Anyone have any experience with pillow ball upper mounts?

They get sold separately from the other components by the jap suspension companies so i assume they can be mounted to regular suspension and not just coilovers.

Just interested to know what is involved/replaced when using these.

Cheers

Dave

there prety easy to install and make sure you get the ones to suit your particular car. Just makes adjusting camber alot easier and quicker so like if you go to a track day can have extra egative camber within 5 mins. you can mark them so you know where to adjust them to for street use again later.

Not too sure about the R32 suspension but for you 4 doorz they wont make any difference!!

due to the setup of the suspension, getting the adjustable tops for your coil overs will not change the camber angles at all!!

look at your suspension and you'll see that they will only move the springs and have no effect on camber!!! since the coil overs are free to move within the wishbones!!

A pillow ball upper mount is not necessarily adjustable.

I don't want adjustable, if I did I would get an adjustable top link.

I am interested to know whether pillow ball uppers will fit on stock type suspension as they should remove compliance in the suspension and maintain alignment while cornering hard.

I have tien NRs and like the height and ride and dont want the added expense of coilovers right now.

I kow what your saying now, and i should think that they are pretty much interchangeable!

I'm using Tein HR coil overs with Tannabe pillow ball mounts, only thing is that there is a little movement in the springs due to tannabe's having a skinnier spring than the tein!!! works fine though!!!

only thing is actually trying to find the top mounts only, most places will only sell them as a package! tein sells them but at $600 it's pretty expensive option!!

This is why BHDave wants them!!!

and as i posted the suspension etup doesn't allow adjustable upper mounts to work with the R33's at least!!

That's it. Just thinking about stiffening up the whole lot.

Plus if you have a look inside the wheel well you dont have any room to move the top of the strut around either. Not that it would do much anyway because you have dual wishbones in 32-34 skylines

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
