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.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
