Looking to purchase some front and rear camber kits for my 33 GTS-t.

After some feedback on Whiteline kits (have just spoken to a workshop & got some quotes very reasonable $$$) and anything else people have used or are using on their rides.

I already have suspension wise - coilovers, strut bars & sway bars.

Any other suggestions to shore up my handling would be greatly appreciated!

(Hicas lock kit is already on my list)

Cheers dudes.

castor rods adjust the castor.

i run the whiteline eccentric bushes. front camber, front castor and rear camber - seems fine so far, reasonably comfortable on the street not much NVH. time will tell how they hold up, however the bushes are supposed to last longer than the arms on the roads.

i have taken the car out to do some track work, only a motorkhana at this stage and with the right alignment it's been perfect

I have some whiteline stuff, seems to be ok....but I could only get about 1.9 neg camber up front with the group buy, not enough so I got dave - TO4GTR to make some "adjustments" :P and now have -4 up front

Im actually looking at replacing most of my whiteline stuff anyway...

i'm not sure if that was a little tongue in cheek or what, i was kinda expecting you to google it yourself. however castor is basically the angle of the steering pivot.

an image is easier to explain

agree with evil_weevil on this one, i could only get around 1.5-1.7 camber up front, which is totally fine for a street setting. i tried to go a little more hardcore and couldn't do so.

i will be changing away from the whiteline stuff also next time around. it really depends on how hardcore you want to go.

for a mild street setting with the occasional track work i would personally suggest whiteline stuff.

if you want to go a bit hardcore and don't mind the extra discomfort and regular maintenance go the arms.

replacing mine with....well, pretty much replacing the springs, castor and the camber parts.

To what?

Dont know!

Im still looking into that.

If your car is a daily and with an odd track day in a blue moon, go the whiteline, but for me now, I need to upgrade as I just dont feel the package I have is good full time track use.

    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
