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:

This is what I have:

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.

    • Bit wet, but YUMMY
    • Keeping in mind that I am currently getting flat 10 L/100km on my RB25DET, which means >>500km/tank. I would test this car for vacuum leaks, check codes and AFM signal with NissDataScan as D says, check plugs, do a compression check while they are out.
    • It is hard to be specific half way across the world...but it *seems* like it might have a minor issue. Is the idle stable and does it rev smoothly? I would not expect any pops out of what I am assuming is a standard ECU, standard tune, standard exhaust. You can use Nissan Data Scan to find out exactly what is happening when it runs, the cable/software is reasonably affordable if you are not planning on changing the ECU (which hopefully you are not with an NA skyline) BTW your mileage may not be that far off, these are heavy old tech cars, and being NA might mean you use a heavy foot to keep up with traffic....
    • Hey guys! Y'all are the masters so figured I'd check in on a few items here. - My engine sounds ever-so-slightly more raspy than the other NA RB25s I've listened to. It's barely noticeable but definitely a slightly different sound. - When I back off the throttle at high RPM, I will sometimes get a pop out of the exhaust, assuming this can be diagnosed as misfire. Some history on the car: - Had an exhaust leak in auction sheet but was claimed to be fixed by seller (bought from USA importer).  - Car's coil packs and sparks were replaced when it was sold to me, but unsure on what the gap is and whether the coil packs are correct.  - A prior mechanic had misdiagnosed a pilot or throwout bearing sound as LSPI/detonation. Had played with timing a bit, pops/raspy sound of engine just got worse. Got timing reset. - Had failed emissions a few times. First time went in as is, failed. Second time, replaced cat, still failed, running rich as hell. Third time replaced o2 sensor, passed. Car still smells gassy though. - Timing belt and valve cover gasket also replaced.  - Gas mileage is... low. about 350-400K per tank.  Any idea if I'm having any serious issues here or does this all sound like normal old NA RB stuff and I'm fine to drive it with the pops/slightly raspy engine? If it'll help, I can get drop a video of the sound of the engine.
    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
