Hey, basically as the title says my rear coilover bottom mounts and locking rings are hitting the standard camber arms and have ground them down, therefore making them defective so they wont pass certification. basically i want to know if aftermarket adjustable rear camber arms have a bigger 'hole' in the middle so they will clear the coilovers. or does anyone else have any other suggestions?

also I'm pretty sure ive been sent GTST front suspension as the bottom lower mounts are fully wound up and they arent very low (335mm centre of wheel to guard) im presuming the GTR struts are shorter therefore will go lower, is this correct?

cheers

Raise it up, it's too low, it should be 350 mm front and 345 mm rear. It will handle much better, ride more comfortably and won't wear out the tyres so fast. And it won't foul the arms.

Changing arms is a defect anyway, so doing that won't fix your legality problem

nah, i like having my car nice and low (and its not low enough at the the moment imo) so just wonder if the gtr front struts are short than gts/gtst. its got gtr rear suspension atm and its nearly wound up as high as it can go and its sitting at about 310mm (centre of wheel to top of guard)

over here in new zealand we can change anything we like (within reason of course) as long as its of good quality and doesnt make the car dangerous and can get it certified (wee plate that gets riveted to the body that says all the modifications are road worthy and dont make the car dangerous) so just wondering if the aftermarket rear camber arms do have the bigger centre 'holes' so they won't foul on teh arms.

cheers

KTS, cusco, tein etc all make camber arms for r32s

anyone have a pic of their r32 at the height of 350 mm front and 345 mm rear as Sydneykid has recommended ??

i have a feeling it may be too high and look 4wd lol

Edited by dori32

yea id say that 350mm/345mm will look pretty close to standard height (unsure on wht the standard height is in mm but guessing its pretty close to that)

would i need gtst or gtr camber arms as its a gts4? or are they all the same? cheers

350/345 will look lover than stock.

oh ok, still no way that im going to have it sitting that high. i like having my cars nice and low. guess its down 2 personal preference

Standard (new car) height is 390/380.

Upper control arms are the same on GTR, GTST and GTS4.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
