I'm not trying to be a smart arse by this comment but I am confused! I gather you are all talking about setups after coil overs/lowering.

A/ Are your trying to sort out the best tyre wear setup?

B/ Are you trying to work out the best handling setup?

If you are trying to work out the best handling setup your wasting your time unless you get your caster done followed by corner weighting, ride height and then the wheel alignment. Then go to a track and set up your shocks and sway bars to your driving style.....you also need to look at your bump steer...then back to the wheel alignment giving them feedback on how your car was acting!...just a short summary of what you need to do imo!

All of this will be irrelevant in 10,000km as your chassis will have changed anyway because more than likely you have no bracing.

P.S. This is why I hate fully adjustable coil overs for street unless your after stance that is!

Just trying to add input......I know these wagons handle.....but its to what extreme you want them I guess!

Probably a one shot deal but I could do another if enough people want them. Since I'm sorted with a set I would probably charge an extra few bucks per 2 sets to cover my time organizing it. It would roughly be about $60 delivered to Adelaide for 2 sets in a GB.

Sorry one other question:

Are the bolts you replace the ones that are offset?

Obviously the added adjustment in the SPC kit comes from the fact you are elongating the bolt but are the replacement bolts, if any, also offset?

:)

For me it's getting a correct alignment for tyre wear on the street. I myself don't see these cars as a track car being so heavy and auto, so I wouldn't go that way, others might like to track them though.

I just found that running my ride height at 350mm F & R I had basically maxed out the rear adjustment and was still running 2deg neg camber. These SPC bolts gave the extra I needed with a bit left over.

That arm won't fit the M35, it will only fit the V35. M35 has the mount in the arm for the shocker to bolt to it where as the V35 shocker does not bolt to that arm.

The cradle in your pic is an M35 cradle as you can see the bolt still in the factory arm where the shocker bolts to it. Notice that a/market arm has no place for the shocker mount bolt.

This is the factory M35 rear camber arm modified in Japan by a company called Nagisa Auto and cost 85,000 yen in Japan, so well over $1000AUD via Streeter or Import Monster.

Hey Craig, nice summary of suspension setup. For me the lowering was 90% for looks (that's one reason I went softer springs on the BC's) & so these bolts & other bits we're all discussing are to help with tyre wear, for me anyway. The handling on my car is more than adequate for street driving with what's been done to date.

I'll talk to the bloke in the morning, since he told me he had a set on his NM35. If it ends up they don't fit, I'll be ordering a set of the SPC bolts if anyone else missed the first order?

This is the M35 castor rod. http://www.japaneseimportspares.com.au/itemdetails/28594

You would use the bush that Craig linked that is offset to gain more castor.

So the bush that Craig linked needs to be pressed onto the rod?

The old bush would need to be pressed out. I'm not sure if the new bush can be pushed in by hand, I could easily do this with the super pro front upper arm bushes, pressed out with a press and pushed back in by hand. Otherwise you would need to press them in.

If you have time just remove the castor rods yourself then drop them off to get the bushes removed/installed and then refit the arms yourself. It should cost less than $100 to get the bushes done.

Ok there's a few guys keen so I'm going to place an order. Except when Paul ordered them they were $21, now the web site is saying $48.82?

Anyway, if you're keen, let me know and let me know how many sets you want.

So far I think we've got:

impul535w x 2

Ironpaw x 2

If there's anyone else let me know, probably order late next week depending on the exchange rate.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
