Does anyone know if there is a replacement offset bush kit to correct camber fir the front upper control arms?

I Need to correct the front passenger arm as it now has 2deg neg camber from lowering it compared to the drivers side having 1.2deg neg.

What is involved with putting the M35 into RWD mode?

Can you simply pull a fuse or does a wire need to be cut? Once the new wheels go on, in theory the space saver will be the wrong size for the Atessa system, so I figure I could pull the fuse and shouldn't have any problems.. correct?

Hard job?

The space saver would be trouble with the different wheels, wouldn't it? Think it would be alright to limp it to the next major town (could be 200km?) on a long drive to get the tyre fixed/replaced?

I would just drill it out to 1.5 mm if you plan to keep the stock turbo, 2.5 mm if hou go for a bushed core.

The banjo threads into the block just in front of the passenger front drive shaft.

Just following up on this, does anyone have suggestions for a banjo bolt that is already the right size? I don't have a drill press and it could be a while until I get to one. Seems like a sketchy thing to do without one (I don't even have a vice at the moment!)..

For the guys looking for more suspension adjustment on there M35:

http://infinitihelp.com/diy/gcoupe/projects/infiniti_g35_rear_camber_kit_installation.htm

I came across this vid of installation of rear arms in a G35, the only bit I found a little disturbing was when they decided to slot the rear arm hole in the cradle and use an offset washer... thoughts?

I believe there is an off set bush available but i have never seen anything like this...

Considering the rear arm already uses an eccentric bolt set up; I don't really see the issue.

This method of adjustment is commonplace; many cars use it without issue, and the slotting that they do in this instance is to add MORE adjustment to the existing range available.thumbsup.gif

Does it really, I didn't know that... WOW that came of a little sarcastic.

The outside bolt is not correct? I only ask this as when i dropped the rear arm in mine I took out the bolt that attaches it to the hub on the outside is just a normal bolt, did not touch the inner one. Has the stock inner bold have much adjustment?

Mike, this was the reason for my reply. Naturally, I assumed you hadn't looked at the subframe & seen the factory adjustment is exactly that. No sarcasm.thumbsup.gif

No, the bolt in the hub is not eccentric, and it's actually bushed in the hub too. The back arm is a toe adjustment arm. For anything up to around 2" lowered the OEM eccentric will likely suffice.

Depending on how low you drop the car; the toe can end up being so far out that you cannot use the OEM eccentric bolt to adjust. This is normally at stupid "fitment' and "stance" brah ride heights.rolleyes.gif

For normal people; a more "eccentric" (more adjustment) eccentric will do. This is why they slot the hole in the subfame out a little more.

If that's not enough; you can move to the length adjustable arm; as per the dolts in that video who seem intent on using a power driver to undo every bolt, regardless of whether it saves any time, or is actually any easier.

With length adjustable arms; I have no idea why these guys feel the need to ALSO fit eccentric bolts; if it were me, I'd set the eccentric in the centre of its range, and finetune the arm length on a wheel aligner. Then you can make small + or - adjustments with the eccentric.

But hey; I don't use a power driver on pre loosened bolts either...cheers.gif

Thanks bud, going to drop the stag in for a wheel alignment now... I wasn't going to as I didn't think there would be any adjustment in the back and if they couldn't adjust anything then I didn't want to waste any $$ for no reason.

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.

      There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
