Can you buy whatever bushes or bearings are within the top eye of the front "swan neck" suspension uprights on an R33 GTS-t? Mine have play in them. The pert I need the bushes for is circled in the parts illustration below. Thanks.

Whiteline KCA348. These will also let you adjust your camber.

You may need a press to get the old bushes out - I haven't looked at the fronts but the rear contol arms certainly do.

I have gone with Nismo bushes, but my old press is leaking again and I really need something bigger, so I have bought a 50 tonne unit off Ebay I hope to pick up tomorrow. I will photo the job if you want. I am slightly spoilt in having a lathe and Bridgeport mill that allows me to make mandrels fairly easily, but looking at the bushes I would think a big vice would press them in OK.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
