the rear camber on my r32 gtr is scrubbing out the inner edge of my tyres, so thought i would get it sorted.

the car has tein coilovers and is fairly low. Are these camber arms the best way to fix it??

the car only gets street use, so i dont want it to stiff, do these do anything to the ride quality?

cheers

hey,

there are 2 ways you can fix this,

depending on the amount of coins you wish to spend.

cheap easy and nasty first would be to take an angle grinder to the little lip on the inside of your car and roll it out with a gaurd flare tool or a hammer.

the preferred option would be to buy rear camber arms (this is what i have done with my 33 gts as i am running gtr offset rims) this will cost you around $600 i suggest ICS performance online. But you will be burning through tyres as a result from only the inside of your tyre will be providing traction in a straight line.

mate,

i think you have misunderstood me, my car is already burning through tyres because of bad negative camber.

that is the problem i am trying to fix.

just want to know if the camber arms are the best way of fixing it.

my tyres dont touch the guards! even with 18x10 rims and 265 tyres there is plenty of room.

Yes, Rear upper camber arms is exactly what you need. You will need to get a wheel alignment afterwards. There is a range of brands to pick from. JJR, ISC, Cusco, KKR... I dont recommend non brand ebay items. I run JJR in my car.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.  
    • 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
