Does anyone have photo's of where the castor adjustable bushes go?

or be able to describe to me in good enough detail which arm it is?

l know there is a thread with some photo's but l have looked for days and can not find it again. if someone could forward that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

PS. the forum search engine is pretty crappy :)

find the lower control arm, off that arm there is a bar/rod going forward held on to the arm with 2 bolts. That is the castor rod. the bushes go in the front of that. Big round ones. about 6" in diametre. Its basically the furtherest forward suspension bush on the car in the front.

Hope that helps.

how much would the rod have to bend for the castor to be a 0 degrees?

Impossible, the radius rod would have to be longer to get zero caster.

Hence straighter, therefore bent less, not more.

Usually less caster is caused by the front subframe (where the radius rod bolts to) being bent or displaced.

This happens when the wheel hits something rigid while the car is moving forwards (ie; straight ahead into a guttter will do it).

:mellow: cheers :mellow:

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
