way? The fitting for the nipple seemed to taper down and fits well.. Can anyone check on their VR/VS for me? I would have thought the bleeder nipple should be on top (obviously) but this is how they were taken off the VR with the bleeder nipple on bottom?

Also my tyre collection for Matsuri / IDA Day

And a shot of the castor on the front

Thanks guys!

the bleed nipple is on the top on mine. least its not a hard hing to change.

 

[sweefu]

Yeah I've only ever seen bleeder at top, obviously to bleed the air out. That's funny, I wonder how long the VR I took the calipers off had been driving around with the bleed nipple in the wrong place lol.

 

[Clint_G]

how did you go bleeding them. did you get a firm pedal.

 

[sweefu]

Yeah it feels like normal, but I only bled them quickly, enough to bed in the pads up to 80km/h around the block. I haven't been for a proper drive yet.

Here is a compilation from Wakefield Drift Matsuri last weekend

So much lock on a 31. You running rack spacers and/or S13 lower control arms?

 

[sweefu]

Indeed, very good lock for stock! In the front I am running:

S13 LCA/Hub/Knuckle/Brakes
R31 Adjustable castor arms
N12 pulsar tie rods
S13 tie rod ends
HSD HR Coilover too

More lock than a stock S13 I'm led to believe.
