Rear Tire Wear?
Surprisingly, camber does not have a huge role in tire wear. The usual culprit for side to side variations in tire wear is toe. When the tires have any positive or negative toe, they are literally scrubbing the pavement any time they are turning: /\ , \/. The spec for toe is usually very little...- Michael Murray

Suspension bushings
Mine were in good shape but I changed them to TKO Motorsports bushings. I have a 2-post and hydraulic press in the garage, and did all of them in I would guess 12 hours... that is not flat-rate speed either, that is tasting all the beer in the fridge to make sure it hadn't gone bad, kind of...- Michael Murray

Catless Check Engine Light
That's normal then! Sometimes it will take a while to set a code as the ecm has to see a specific driving cycle for it to know if the catalyst is indeed efficient or not. It will in no way whatsoever affect performance to have that code.- Michael Murray

Catless Check Engine Light
I will not be having grandkids. My grandpa never told me he didn't care (although I know he couldn't have cared less ❤) To the OP, 'O2 sensor failure' is far too vague, post an actual code, please.- Michael Murray

BC coilovers, do I need adjustable sway bar links?
This depends purely on what you have the ride height set to. If you lower a significant amount it would be ideal to get the swaybar back to level. On the other hand, if you just drive on the street I wouldnt even consider adjustable links. If you track you'd want adjustable anyways, for the...- Michael Murray

Daaang full set eh? Living the high life I see! To get my angle finder to stick to the bracket I drilled two holes and cut the drill bit I used and epoxied the pieces in there. Works quite well.- Michael Murray

Wow you have really dug into that project, nice work! I found all it takes to get the left side to work on the right is remove the nuts and flip the hooks. I plan on ******** a piece of steel plate (shown primered) to the bracket and sticking the magnetic digital angle finder to it.- Michael Murray

Excellently thorough reply, thank you! What degree does the OEM inclinometer read to? .1? After I read your reply I went on a search again to find a sub-$300 set of adapters and stumbled across this. It says incomplete, but it seems that is only because the right side is not included? Either...- Michael Murray

I am currently doing research on the rear caster tools. From what I've gathered they were originally made as PN# 8996A and were changed to 8996B. I assume the 8996 in general would work. Have you figured any more out? https://www.moparessentialtools.com/item-detail.aspx?itemid=21560003&type=tools- Michael Murray

E Brake
When I got my 2008 it had basically no pad left on the inside with plenty of low speed noise and brake dust to accompany. I completely removed the entire system including handle and now I have a convenient pouch to place my cellular in, shed about 12lbs in all, mostly unsprung. GT-R's use the...- Michael Murray
