Strut angle Question

[LeonV]

Are you sure about that? He is not changing the pivot points. KPI is measured in relation to the vertical.

Yes, KPI is measured in relation to tire centerline.

JM gives good advice. I'm assuming you're trying to use Z struts because of the relative difficulty of getting Skyline parts? Sounds like a 510 or S130 strut may work better, inferring from Jon's post. The PGC10 Skyline has a Macpherson front/semi-trailing rear suspension, more similar in architecture to the 510 and ZX.

Nope. Has nothing to do with the wheel or tire centerline.

Included angle might be what you are thinking of. That has something to do with camber angle. KPI does not. His included angle will certainly be different.

Seems as though you are right about that. However, if camber is to be brought back to spec (camber plates), the KPI will certainly be higher.

With that said, the camber angle is the bigger issue here.

Absolutely.
