bnr# is trying his best to confuse us. like the good sir ronin has pointed out cusco don't make adjustable front upper arms for 32 GTR, but they may do for 33 GTR. I can't remember off the top of my head (they have a different upright and different upper control arm to 32 GTR). it's beside the point anyway as the original poster is asking about 33 GTR and Rear.

if we are talking rear then you can't go past the cusco ones. top quality, very nice rod ends. good price.

Hi, Can anyone recommend good adjustable upper control arms for the rear of a GTR R33?

Cheers

Bill

As most guys know, I am not a big fan of using sphercial bearings in a road car. They are very harsh, add noticeably to the NVH, don't replace the outer, standard, rubber bushes, wear ouit very fast, knock like a bustard and can't be serviced or replaced, you have to buy a whole new arm. In addition, to avoid creating bump steer, you should adjust the effective length of the traction rod at the same time as you adjust the upper control arm. Hence why the Group Buy includes adjustable Whiteline bushes for both.

For guys who do regular track work and want to adjust the camber frequently, the Group Buy now has the option of Noltec bushes. Which allow on car adjustment of rear camber via a bolt and lock nut, similar to the front camber.

Cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
