I am not sure if the 32 gtst setup is the same as a 32 gtr, but I think it is.

For track use, first thing to consider is whether you need to follow any rules. For example CAMS 3E and 3J only allow adjustable bushes. 3D and AASA allow adjustable upper arms. I'll assume it's not a factor for you, just mentioning in case.

bushes in the standard arms (somee aftermarket also run bushes like notlec/whiteline plus) will let you adjust by about 1o

you can buy shorter fixed arms, or make them by shortening standard arms.

you can buy adjustable arms.

the adjustable arms available are mostly pretty bad and will not last long (bearings flog out and get noisy). they will allow the must adjustment.

adjustable bushes also have problems with flogging out over time, but they are easy to replace. I get about 4-6 races before I have to replace bushes.

also, set the car at the ride hieght you want before worrying about the camber - as you lower the car you will get more camber at the same time. I often have to take camber out, not add it.

when you say the adjustable arms are pretty bad and wont last long. is that just under racing conditions? or generally?

actually, I'd expect the upper arms with cheap bearings to last even worse on the street, than they do on the track. they have bad clearances in the bearings to start, then get a bit dirty, gets worse pretty quickly.

rose joints are really designed for track work with regular inspection and replacement

    • So it should work in my case?  I does not say R34 but it say push(i have push gearbox/clutch right now) No i wont...and i do not drift/race or do anything crazy with car so even a small box should be ok for a couple of months
    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
