    R32 Gts-T Front Upper Control Arms - More Camber

    in Suspension, braking and tyres

    Posted

    Hi i know this has been discussed quite alot but i want more negative camber on my R32 gts-t that i use for drifting

    I know i could fit S14 lower arms but i want fine adjustment cos at the moment the cambers are 1.3deg and 1.6deg want ti get them to around 3deg each

    Cant really afford the $500+ good brand arm though

    Everyone says dont get the cheap ebay ones cos the bearings will stuffed in 2 track days

    Then i saw these Hardrace arms http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Hardrace-R32-GTR-Z32-300ZX-Front-Camber-Kit-Spherical-bearing-race-drift-JDM-/370764224146

    The description says something about reinforced rubber bushes but also sonething about spherical bearing hmmm kind of confusing, but what i was thinking is if the ebay arms dont have bearing but rubber bushes instead then they might last a bit better ???

    Then found these ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200899226584?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    These ones say they have high quality urethane bushes so maybe will last ???

    They also have a three year warranty so couldnt be that bad could they ???

    Any other ideas what arms i should get would be appriciated

    Thanks

    R33 Gearbox Extension Housing Bush?

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    Posted

    Hi

    Have noticed my R33 box is leaking at the rear where the tailshaft connects

    I have a year old reciept for the seal being changed

    Then i remembered gearboxes have a bush that the tailshaft sits in, and if they are warn out a new seal will flog out in no time.

    All i can find about this bush is that Nissan dont sell then they only sell a complete rear extension housing

    What has anyone done when they need to replace this bush?

    Thanks

    Rb20 Constantly Fouling #6 Spark Plug ?

    Your leakdown test was what I understand to be in the unacceptable range (15% leak) so yes there is an underlying problem. Who did the leakdown test and did they offer any analysis? My engine runs fine without fouling plugs - my compressions are way below yours but a leakdown test resulted in 5% to 8% range - not flash but I have no discernable problems.

    I did the leakdown test and my analysis in i think my engine i trucked

    I am not suggesting that incorrect heat range for the plugs is your problem - I'm just suggesting you try a hotter plug (or full set if you're so inclined) to see if it will fix your symptoms short of pulling the engine and stripping it down.

    Yeah replaced all spark plugs with 5 heat range as overtightened thermostat housing and broke it so cant drive car till i get a new one :-(

    Thanks for your help

    Rb20 Constantly Fouling #6 Spark Plug ?

    Just put the hotter plug in #6. There's no reaon why it will "prolong the fouling". It will either cure it or it won't.

    The BCPR6ES's i had in there foul pretty quickly, tried a BCPR7ES that i had hanging around and that fouled just driving down the street.As hotter plugs are not as prone to fouling i thought id try some 5 heat range plugs which would not foul as quickly but im sure will eventualy foul. Pretty sure it is not the heat range of the plugs which is causing the fouling

    what condition is the coil pack harness in? changing the plug isn't going to solve the problem , put a multimetre on the plug for the coil pack with the car running and test the voltage getting to the coil pack

    The coil pack harness was replaced with a good cond s/h one, have tested the continuity of the ignitor but yeah ill test voltages running to the coils

    Had another thought, the engine may have blown a headgasket then been chemiwelded, the chemiweld has sealed the water passages up so no oil or exhaust charge is getting into them but oil is getting into cylinder #6 which is causing the fouling.

    But i thought the leakdown test would have shown this???

    your compression results are excellent for an rb20det I've checked a dozen or so and most are not above the 140psi range...

    the first thing I'd do is check the ecu for fault codes and go from there, quite possibly a faulty igniter module or ecu...

    Tried another igniter module and it was still misfiring, although plug was fouled by then

    15% leakdown is not good. How does it compare with the others? Try a hotter plug in that cylinder.

    Didnt test amy other cylinder with leakdown test, came with BCPR6ES gonna get some 5's tomorrow but all that will do is prolong the fouling

    Suggesting missfiring in 6 not burning fuel. Smarts

    Dont think there is a misfire before the plug has fouled, the car idles sweet and revs clean all the way to 7000rpm untill #6 fouls

    Thanks for ideas everyone
