The Whiteline bushes probably represent best value if you require these adjustable bits. They are adjustable bushes. I have the whiteline adjustable camber bush at the front and works quite well and was easy to fit. Just a bit of a bastard to adjust during the alignment process. I put Cusco Adj caster rods at the front and the Cusco Adj camber upper arms for the rear as these offered greater adjustment range. Besides this, they look cool! The prices for the Whiteline stuff can be found on their page. Cusco or JIC bits are best priced from Takas, I think Greenline and Nengun could do these aswell. Cusco and JIC are quite $$$ though, but very high quality.

hi rick,

i've got a set of cusco adjustable rear upper arms for sale if you're interested. although mine came out of an S14, it also fits an r33 gtr (same product code) you can confirm it on cusco web site:

pm me if you're interested!

How much more adjustment? Last I checked they didn't offer more than Whitelines poly adjustable bushes. Thats 1.5 deg for the castor bushes and +/- 1.5 deg for rear camber (with two kits). I agree on the point about looks for the Cusco stuff though :D. They might be lighter than the stock forged arms too.

To be honest I can't remember. I would have to sift through the boxes looking for numbers in a maize a Japanese symbols. I do remember when researching the topic before lashing out that they had more adjustment, which is why I got the cusco rear camber adj, and cusco front caster adj. However I went the whiteline bush-type camber adjustment for the front as all the camber arms like cusco and jic only allowed stepped adjustment which didn't allow fine tuning to even out the left and right sides, although the combination of the two could be good, Bulk adjustment with the arms, fine adjustment with the bush.

One other advantage with the cusco gear is ease of adjustment, any adjustment takes 5 min, the whiteline camber bush at the front is a real prick to get at, and fine tuning an adjustment can take ages. That being said the caster bush and lower rear camber bush would be really easy to access so its probably an unfair comparison.

Weight is negligible, but is slightly lighter, and you also get to remove some bushes all together with the cusco stuff.

interesting comments here guys. would be interested to know how much camber you were running on the front? i will be aiming for 2degrees i think :D

are all front camber kits difficult to adjust? or just the whiteline one in particular?

damn it, adjustable strut tops would make life SOOOOOO much easier!

Front camber was set with the poly bushes to -1deg40' LHS and -1deg43' RHS. This is working for me so far. Before the adjustable bushes went in, front camber was only -1deg, which wasn't quite enough.

The place that does my alignment deals with a lot of suspension work. They don't have any problems adjusting my front camber bushes when I come in. Front castor bushes are a bit diferent, they really have to installed by the people doing the alignment because there's no adjustment for them once they are bolted into place. Theres no need to adjust castor once its set so its not that big a deal. Mine weren't set to max castor at first but it only took the alignment guys 30min to fix.

damn it, adjustable strut tops would make life SOOOOOO much easier!

But that means using a Macpherson strut design, eww. I'll take our double wishbone front any day :cool:.

I got in contact with tyre select in Brisbane and they do stuff like whiteline and guarantee me the adjustment I'm after (No Sledgehammer allowed).

I'll let you know how I go.

At the moment my castors 1 degree out between sides and casto about 2.5 so it pulls like a bitch to the left.

Everything is straight so there is no damage or anything but come next wednesday hopefully I'll have nice -1.5 camber and nice even castor.....look out round a bouts.

I am currently running -1.5 deg camber on the front which is great for road use, even tyre wear and stuff. Went to Queensland Raceway on the weekend and really gave the sidewalls a workout. Next time I go out will try -2 maybe -2.5 with some semi-slicks and see what kind of corner speed I can hold. The A539s were melting nicely!

I have only had experience with the whiteline front camber kit so can't give you a comparison there.

Jason,

Have you found the increased camber is providing better cornering. I know my car is set up with standard camber at the moment and have been toying with a camber kit to get out to about -2.

Even with the settings you currently have, have you found it better (cornering) than the standard set-up??

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
