on my EK ute project I have a HR front end hr drum stubs commodore discs with V6 conversation adapters for the calipers

If you have positive camber top of wheel leaning outwards then you need to add shims.
If you have negative camber top of wheel leaning inwards you need to take shims out.

If you have negative camber top of wheels leaning inwards with no shims then something is wrong or bent.

No, Greg's identified the problem. I was thinking you might have Torana steering knuckles, but you've said you have HR.
You need to add shims. From memory about 6-8 mm worth will get you zero camber. First put equal thicknesses of shims in at the front and rear stack until you have zero camber, then take shims away from the front stack to increase the caster angle once the camber has been set to zero.

(I've found that setting the camber to zero, and then setting the caster to eliminate bump-steer, produces acceptable results.)
