Hi,

I've just had my car checked out and I've been told that my top camber and caster bushes are pretty much rooted and just wondering what different brands are available out there and what people have in their cars and their experiences.

My car is a daily driver with the odd track day here and there. and its an R32 GTS-T

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

well if you have a 32 or 33 then theres no such thing as camber/ castor tops....

Do you mean the plate at the top of your coilover has a worn bush?

correct. the angle of the strut makes no difference in double wishbone suspension.

sounds like you're being taken for a ride or there's a little miscommunication.

whiteline bushes will suit your application nicely.

i (and with many other members) use the same bushes.

I went with Nolathane as the full front end kit all adjustable was cheap as. The full kit was basically the price of just the whiteline upper control arm bushes.

The nolathane bushes apparently don't last as long but time will tell. I've done ~6000km's so far, no squeeks but it has only been 6000km's.

Thanks for the replies.

Also, in the picture, what is the part that I have circled in red with an arrow pointing to it? the rod like thing with the rubber things on the end. is that the tie rod end? it is making a very weird clunking noise.

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
