Meh. ALL my Ikeya arms are pillow balls and some have been in there for almost 4 years. They're fine.

People make out like they flog out in 100 km's. As for noise.... Can't hear nothing!

Your car has only seen 2 full days of driving time haha

But 20 years for rubber vs less than 10 for rose joints or less again for cheap shit ones

Shhh, can't tell people :P. They are never on hand and always have to wait and order em in.

I have the castor bush kit with an offset pin for more caster, so i get to keep the light aluminum lower arms.

Whitle front and rear adjustable sway bars, and I just ordered the rear swaybar bearing link kit to go with it.

My 32GTR had whiteline sway bars too, and their camber correction bush kits. 6 years of use and the bushes were fine.

Whats wrong with whiteline? no ones mentioned whiteline except for sean.

I dont think whiteline do actual adj arms , they only have the adj bushes from what I have seen and those bushes are fine if you only want to make very slight adjustments as there is not much in them.

Yuh, Whiteline bush kits are nearly useless for gaining adjustment more than about 0.5 degree (depending on which arm we're talking about). In addition, I replaced my original front caster arms that were fitted with Whiteline polyurethane bushes with some rose jointed adjustables. Even without winding in any more caster the car improved massively just because the squishability of the bushes was gone. Those caster bushes take a lot of force, and they do move a lot.

just an update...

pulled trigger on a set of Cusco arms front and rear. Perfect fit (as expected) no farking around, but some issues though.... can't seem to run less than -3 camber no the front :( - rear is set about -1 which is about right for street for me, but as much as the turn-in is freaking nice with the current setup, i got adjustable arms hoping i could run street'ish camber and cranking some more neg in when needed.

is this normal for cusco arms? are they just that much shorter that you can't actually get 'a little' camber? i was kinda thinking like -1.5. on the fronts....

it's low but not that low, and the suspension place said the same thing. It looks low'ish but in terms of geometry etc it's THAT low... that's why i'm a little confused.... - if anything, i'd probably want to drop it some more

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!

      You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
