looking for camber caster plates..

[icehouse]

I was actually thinking about that. I thought I could adjust the camber until it was what I wanted. What ever added caster I gained would just be a bonus. I was thinking of doing it to my rusty 4 door, since I already bought the plates. I wanted to just order the differnent plates for my buddys car. You could also center the crossmember if need be.

I have a quick question for you guys:

Have you all experienced having to buy slightly different harware than what is supplied with your s13 camber plates?
I got some on ebay and the attaching nut is to large a thread and diameter to fit a 510 or 280ZX strut insert.

Anyone have a picture of a ground control C/O kit assembled out of a car?
thanks!

What do you want to see on the GC C/O's?

[thisismatt]

Here are the GC c/o's from technotoytuning on shortened s12 200sx struts. The hat in that picture is from a different set of GC camber plates - the hats that came with the c/o's have too small of a bore to fit over the MR2 tokico inserts I'm using.

I see what you are working with there and wonder:
Did you have the top of the insert shaft machined down on a lathe?
is so is it hard for a skilled machinist to do?
I could easily take my GR2 inserts to a machine shop and have them turned i guess....

[thisismatt]

The insert is for an MR2...shorter than a ZX insert. I had the strut housing (s12 200sx) shortened by Byron here on the forum.

Yeah my car wont be that low, at least not here in Sonoma County.
Im using the 280zx inserts in the 280zx struts, so I should only lose 1.5" to 2" from just the struts and camber plates.

So no mods to the inserts then?

[thisismatt]

Nope. I should have plenty of travel considering how short the struts are now, meaning they won't be far into compression at normal ride height.

[gbean]

How low is it sitting?

[thisismatt]

Pretty high right now...it's upside down on a rotisserie

Wish I had the resources.....
