I think he may have meant adjustable camber tops? Which wishbone suspension does not use... more of a McPherson thing.

brain fart FTW... i have a car with pretty much the same front end as his, with adjustable bushes :)

adjustable arms supposedly increase NVH(Noise Vibration Harshness), so adjustable whiteline bushes work well in that aspect, and i am happy with the adjustment i got from mine.

i like my cars with as much positive castor as i can run... and not much neg camber either end.

lol, firstly, adjustable arms DO NOT increase NVH, not the adjustability at least, it's only when the arms use rose joints on the ends, as u basically removing a flexible bush, its now metal on metal. the adjustability comes usually from a turnbuckle where a solid arm would usually be. you can buy adjustable arms with with urethane bushes, so they are exactly the same as adjustable bushes as far as NVH goes.

whiteline themselves make adjustable arms, after starting with adjustable bushes (f**king useless) i know exactly how much better adjustable arms are. also as a side note, whiteline bushes are shit lol. i run their arms, but the bushes are shit, mine cracked and split with less than a few weeks on them lol

2ndly, less castor, why? i can only think of 1 reason, u have bitch arms and cant handle the weight of ur steering :D

mmm, my bushes are fine, might try these arms you speak of when they wear out...

i said lots of castor, not less... my old non-power steering dattos wheels used to hit the front guards at times :P

I just put some HKS Hipermax III on my 33.

The seem pretty good; smooth but solid.

Night and day difference compared to the stock springs and dampers.

I guess they are 'medium-expensive' in the scheme of things?

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
