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.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!

      Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler?

      Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
