Cusco used to do a fixed length upper front suspension arm for the Gt-R (Amongst others) Are they still available as I am after some, preferably in a -10mm length or less at a pinch. For a 32 model.

I looked but there does not appear to be anyone listing them presently.

And yes I have seen the adjustable ones. Also the Whiteline gear.

man you are lucky. I came home to find a bit of parquetry floor lifting from all the moisture we've had. so I grabbed a set of turbos to weigh it down. that wasn't enough so I grabbed a pile of goods masters (I have a lot) and right on top was the 2007 cusco one!

Cusco BNR32 GTR front upper control arm. fixed length, -10mm = 231 479 AD

AC is -5mm

AB is standard

AA is + 5mm

now post me those bonnet liner clips!

you're kidding richard, bonnet liner clips? we removed 2 liners last week - how many do you need.

+1 for bryy's question - why not adjustables?

1 would be sufficient, 2 would be gravy. I'll even promise not to tax your beers next time we are at dinner (providing of course fatz doesn't tax mine)...

and to answer the other questions my guess is he's run out of adjustment with whatever arms he's using now. I know my midori type ones touched in the middle with only about 2.5neg (could mod them for more). the noltec ones I have now are good, but again, they are as short as they go and give me 3 neg. again, could probably mod them for more if need be. but I guess if you are happy with a certain set-up then fixed is the go.

anyway, you are a gingerbeer, just cut and weld the ones you have now you lazy bastard.

right - but a better way to manage front camber is longer lower control arms, not shorter upper control arms, less reduction of track that way. Not normally a problem but if standard style ones are too long....

Hmm, this went ape shit in my absence.

1. Baron I sent you a packet of clips (or was that chips?) before Christmas, but didn't re-check the address before I posted it. If Druncan can't find any I will have another go (after checking the address).

2. Rain? What the fk is rain?

3. I don't like the adjustable arms because I worry that in a moment of kerb hopping excess the rather insipid clamping bolts (that dictate the length) will give up their unequal struggle.

4. Yes I have run out of adjustment on my Whiteline ones. The outer adjuster is wound all the way in & I even had made an offset pin for the inner arm.

5. Duncan, what do you recommend for the longer, lower arm?

6. 32 & 33 arms are fundamentally different.

very succintly put.

there are a few people making front LCAs for R32s. ikeya springs to mind, but to be honest their arms don't impress me nearly as much as cusco ones. if cusco make a front LCA for R32 then buy that for sure. looks like I'll have to unweight the floor again briefly tonight. nagisa auto make them too.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

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

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
