Yes I am fitting the Bilstein + Whiteline package sorted by SK with front 350mm and rear 340mm ride height

So the front camber kit, and the rear camber kit is needed

.

The rear camber kit replaces the inner (ie closest to the diff) radius rod and control rod bushings.

You will need the suspension shop to push out the old rubber bushings.

I read on some threads that the front camber bushes can be knocked out with a hammer and screwdriver...

...ok will give it a go..

And as you may have read from my other posts that what I thought were factory springs that had been cut, were infact a set of lowered RS-R springs (black with "GTR" style lettering).

So upon removal of the rear arms I have discovered this nugget (see pic)

On the left is the whiteline bush, on the right is an offset bolt.

The offset bolt is "keyed" ie the washer only will go one one way.

The shank of the bolt (the part with no thread) is 25mm long...

While the metal inner barrel of the whiteline bush is 40mm long

So can anyone tell me if...

1. The offset bolt is factory? (I think not)

2. If not factory, was the bolt fitted to adjust camber with the lowered RS-R springs? (I think most likely)

3. Should I bother installing the whiteline bush after all? (I think why not)

4. Can I use the offset bolt and the new whiteline bush together? (I have no idea)

Yes there are a few questions... just want to go about this the right way... and learn something new.

Apologies if I have covered something already in the forums (didnt find it) and I hope other suspension GB people can find something useful out of this thread and the pics.

Thank you for your replies.

The rear camber adjusters are standard on R32/33/34, they adjust 0.25 degrees.

D Cheers :stupid:

You use that standard bolt with the Whiteline bushes. The bushes cant exactly be adjusted on the car so it makes the wheel alignment difficult. Set the bushes to about where you think you'd need to to correct the camber you have bearing in mind that the bushes adjust +/-0.75deg. The wheel aligner can then get your cambers even with the standard bolt.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
