    R32 GTS-t wheel alignment

    Please don't hate for this post, so hear me out first!

    I called a few local shops around town (including campus nissan) and either people are not interested in taking the vehicle, or they want me to supply the specs sheet.
    I did a search, and found some information, but most of it is from 2005. That being said all pictures that gave specs are no longer being hosted, and thus being a dead link. Some information was semi useful, but very contradicting. Apparently 240sx specs can be used, but the toe will be slightly off, or I could use any R32 (GTR, GTS-4, GTS-t) specs, or I could use 300ZXTT specs, or GTS-t specs but have everything switched for our LHD roads.
    Logically thinking, the 300ZXTT would be the best bet since its already done for our roads, and its similar in size, but what do you guys think? Can I tell the shop to just use the 300's specs, or should I get actual GTS-t spec sheet, and just have everything switched?

    cheers

    Depends on weather you have adjustable front control arms for changing your front wheel camber to suit our roads.

    I've done alignments on R33's and R32's and the only real thing that can be adjusted is toe. You can however adjust rear camber, but the more negative camber you add the worse your tires are going to wear. Having a spec sheet to go off of makes life a lot easier. I have specs for the R33 GTR, which should be fairly close to the R32. It basically depends on the guy doing the alignment, and remember that there is both front and rear toe. The only real way to get front camber is to either A] buy adjustable control arms, B] slot the holes in the front struts to allow some minor adjustment.
    I adjusted my alignment myself, without a computer alignment machine because my steering wheel wasn't centered. Any decent alignment tech should be able to fix you up and be able to compensate for "road crown"
    Too bad you didn't live here in Edmonton, I'd fix ya up in a jiffy.

    Thanks for the offer, feyd!
    I'm not looking for any sort of tweaking since I am still running OEM coil overs lol. I just have to go for a VI and want to have absolutely all my bases covered prior to heading down to a shop.

    They're spot on.. Adjust camber per you're intended use (track, tire fairy.. etc)
