Still having stability issues

shadow85

Thanks chuck.

I started learning about the alignment settings today. Yep, getting familiar with camber, caster and toe-in/out effects because 2x motorsport alignment shops failed to educate me on it even though they both were in the $$$ price range of alignment services and were happy to take the money. The only thing they left me with, is come back if you have trouble.

I know I went into this adventure without much knowledge into the Z platform or even cars itself mechanically, I was hoping that if I pay the price I could have the professionals sort me out. Isn't that their job and what they charge so much for down here? I didn't go to any cheap workshops or budget friendly workshops, they were all the most reputable and pricey ones. So I was hoping that my hard earned money would be enough to see me through whilst I slowly learn about each little thing, but apparantly it has still proven to be more difficult than that.

But I did learn a great deal thus far, much of it thanks to you guys.

Oh I did not blindly buy parts and throw them on the car, I researched almost all the parts I bought minus a few such as the SPC upper camber arm. And I gave them to the professionals to throw on, and they all told me that everything I bought was of high quality stuff.

Yes you are rite, I have spent alot on parts and almost as much on labor and more than the car itself. I am nerly at 2011 GTR money down here. If I had of known how hard it would be to build a Z in South Australia before I would have just saved for that GTR lol.

Oh, and whilst the car is having stability issues I won't be turning TC off, so I won't hit a tree lol. I hit a curb one time because I had it off briefly and since then I do not turn TC off anymore, not until I am certain it won't lose control in a straight line.


I honestly thought I have been trying that already ?
Both the alignment shops I went to already, had a repuation for track cars and they both directly told me in FB messenger they do drag setups frequently. I am unsure if I made that clear or not in a previous post, but I feel like I don't have much choice down here now. Anyways, imma get the required SPL parts and retry another alignment from one of BGVT8s reccommended guys.

You've been trying, but because you don't know the questions to ask you can't tell if they're full of ****. That's why you need to get yourself to the point where you don't ask for a "good alignment", you ask for X degrees camber, Y degrees toe, etc.

Just because someone has a shop and works on cars for a living does not mean they are good at it. It just means they have a shop and work on cars for a living. It's hard to figure out who's good online since bad reviews always seem to disappear and the good ones stay up.
