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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
