What sized grub screws do they use? cheers

Most tyre services have probably never seen adjustable camber bushes on a Skyline and so have no idea what to do. Show them the adjusting bolt and the lock nut. When they undo the lock nut and turn the adjusting bolt, the camber will change (amazing). cheers

cheers

cheers

Do you have the 200SX S14 standard strut tops, front and rear? cheers

What "tune"? cheers

Use the ACA ROX203 (Universal fittment) and swap the plug as per the thread. cheers

Pull the turbo's and exhaust manifolds off before you turn the engine over. Check for cermic dust in the exhaust manifolds and the exhaust ports. If none, then (and only then) do a leak down test. cheers

Hi Chris, there shouldn't be any free play, sounds like you have a worn one. We replace them every race season. cheers

PM sent in response to your PM. cheers

1. Yep 2. Nope, R34GTT has forks for the bottom shock mount, while R33GTST has eyes. 3. Maybe R34GT (non turbo) or R34GTS4 cheers

There are non adjustable polyurethane camber kits available. There is a simple way to check, take a look at the above picture and you can see the bolt on the LHS of the arm is bottomed out (protrudes) and it has a lock nut. The non adjustable bushes don't have the protruding bolt and the lock nut (ie; the LHS of the arm looks the same as the RHS of the arm). It is most unusual though, very few non adjustable kits are sold. I should mention that a tyre service is not the best place to get a wheel alignment, try your local suspension workshop. There is a list of recommeded ones in the various Group Buy suspension threads. cheers

Contact Details Superior Suspension 4 Lincoln St Minto NSW 2566 (02) 9603 0100 I have just finished the engineering for Jamex on the 200SX S14 Bilstein, Eibach, Noltec and Whiteline Suspension kits. These have been extensively road and track tested over the last 4 months in three S15’s. Similar to what I did for R32/33/34’s, they will be offered on a Group Buy from Jamex for 15% to 20% less than the recommended retail prices, plus freight will be free for all orders over $500, plus there will be an additional discount of 5% for orders over $1,000. The Group Buy kit was engineered (by me) to give a sporty, but not harsh ride, for the street and at the same time suite the sort of things that S14 owners use their cars for (road, drag and circuit). It’s a great all round kit judging by the comments back from the people that have tried it. Due to the strut based front end there will be a basic kit with Whiteline coil springs. Plus a full height adjustable coil over kit utilising Eibach (the best) coil springs with Noltec adjustable strut tops as an option. Extensive engineering has been carried out on a full replacement coil over front strut which features a unique Bilstein shock absorber. Plus it allows greater scope for camber adjustment combined with the use of wide wheels and tyres. Front Bilstein inserts and rear shocks Front fabricated strut with the Bilstein insert Rear Bilstein shock with Whiteline spring Picture of Bilstein/Eibach rear coil over spring/shock unit Picture of the Noltec adjustable strut top Rear Camber Kit Front Caster Kit In all cases the Bilstein damper valving has been selected (by me) to suite the spring and stabiliser bar rates used. I have spent some time engineering in an additional 20 mm (23 mm at the wheel) front suspension travel to avoid one of the major limitations of the packaging in an S14. This means I could use a lower spring rate for better handling and ride and, at the same time avoid the bottoming out issues that frequent lowered S14's The Bisltein front struts incorporate an internal bump stop which has been rated and sized to suite the rest of the kit. For better control of dynamic camber and caster, the Bilstein front inserts feature the inverted layout which results in far stronger resistence to the bending forces that struts have to endure. The rear Bilsteins are of course full shock replacements and the Whiteline Bump Stop & Dust Cover kit has suggested trimming heights as follows; There is a full set of suggested alignment settings (including ride heights) for both road and track use, which are designed to optimise the handling and avoid excessive tyre wear. Table of alignment settings Recommended Road Settings Front Caster = 7 degrees positive (slightly more on the LHS to counter the drift to the gutter) Camber = 1.25 to 1.5 degrees negative Toe = Zero Rear Camber = 0.75 to 1.25 degrees negative Toe = In 2 mm each side Recommended Circuit (grip) Settings Front Caster = 8 to 9 degrees positive Camber = 2.5 to 4.0 degrees negative Toe = Zero Rear Camber = 1.25 to 2.0 degrees negative Toe = Zero Recommended Drift Settings Front Caster = 8 to 9 degrees positive Camber = 2.5 to 4.0 degrees negative Toe = Zero to 1 mm toe out each side Rear Camber = 0.75 to 1.0 degrees negative Toe = Out 2 mm each side Recommended Drag Settings Front Caster = 7 degrees positive Camber = 1.25 to 1.5 degrees negative Toe = Zero Rear Camber = 0.25 positive to zero degrees (never negative) Toe = Zero Price Lists The Road Kit is designed for daily sporty driving and is suitable for occasional circuit, drag and drift work. Although an upgrade to adjustable stabiliser bars would be recommended for those willing to tune the handling for their personal preferences. The price lists reflect a saving for SAU Group Buyers of $678 (around 25%) over normal retail prices. The Road & Track Kit is suitable for road driving, to and from the track and other weekend work. Several of the guys during the testing have commented that they could easily live with the Competition Kit as a daily driver. The stabiliser bars are, of course, adjustable, plus the springs and damper rates are not in any way excessive. The recommended alignment settings are a bt extreme for daily driving and would result in excessive tyre wear if large numbers of kilometres are driven. The Road & Track Kit is priced the same for Drag, Circuit (grip) and Drift users. The spring, shock and stabiliser bar rates being the difference. So please specify your usage patterns when ordering. The price lists reflect a saving for SAU Group Buyers of $1,215 (around 25%) over normal retail prices. Availability Springs are usually in stock at Whiteline and Eibach Bilstein takes 1-2 working days to fit the inserts Bushes are usually in stock at Whiteline Stabiliser bars take 4-5 working days to make as Whiteline do not keep stock Delivery is via Toll priority and usually takes 1-2 working days to anywhere in Australia.

