  1. Series 1 - 350mm wheel centre to guard Super Poly Pro , Remove some neg camber , I believe that it increases toe in, as it pushes the top of the tyre out Offset bushes will only remove so much The bushes can be removed with a two-leg puller without removing the hub richard
  2. "Believe half of what you see, and nothing of what you hear!" as the KTA128's look like they should do the business I haven't had my car in for an alignment (crazy festive season) since fitting the offset bushes, but I can say that visually, the rear tires appear to be nice and square As always, I will share my experience when alignment is performed richard
  3. I attempted to fit skyline adjustable rear upper arms (o-ring surrounds the shock) and they made contact with the shock. I was advised to use "late model" skyline adjustable arms (c-shape design passes in front of the shock) to gain clearance Running bilstein shocks This has been discussed in the suspension thread Best of luck richard

    Camber Arms

    I tried to fit the kta 118 arms to my stagea and found that they made contact with the shocks The last page of the Stagea Suspension thread discusses other options richard

    Air Con Filter

    Thanks for the tip, another job for the list............and how was your filter looking after breathing that fine Queensland air since you cleaned it last? richard
  6. $125 for four bushes - both sides........was told wont quite get 1 degree The K-mac arms where similar in design to yours, but the Whiteline arms actually surround the shock and the contact point is on the rearward side richard
  7. Ok, I went to pick up the new arms today and they turned out to be the K-mac variety They look to be well constructed, however I did not go through with the puchase as they have pillow-ball style bushes I was informed that there are no poly-bush style arms available, that have the clearance required for the stagea So I departed with a couple of sets of offset bushes (Super Poly Pro $125), and my fingers crossed that they will remove the required amount of neg camber (~1deg) richard
  8. Be happy to help out depending on time and location
  9. When I contacted the suspension shop that I purchased the arms off and told them that they didn't fit, Peter (suspension Guru) suggested that I required ones to suit the later model skylines and that he would order some in. I haven't seen any others listed in the whiteline catalogue so perhaps he uses another brand. I will advise when they arrive. Rear shocks are bilsteins richard
  10. I have just tried to fit the above arms and they hit on the shock(_!_)what an bummer!..............will advise of the part # when the correct ones arrive richard
  11. Thanks Dave I have been told that .75deg, is a pretty "optimistic" change so the arms are looking like the best option at this stage It might be worth dropping your rear shock off at the bottom (with vehicle raised of course) and observing the travel of the wheel through its range of movement. Hopefully your clearance issues turn out to be an illusion I would second the suggestion to use the bilstein shocks with standard springs (if they clear your wheels) as I have the whiteline springs on the highest circlip groove of the bilsteins and that is what gave me 350mm. In a perfect world I would have chosen a slightly higher setting...........still happy though! richard
  12. Gday knowledgable folk I wish to remove 1 degree of negative camber from the rear of my S1 Stagea (currently have 2 deg neg at 350mm wheel centre - guard height) My choices are; 2 x KCA 347 bushes (not sure if they will get me a full degree) or 1 x KTA 118 adjustable arms ( http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/instructs/Z310_KTA118.pdf ) Arms ~$300 Any ideas? richard
  13. Any chance that you can place the air guide on my pile of bits? A drive to Bunbury will be cheaper than the freight at this rate richard
  14. Gday Neil I am interested in the drivers side wind deflector and the front castor rods if they are up for grabs Nothing heard from my pm's that I sent Thanks richard
