Hey guys,

Firstly this is my first time doing any suspension work, so as such I am n00b.

I picked up a set of Noltec adj upper camber arms for my r32. The question I have is:

The 4 allen bolts on top of the arm, should they face down, or towards the top of the car?

They have no markings on them and I am having trouble finding the side that is normally marked "A" on your stockers, and also which side is left/right.

Cheers.

I am using this pic I found, I guessed that the sticker on each arm indicates the "A" normally found on your stockers which go to axle side away from body:

So have I got it right? I just doesn't seem right because you would want the allen bolts facing down for easy adjustment meaning I have it installed wrong.

yeh i tried to get my hands on some in 2006 i think for my old r32 and they'd stopped making them then, they might have started again, i dont recal that bolt in the side being there when i tried to get them before.

I think the reason they stopped making them was that they had some issues with them comming a bit loose and the camber changing, dont quote me on that though

The allen key bolts face up, you may want to change the inside allen key bolts that are closest to the spring to normal bolts so you can put a spanner on them when its in the car because if you leave them as allen bolts you will never undo the inside one as the spring gets in the way

I was going to run these in our R32 and then found out that to run in the improved production class of circuit racing you cannot have adjustable arms so I have a brand new set of these that are still in the shrink wrap for sale.

The top arms sold for over $600 when they were available but as they are just gathering dust in the garage.

I am willing to let these go for $400 and I can provide pictures if required.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
