how r ya guys,

now i was just going to replace all bushes in my car, but i have since gotten a taste for going fast around twisties like a hill climb and track.

i know i need to change the front upper control arm to adjust the camber at the front, but what about the rear, is it both lower and upper arms needing replacing?

i dont was harsh camber that is goin to scrub out the tyres on the inside badly anymore!

also what is a good ride height and angle of camber to set the car up 2 for this kinda driving??

can anyone recommend some products(ie cusco control arms)

cheers

James

The front and rear have completely different issues.

On the front you chuck as much -ve camber on it as you can find/stomach.

On the rear, when you lower the car you end up with too much -ve camber. The kits Gary sells (& others) move the pivot points of the upper rear link outwards which fixes the excessive -ve camber.

Good ride heights are 355 front, 345 rear.

The Whiteline/Red ranger/Noltec gear is all good. Don't buy adjustable upper arms if you can help it.

You can find all this and more in the suspension section.

^5 There are lots threads on this subject.

^ Why not buy adjustable upper arms....search for "camber arms" in this sub forum. I'm not being a smart arse; there is so much info on this subject that you really need to read alot of threads to hear the arguments and assimilate the info. By the way the upper arm issue is different for 32's versus 33 and 34's...GL

ok so leave the front as it is,

im still not getting it to do with the rear, what do i need to change to make the rear camber as close to "0" as possible, specially after the car has been lowered.

cheers

a guy who use to work at where i get me car worked on(notice i say "use to")

he said the reason not to use was apparently they have more of a chance of slipping and throwing the setup out of whack. now im just quoting what he told me

whats the problem with using/replacing the arms??

Like us, Duncan uses eccentric crush tubes/bushes in his race cars (and road cars) and hasn't ever had a problem. They require rotation to adjust, so how anyone could say they slip is beyond me.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
