I went and did a wheel alignment on the R33 (1993) last weekend.

The guys said I need an adjustable camber kit installed on the front.

This kit contains the following

4 bushes

2 shafts

4 bolts

4 washes ==> Costs $181.00

Has anyone put this type of kit in before.

I dont want to wear out the 18's, so thats why I want the kit, not for racing or modifying or anything.

Who would be the best people to talk to and price wise.

Im guessing your car is lowered? So having the adjustability up front will allow the correct amount of camber to be dialled n.

So you should end up with better front tyre wear, as long as they dont go any more extreme then 1.5deg.

Pirce would seemsa about right, i cnt remember what i paid but it never hurts to ring a competitor.

Yeah, it sounds about right. I got the whiteline kit about 4 months ago for $160+freight through their website. They're pretty easy to install if you want to have a go yourself, takes about 20min per side from wheel off to wheel on. As Roy

said -1.5 Deg is good for street use.

The guys at Fulcrum in Brisbane said..."It's a big **** around mate to put them on."

Fulcrum -Marooka (Brisbane)

Parts $142.52

Install $143.00

Wheel Align $88.00 (Front and Back)

Total: $373.52

But if its easier than what u say, well then I might give it a go.

Yeah, I went to Fulcrum Stafford, their labour costs are ridiculous, good quality gear just insane labour costs. It is that easy, I would say 30min tops per side. They are a bastard to adjust though. Still need to get a wheel alignment afterwards though. Jack car up, remove wheel, remove bolt which connects shock to lower wishbone, undo upper/outer wishbone nut/bolt, slide assemble out (if it hasn't corroded in), all falls apart, slide new camber pin/bushes into place with plenty of provided silicon grease, put it back together. Easy!

Yep, installation of this type of thing is pretty easy, it's the setup that hard.

Id put them in, set them roughly and then drive it down to get aligned.

Also, if the car is lowered then you will definately need the rears done aswell, they'll probably need it more than the fronts

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