Any questions? Send me a PM or post it here. cheers PS; for S13 (CA & SR) owners, their kits are currently being engineered and will be released shortly

As per the price list; KCA347 Rear Camber Kit $127.00 (plus $5 freight) If the rear is lower than 330 mm (centre of wheel to guard) then you will need 2 kits. cheers

Thanks for the wrap Simon. For the S13 with RB25 I would go for the Track Kit, but I will specify some slightly different spring and damper rates. Nothing major, just a little tweak. cheers

So far everyone has gone for the Road & Track kit. As soon as someone chooses a Road Kit I will let you know and you can ask them for their opinion and maybe a test ride. cheers

The small shipment of rear Bilsteins are almost all sold. So please don't delay, get your order in now. Cheers

One of the race cars, a genuine R32 GTR N1, had ABS. The other genuine R32GTR N1 didn't. The 3rd car, not a genuine R32GTR N1, had ABS. Typical "homologation" tricks by Nissan. cheers

We get our PPG dog boxes serviced every 20 hours of racing (ie; races, practise and qualifying). cheers

I keep spare studs for strut tops, they lock up frequently. cheers

Word of warning, some R32GTR N1's had ABS and some didn't. From what I can tell it was a "delete option", if you didn't want ABS you had to order the car without ABS. If you just ordered an R32GTR N1, it came with ABS. So the "race teams" (they didn't want ABS) ordered their cars without it. Joe public most likely didn't know about the delete option, so they got ABS. cheers

The bush part #1484/24 is the correct one and I haven't had anyone else report issue like this. As I said, they are a tight fit, but your level of required mods seems excessive, 1 mm + 2 mm + 5 mm = 8mm too big, that's way over the top. I will have Whiteline check the dimensions of the 1484/24 just to make sure that there is no moulding error. cheers
