I'm yet to find a single Kmac product which I can recommend to anyone, try talking to noltec or just about any other suspension manufacturer.

Bought the early sigma lower arms but they need new ball joints (been dragged around at the wreckers), should have them in soon. Looking at a complete R31 skyline/pintara rear end swap to get rid of the leaves and drums and dying diff in one hit, will see how it goes. Current problem is the secondaries, as soon as they open, the ol' girl dies and farts and missed something terrible. Whats the likely cause, whats the likely fix?

So we finished screwing on the last few bits of trim and then took it down and registered the bugger. Swung through repco on the way home and picked up new leads, plugs and points and thats greatly improved the horrible misfiring POS which lives in the engine bay, it still hunts and surges a bit under load, reasonably convinced its a carby problem. Might give it the $10 rebuild (strip it down, spray everything with carby cleaner, reassemble) to see if that helps. Anyone got a manual to be able to tell me the stock tune procedure for the carb (eg. mixture screw all the way in then out 2.5 turns?). Didn't make it to the wrecker for the sigma arms yet but it'll happen, there are two RA65s there so if glenno and rorge succeed with that upgrade we might try it too.

We ran the strings around the car to align toe, removed the 50mm of toe-in (48mm on the front right) which solved the steering feel so I think you guys were on the mark there. Still have more than the factory 0.5 degrees of positive camber, virtually every single piece of the front suspension was removed and dismantled so the answer to that question is everything. It drives well enough now to register so we'll do that tomorrow and perhaps go and buy our sigma lower arms and just whack them in to get a whole massive amount of negative camber. What is the lower arm bush problem with that swap and how do we resolve it?

So, we've got our project rolla.. Now, some time between disassembly for painting and re-assembly something has gone awry in the front suspension. We appear to have gained a degree or two of *positive* camber and the steering feel on straight ahead is very vague. What are we likely to have messed up? Are the strut tops offset? Can we have put anything else in backwards? Would love to solve it to rego it tomorrow.

Also by the Qld. DOT LVR KE50 = 883kg KE55 = 920kg
