    Ok, need to know what i need to get to get more adjustment in the rear "camber" (using it losely, not 100% sure is the right one)

    i need to fix the rear wheels to stop them going

    /---\ Rear

    Is it the upper camber arms, or the rear traction rods?

    Which direction are we looking from in that "piccy"

    If it's from the back you need upper arms, or camber arms.

    If it's from above then you need adjustable toe arms.

    just replace them all with nice adjustable numbers...

    that way you can have the car perfectly aligned and you will get a better feel from the car.

    have you got a print out from your last wheel alignment? depending on how bad it is you may still be able to correct it using the standard adjustment bolts.

    is that 6mm total toe? hopefully 6mm is not just for one wheel, otherwise you have some major issues (something is bent). What did the wheel alignment place say? Why couldn't they correct the toe? I wouldn't go buying replacement arms until you figure out why they can't correct it, you may still be able to correct it with the factory toe adjustment bolts.
    Mine also had about 6mm total toe (3mm toe in on each side) which the tyre shop said they couldn't fix due to the bolts being seized. I bought some replacement bolts and nuts from nissan and took it to a proper suspension place and got them to set it up. Managed to get it to around 1mm toe in on each side.

    Its an issue that has been ongoing, the guy i bought it from had "lowered" it and not corrected it, i raised it with some secondhand coilovers from chrispy. :D:D

    and now just wanting it to be right. there are seized bolts in there, they are on order as well, but it is still a fair bit lower than stock, and in the rear, they are on full in and still about 3mm each side.
