Hey all just installed JJR adjustable camber arms front and rear and i am getting alot of noise from the front arms.

Now is it normal for this until they are 'worn in' or is there a big problem??

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Cheers

That sounds about right. The bushes in the JJR arms are solid as f**k compared to stock and all the little humps and bumps the stock bushes would normally absorb sounds like knocking in the suspension with the more solid JJR arms. What other suspension mods have you done to the rear?

I bought some used Noltec adjustable front upper arms, and exactly the same thing happened to me.

So I thought, this can't be right and went out and bought some nice new japanese Silkroad adjustable upper arms. It minimised the occurance of the noise probably by about 50% but still makes the knocking sound over large bumps.

How low is your car?

I had the car raised with the adjustable arms in and had no issues with any knocking noises what-so-ever. When lowered the arm doesn't 'seem' to be hitting the wheel well but it sure looks close.

The rears arnt making any noise just the fronts, but suspension mods on the car are:

Cusco Zero2 coilovers

Nismo sway bars

and now the JJR camber arms front and rear

Car isnt that low, well above legal height

There is no sign of the arms hitting the wheel well

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
