Hi guys, I just need a little advice on which approach to take with my front suspension. Its an R32 gts-t.

I had a mechanic look at it the otherday and said the front upper arms had a lot of play in it, and it needs to be replaced.

Anyway, what do you guys advise to fix the play in the front end?

Is it worth getting aftermarket, front upper arms? If so, what brand?

Can you put GTR upper arms on a GTS-T?

Thanks for your help guys

R32GTST and R32GTR arms are the same

The arms themselves don't usually wear, it's the ruber bushes in the arms that wear out over time.

My suggestion would be to replace the standard rubber bushes with adjustable polyurethane bushes.

The parts cost would be ~$270 on the Group Buy

:) cheers :D

What SK is proposing is probably the cheapest and best option but there are MANY other options out there if you are so inclined ! I'm using non-adjustable Cusco upper like which have bearings instead of bushes.

There are also links available through nengun....

and so on :)

Or.....:)

Im looking at doing a GB for Noltec bushes for the front and rear of skylines this week coming. I'll have prices etc this week.

It'll be around $155 for a front camber kit (8 bushes + offset crush tubes for a 20% discount, or if i can get 5 buyers around $130 :D

They are a blue colour bush too.

Or i can get a whole replacement upper arm which is also camber adjustable, but more expensive. Its about $570 for the front upper pair, or $450 if i get 5 buyers or more >_<

FAT32 knows i can get some cheap stuff...

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
