im pretty sure DATSPORT and MADDAT motorsport make something similar for the 1600 crew, very similar to the R30...

Stewart Wilkins in Syd will know too

maybe check it out?

The SWR idea uses a sliding rose joint affair to adjust the rear camber and the cost is about $1000.00 for the mods.

If your competing your car in anything other than rallies, the rose joint puts you in Sports Sedan class.

yea cheers guys, yea datsport wernt interseted when i meantioned r30 :)

swm reckon there isnt a bush good enough u can use to replce standard 1, but they do a few mods to the a arms allowing u to gain camber and toe adjustment which would be handy, but yea very pricy.... supposovely makes a massive differnce to how the drives. im headin up; there when i can to have a look at 1 .

i didnt no they used rose joints but by wat gostriders sayin im geussen it s fairly radical and would nt be very streetable

im keen to find out either way ..

cheers

Last time I spoke to Datsport, they were quoting $3500.00 for the rear adjustable conversion to an R30.

The SWR conversion is only to the trailing arms, not the cross member as well, like Datsport wanted to do.

It's big dollars no matter which way you choose, just to gain a lousy degree or so less camber.

I use eccentric bushes in the rear of my DR30 rally car. They are made by K-MAC - part number 540526. About $350 last time I checked. They are the same part number as the bushes for 1600s and 180Bs. Fit perfectly. They come as a set of 4 bushes, but I would recommend only using 2 of them - one in each arm. Otherwise, you will have a bugger of a time with wheel alignments.

If your car has been lowered, then yes, every little bit of camber adjustment helps, but the real benefits are in adjusting the rear toe issue.

Edit: $320. Linky here: http://www.k-mac.com.au/Kmac_catalog.pdf

Oh yeah, be prepared for some grief though. The original bushes are a pain in the bum to remove. It's easiest to burn them out with an oxy. But you have to get the metal outer sleeve out as well. This requires either, a) patience with a hacksaw blade (you don't want to score the bush housing), or b) use of a press.

Worth the effort though.

yea so checked out the sw mod, the sw mod only changes the inner bush and leaves the outer standard, so makes sense wat matty t did.. i didnt have much luk with datsport so maybe it was me. still $3500 will get a gtr rear cradle in there, so either way way to much, i can imagine doing both, moving the mounting brakets and making the arms adjustble be a goood thing, sept stui reckons the box section mod on the inner a arm is all you need. the set up looks very simple with no rose joints, he said its very streetable and copletly legal still its $1100, then wear do u stop, do bearings while its out o and redo the shafts f me ill just keep buying my lotto tickets, ne day now...

hey matty t can you get much adjustment from the eccentric bushs ? i guess yes cos you said its worth the f around may go that way first as a lot cheapr,

cheers

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!

      Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !

      Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
