Mate its hard to know what your on about need more info on what you want.

Or are you asking about the camber arm mod that other people talk about

where they want to change the top front camber arm to a later model arm

from a R33 set up? If so the top plate in the strut tower just unbolts and then

you can weld it up to suit your new arm set up.Or better again buy the noltec

arms that sydneykid is selling they seem to be the best on the market 20min

job then a wheel alignment

basically my tyre is getting too much wear on the inside. i went to an alignment stand and was told that i would have to jack the strut mount which i am trying to avoide. if i get the aftermarket camber plates were i could adjust the negative and positive camber it would be good but i am also trying to avoide cutting the strut mount so my question is what are my options

Mate just get the Noltec adj camber arms from the sydneykid group buy that should fix

your problem they have some good adj range.Im still confussed as to what you mean

as to jack the strut mount plate if you just get adj top camber arms you should be fine

they just bolt straight in that easy then a another wheel alignment.No cutting needed!

basically where i am if you go to the wheel alignment stand and your camber is way out they will advice you to jack the strut mount so that whe you replace the strut it will be perfect. i would not cut or jack my car thats why i asked the different options.

Oh dear.

There are a few things wrong with that. The first problem is that an R32/33/34 Skylines do not have a McPherson strut suspension. So you can jack the strut mount (by which I assume you mean the shock tower) all you like & it won't make a difference. See the attachment for the layout.

The most common technique is to change the effective length of the upper transverse link either by using offset bushes (eg Whiteline) or replacing the link with a shorter & sometimes adjustable unit (eg Cusco, Noltec etc).

Now all of you, play nice. >_<

well thanx for the info. i have seen a car jacked to get 0 degree camber they have machines to do this. when a car gets hit they jack the body and under the wheel well to get the degree in which they want anyways i wont argue this.

which is the better way to go using the noltec? so there are no other ways to do this caz i would have to order these parts and i have already changed my tyres thanx a lot

    • 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.  
    • 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.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
