what have you fellow r33/r34 GTST/GTT owners out there installed to adjust or fix camber on the front of your cars?

i've read that the adjustible arms (from just jap) can be a pain to adjust whilst on car. can anyone confirm this?

the superpro kit will require the stock arms to be removed, old bushes removed and new joints pressed in = more time the car is off the road.

pros & cons of each kit and any personal experience with either in regards to installion, adjustment, etc.

cheers

What you're saying is pretty accurate - The design is such that they are hard to adjust on car with the JJR arms and the superpro bushes will require you to press out/in as required.

If you want adjustable camber, you'll need to make a choice: re the above lol.

I've got the JJ ones.

Cost me $55 at JAX in Liverpool each time I do my wheel alignment before track days I get 3.5 front and 2.5 rear, then returned to street setting after.

They need to remove my front wheels and get it up on a hoist to adjust the front, all up takes them about 45 minutes max, nothing about bushes, a couple of big spanners is all that is needed.

I'm wanting adjustable castor arms ? now.

The bushes will be cheaper so if you are only chasing a degree or so adjustment for a street car they would be fine.

Myself, I'd get the arms for maximum adjustability.

ive been wondering this for a little while, was leaning more towards the adjustable arms but my question is whether there is much of a difference or benefit between the rubber bushes on the arms or pillowballs?? any help appreciated :)

Ive had my wheel aligments done about 15 to 20 times there over the last 3-4 yrs, LOL.

Ive had no problems with them, just be sure to tell them what you want it for, a couple of guys there do drifting and some trackdays, the boss owns a Rambler Gremlin drag car.

Go have a chat to them.

thanks for the info guys,

definitely made up my mind and getting the adjustible arms now.

Mark/MLR, do they do good work @ jax??

I put the Superpro ones in man, my mate showed me the tricks to fitting them and the second side i did in the car without any drama.... Hammer to knock the old bush out, a couple of accurate love taps and they fall out and then when fitting the new ones in i just used a monster set of multi grips and squeezed them in, was pretty easy to fit.... As for adjustment, i reckon its going to be harder but it all depends on the competence of the tyre guys you use i guess......

OR i could just leave them adjusted where they are at MAX neg camber :nyaanyaa:

i believe they only provide -/+ 0.05 degrees camber which is sfa lol

might as well pay bit more and get heaps more adjustment in the adjustible arms.

You;re doing something wrong if you're only getting that much adjustment! :laugh:

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
