Hey,

Looking at getting some camber arms front and rear for my r33 to give added adjustability and help with wheel fitment etc.

Just wondering if there is any real difference besides price between:

Rear: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=20060&cat=396&page=1 or http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=16598&cat=396&page=2

Front: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?productid=17665&cat=396&page=2

and the jap branded equivalents

Rear:http://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-adjustable-rear-upper-arms-nissan-10mm-6mm-9359 or http://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-adjustable-rear-upper-arm-links-nissan-9360 (whats the difference between the two of these?)

Front:http://www.rhdjapan.com/cusco-negative-camber-upper-a-arms-nissan-r33-r34-wgnc34-16650 (why do these look different to the ones posted above from jjr?)

Any insight is appreciated.

Difference is cusco bearings will last longer and arms probably are stronger. That being said I run jjr arms on my drift car and been fine for last 1.5years but thats not a daily so bearings might go quick on a daily.

I have the Cusco front arms. The two piece ones can't be certed in NZ as you can see the one piece ones are going to be stronger.

The two different rear ones are different parts - take your rear wheel off and have a look.

They are not mislabelled. You will notice if you read the complete description that neither is actually called a "camber arm" but both when adjusted will affect the camber.

Ok, and which do you think would be better for a street driven car?

I am not sure how your R33 differs from my Stagea but I would be inclined to get an arm of this type first:

and depending on how much you have lowered the car you may be able to get by just using the eccentric adjuster on the stock toe arms.

How much adjustment do the just jap arms give? It doesnt mention it on the website.

Whiteline rear camber arms on their website look the same as that though, so they could be a go if they give decent adjustment.

The cheaper 2 peice front upper arms look a little dicey I think. Has anyone used them and care to comment on the quality of them?

i would rather go with eccentric bushes for street cars but i don't know how much adjustability they offer but i went with ball joints but not the branded ones because i rather not mount my car on anything with $1000+ ikeya formulas under my car and i know i'll be replacing them in a year or so

well with everyday driving where there are pot holes, bumps, train tracks etc i would stay away from ball joints but it's your choice. i went with ball joints because i rarely drive my car on the streets and for the adjustablility but there's alot more playing around with other components that'll effect allignment as well. so for a street set up i would go with bushes and let the wheel alligner do their job setting it so i can forget it and maybe get it reallignned half yearly or so

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
