I'm pretty sure he ordered the hard race ones.

You are correct, in the middle of doing it now, replacing rear struts at the same time, will take before and after pics of the canber as well, although i will just be guessing how much to wind them out by, looks like probably 20mm longer than the standards would do it but i will do 10mm coz i will be getting it done properly thiss week when i get new rear tyres.

did you get the bush ones or pillow ball?

i think you wind them out to be same length as standard arms then when you go for alignment they adjust to what specs you want it

read this on whiteline site for one of their camber arms so i guess will be same :)

but pics would be great :)))

its ok to adjust them a bit longer than your standard. i did, and got them almost perfect. it was about 15mm i think. it looked like it needed about that much anyway.

it will all get sorted when you get it aligned properly.

here is a pic of the arms with the standard, the shorter one was how long i guessed it should be, i did wind it in a bit tho as it was too hard to get on the arm.

here is the arm installed, almost matches the cusco coil overs!

after install.

and what it does to the tyres.

Next step is to get them adjusted properly when the new tyres go on and then a tune for the 3540 i just put on :D

Do they looks as good in quality as they do in the picture? And do the bearings look decent in quality? Just curious as i was looking at these

The bearings seem ok, bit hard to see them as there covered by rubber, all else looks as good as they do in the pics.

A word of advice, when taking off the bolt off the body i suggest you get the car in the air and the wheel off hit it with some wd40 and go have lunch, come back every 5 minutes and hit it again, i hit the first one 5 minutes prior to trying to undo it, i almost pulled the car off the jack stands trying to undo it, after that every time i had to get up to do something i hit the other side with some wd40, once i went to do it was still hard but no where near as bad as the first side.

Got my hard race camber arms and jjr hicas lock bar, will take some pics on the weekend when installing.

i must say the hard race camber arms looks awesome compared to the jjr, not that the jjr look bad but the hard race look really well made, cant wait to install them.

got JJR rear camber arms- work perfect for a year or so now

JJR front toe arms with pillowball arent that great for everyday use. pillowballs are rooted already after around 7 months. would be good for drift or circuit car where they dont see speed humps and potholes.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
