Just checked CS and they only sell camber and toes bolt kits 1 kit per wheel. I just need toe bolts? Plus they all seem quite expensive for just some eccentric bolt?!?

Just after rear toe bolts for a 2003 car. Need them asap so UK sellers better Thanks guys

They didn't have a hunter later set up at the shop mate. very basic TBF but were 5 mins from my house and seem to know what there doing lol..

You need toe bolts or just by toe arms and be done with it. I needed them and I'm not low at all.

So I am miles away from getting the car under 1400KG.... With new passenger seat I lose 7.5.... Carbon hatch will save me another 15-20kg... Racing battery 6-10kg... 37.5kg max from those

Also the rake angle was 15mm front to rear to start with and this has been reduced to 10mm due to my lack of rear end grip.

Just picked the car up from the set up. He did say they have had issues as you always do but safe to say the car is almost underivable lol... on the way home 40mph felt dangerous as the back end was moving about over bumps and shaking the car about while cruising. Im hoping its this huge amount of rear toe in causing these issues. I'll tell you why in a second. I dropped the car off this morning to have it set up. It need alignment and corner weight/cross weighting. I get a phone call at 2pm saying they have run out of adjustment on the toe bolts on the rear and its at 10mm in EACH side!! I've quickly ordered some drift works toe arms tonight and will fit these ASAP to sort this issue. The have completed the the rest of the set up and it just needed to go back in for the toe adjustments when i have fitted the arms. Ready to go on the scales. On the scales. The car was set up with 100KG ballast in the driver seat too. Old skool racing string set up! Some of the notes of car weight and set up.. Car weight with just over 1/4 tank of fuel is 1469.5kg 20L of fuel weights 15.1KG so a basic dry weight eg. no fuel is 1454.4KG The end cross weights were this with ballast in the car. The car will be going back in with in the next few weeks to have the rear toe sorted so ill let you know how it feels after this!

Mirror less all the way.. I only use Sony gear now for my work and the image quality is excellent.

Just fitted my DW rear arms today. Pics In my buldthread

UPDATE Car goes in monday for set up so I needed to get my camber arms on ASAP. Local DIY garage again Removing the old arms... WOW the car is dirty underneath i WAS clean a few months back lol.. Eccentric bolt section You have to drop the roll bar off on both sides to get the bolt out. New arms in place. The length was matched to the old arms to make sure I'm not a million miles away on camber until monday

Yeah Mark have Adjustable drop links etc. I think there gonna disconnect the roll bars set up and then adjust the drop links to match. I think I'm just gonna get cross weights correct as I know you can't really adjust the front rear set up etc. Mark do you have any idea on best rake angle for 350z's?? There using 100KG ballast in the driver seat (I'm looking to lose weight lol) too. We have found around 10/15mm rake works best. We measure on the car sill lips (that hang down) approx 15mm from each end of the sills. I must admit my Red track car needs a little more rake feels like it has too much weight transfer when exiting the corner under power maybe needs a little more weight ont he front , if we harden the damping up we just break traction , we aren't to stiff on the springs either , think 10kg front 8 kg rear (roughly) from my memory. Thanks mate, that looks like a far amount of rake! I have the nismo side skirts so can i still measure these?? I was looking at going off arch to floor hight? or is that not the best?? I know chassis rail would be better but its a PITA to measure

Be interested to see what the car weighs now youve taken pretty much everything out ! Whats your guess ? TBF i don't even want to guess. Its a TT car so heavy due to that but I would hope a decent amount lighter. I still want new pax seat plus CF boot lid and doors so that will help too Mines a right fatty @ 1630 kg ! With half tank of fuel . WOW yeah lol.. where did you measure that??

UPDATE Clear coat has cured now. Masking coming off. Mr Post man has dropped off some Alu plate for me to make up a heel rest from All masking off and seats refitted. Passenger seat is back in for corner weighting on monday as my new passenger seat will not be here yet. Next job was to fit my carbon dash blanking plate for where the radio head unit was. After making a card template the CF was masked off and clamped between two bits of wood to cut on a chop saw. Nice clean cut Very tight press fit into the back of the dash. Some very small tabs needed to be removed with a chisel. Added a bead of clear silicone to make sure it does not come lose. Re-Fitted. Now to make a heel plate next and fit my new camber arms.

My car is being balanced and set up Monday

Finally finished the clear coating... PITA due to @*!# British weather. Oh well best i could do in the spitting rain/high wind. The car is drying now outside so ill snap a pic later

Thanks mate! I will try and get to a few show this year but I'm just tied up all the time lol.. Futre mods are on my little "to do" list

Finished of the masking this morning ready to start laying some paint First coat of etch primer down I did a few coats of etch primer just to make sure it was a nice even base layer and dried it off with a hair dryer to help speed things up as its cold and damp outside today Struggled with little bits of dust from the clean up coming lose with the hair drier These had to be sucked up with a gentle hoover. First dusting of nissan WV2 gunmetal Few more coats. Passenger side looks like this too but forgot total any pics lol.. Car is now drying off overnight. Ill shoot the clear coat tomorrow Looking miles better now its painted!

Edits mods please delete

Hi mate, yeah the R888's are great. Ive had a set of new ones on the front for ages now and did have a set of old part worns on for awhile but there were well past there best. Im running the car at a lower 33-34psi on the back too as its lighter now and OEm 35psi in the fronts. Cant wait for a little bit of sun to come and dry the roads off so I can see what there like!!

Just mine of drift works 10% off at the moment and good quality.

The tires were quite well priced now as there the older version of the R888 vs the newer R888r. Irn brew I'll delete some messages now. Marz cheers mate!

Final prep work done today More cleaning with a drill wire brush. Safety first LOL..The seam sealer makes a ton of nasty dust. Made a start on the job of masking off the dash and rear section of the car. Cat came to help mask the car off. Fully masked off now, just need to do the head liner, doors and rest of car tomorrow. Then on to etch primer Another shot of the new meaty tires MR Postman turned up too! Some beefy new drift works rear camber arms.. On sale and lifetime guarantee! I have removed another few hundred grams of sealer but this has gone in the hoover

FINALY SOME REAR GRIP! I for got my phone so no pics of the old tires coming off on new going on but when I got home heres some detail of the new meaty rears! Only have about 5 miles on them so not really heat cycled or scrubbed in but I got grip in 2nd gear in the damp!!Made up!
