im chasing a pair of brand new R33 rear camber arms but cant seem to find any dealers here in WA. brands im after are either Kazama, Cusco, JIC, and Ikeya Formula. JPC sells Kazamas but unfortunately they dont have any in stock and will take a long time for it to arrive. anyone knows any places that sells these named brand suspension components in WA?

as mentioned JPC doesnt have any brand new ones in stock at the moment and both Rhys and I have waited too long only to find that until now they still dont have them in stock, Vision R doesnt have any and Jparts also nil or none of the mentioned brands. surely there should be someone here who knows places in WA that sells Cusco, Kazama, JIC and Ikeya Formula suspension parts.

I got mine from WA Suspenders, no brand name but they look a lot stronger than some of he branded shit out there (read: much larger tube, they are also one side instead of a loop so I can adjust my traction arms without the coilover hitting the arm).

Look stronger but are they ? I have no namers coming out and going Kazama's

If they break I'll be blaming Bard! The quality looks fine and the tube is nearly double the diameter of most of the others I have seen.

I went to see Matty the other day, but he recommended I went to Danny cos the Whiteline ones they sell foul on the coilover, meaning you need traction arms as well for it all the fit properly.

I have different ones, they aren't Whitelines.

just like to add that R32 camber arms front and rear are completely different in design to those on R33 and R34s and maybe even the Stageas. S13s and R32s share the same suspension layout(1989-1993) but R33/R34s together with S14/S15s share the same suspension layout(1993-2000).

If any are chasing brands other than Japanese ones, make sure the material used is made of strong steel like medium carbon steel for example which has better wear resistance and used mainly in forging and automotive components(done some research). normally suspension places should know their products anyway.

keep in mind as well that if your car is to be used for the street, make sure that your chosen suspension arm has dust boots to cover the pillowball bearing from road grime and lots of brands even some Japanese ones like Ikeya Formula have exposed bearings which are ok if your car is dedicated for track use but on the street its a no-no so check before you buy.

anyways, still no one around who knows places that sells Cusco, Ikeya Formula, JIC and Kazamas??

Rear are the same dude....well they were for the 10 years i was doing suspension.

Front of 32, 33 and S13 are all different.

Stagea is a bit of a mix match of parts of gtr and gtt/gts.

tho the R32s and S13s rear upper control arms, even the aftermarket ones have a different design where it wraps both sides in an 'O' shape around the strut and the 33s, even the S14/S15s have a bend which also goes around the strut but only on one side in a slight 'U' shape instead but yeah the rear upper link(traction arms) and lower control arm are the same.

The arms you sold me for the 32 went on the Stagea on Saturday, less camber and some toe adjustments have made a rather nice difference!

And yeah Stageas are a big mix and match of parts, each variant (2WD auto, 2WD manual, 4WD auto) seems to be different.

S13 is different front setup to 32 so NOT same layout and S14 is different front to 33 n 34 so NOT same layout ..

Yeah. Camber arm and toe arms are all interchangeable. Some have minor cosmetic differences...but its only visual

The "O" type, or ring type...what ever you prefer to call it, is more due to manufacturer design than vehicle suitability.

Some prefer to make a ring tpye, others have a single rod arm type.

Both do the same job.

The whiteline arms are a great product, however as they wont make the "O" part wider, it is no good with after market shocks as they hit.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
