Hey ya'll - so i didn't realise you needed to undo the bolts to get cam gears off while you still have the timing belt on....i know i'm an idiot. SO i put in one of the little bolts that hold the spring in the inlet cam gear thinking (completely stupidly) it would provide enough torque for me to undo the big bolt at the centre of the inlet cam gear (yeah we're talking about me being dumb enough to try to use a 7mm bolt to provide enough opposing force to undo a 3/4" bolt...anyone that sees me in the street, just slap me)

So as expected the 7mm bolt snapped off in less than a second and i'm left with a tiny 4mm diameter thread to extract. Anyway, after several attempts to use an ease out to extract this thing, it is well and truely f*cked. So if anyone has one of these lying around, don't let it go to waste. Sell it to me!!

I'm on the GOld Coast but will pay for postage of course. If you can get it to me by the end of the week I'll pay for express postage too.

Cheers

Dane

just so people know what sort of cam gear i'm talking. its the stocl inlet cam gear from an R33 Gtst with the VCT intact. Like the one above (mine's painted black and doesn't have any of the bolts in at the moment.)

Generally, with the timing pulleys, because of the variable timing on the inlet one, you only change out the exhaust one. The aftermarket cams fit the std pulleys.

really? damn - i thought that when you change to aftermarket cams you can go to adjustable cam gears on both and figured that's what most people with aftermarket cams would do.....

p.s. i tried the nissan wreckers in qld - can't remember the name, but they're "nissan-specific" wreckers. well anyway absolute wanker!! i would not recommend them to anyone!

bump because I'm a little worried the one on the way is for an R32 which appears to be a different part number which worries me.

Anyone got one for an R33 just in case? hell i'll buy it in addition to the one coming just for piece of mind

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
