Thanks justin.

I'm not sure if I need 1 kit or 2.

Do you only use one in the inner side if your alignment isn't that bad? (i.e. only need 1 pack)

Cheers.

I'm wondering if you just put it on one of the 2 points where it meets the chassis (in where one of the wishbone bushed was). This would change camber and toe at the same time.. so then you just get it aligned and they adjust tie rod aswell to make sure the toe is right??

Any comments appreciated

Anybody got the fitting instructions? Its not on the web..

evil, your alignment guy was pulling your middle leg.

There is no camber adjustment stock on the front of skylines.

That number is most likely -. If it's plus, there's something seriously wrong with your car.

The front camber kit will allow you to run more neg camber for the track, as well as it will allow you to dial out neg camber from lowering the car for the street for tyre life

if its for an R33 then $300 is a complete rip off. I don't know why it was priced anywhere near that in the group buy (maybe because the R32 kit is apparently that much, maybe they just dragged the same price over for the 33)

I don't think I even paid half of that ridiculous price...i've got the full whiteline/bilstein kit now, and I only got the springs/shocks and bump stops/dust covers from the GB...the rest of it I got from repco way cheaper, and thats without any bartering at all...I just gave them part numbers and the first prices they gave me for each item were cheaper

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
