Welcome.

If it is still pulling to the left after an alignment, then something may be bent. You don't have to buy adjustable arms, you just have more options when setting the car up. As a factory setup the Silvias were a very well sorted car as far as handling is concerned.

Your bodykit (well as least the front bar) is a factory option called the aero kit.

All in all, nice car. well done.

did you have the alignment done before or after lowering it? If the alignment was after, then they probably haven't done a very good job.

Camber on the roads changes all the time no matter which part of the world you drive in, so I don't see that it being in a different country is an issue.

The alignment was done last week after the car was lowered, driving i away from the place where it was done i noticed it pulling to the left straight away, so i took i right back and the guy really could not be arsed with me and told me to just hold onto the wheel tighter.......................... so thats when my mate said do some research and look into adjustable casters & tie rods, as mentioned above something could be bent?

I would have then asked for my money back. "Just hold on to the wheel tighter." What kind of response is that? In fact, I probably would have ripped him a new one. Sounds like the guy has no idea what he is doing. What an idiot. I would suggest you go to a reputable wheel alignment specialist and get them to check it.
