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.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
