i heard the spc rear bolts tends to have play thus causing alignment to go out of spec after a while, so until the prob is fixed i think it'd be better to consider other options such as SPL. Perhaps someone else might be able to organise another GB with SPL or something else as im pretty flat out recently. sorry to keep u guys hanging but i wouldn't want this to go ahead anyhow knowing there's a problem with the product.

mods please /thread. ta

Not sure where you heard that info about the bolts, anyways I've just ordered these arms off Amazon for less than $210 delivered.

Looking at Cusco front arms next. Bit pricier than the SPC ones but look like a better option.

Anyone running Cusco's ?

did this end up going anywhere?

I can see just by looking down the side of my car that the fronts have way too much neg camber, and probably explained why my last set of tyres were trashed on the inner shoulder. I am looking at front camber arms (already have SPL rears) - is this group buy a go?

Has anyone done any more researche into the SPL knocking issues on the fronts? Last thing I want is to ruin the ride.

It sounds like you already have, raise it up a little...

Don't think so - I'm on Tein h-tecs which are only a 15mm front/8mm drop over factory - they are the most subtle drop you can get.

When I say ride, I am referring to clunks and thumps that loose ball joints and wandering bushes will cause. Read some shocking reviews on Ichiba arms detailing this.

Obviously I'll be doing a wheel alignment when the new rims arrive - but a set of camber arms is cheaper than replacing as set 245/30/20's every 5000kms - so I'm doing my research.

But thanks for your concern!

thanks sean, have you got a set?

yeh - this car won't be getting track work. It was purely about saving tyres and getting as close to factory specs as possible.

more or less just wanted something with solid quality - adjustment that wouldn't back out over time - and quality bushes and ball joints (nothing sh1ts me more than clunking and knocking suspension parts.) I couldnt find a bad review on these.

With the BC coilovers on their way, whiteline swaybars front and rear, SPC rear camber arms and toe bolts - the A-arms are the final piece of the puzzle.

Plan is to sit the car bang on 100mm of clearance to keep it legal and then dial all the arms in to factory spec with instructions to make the tyres last as long as possible whilst still clearing the gaurds. Now to find someone who can dial it all in!

Nah mate i've got SPC camber arms, i went for the cheaper option as i found in my research the SPL arms were mainly used for track use but are overall a better build.

Me too! I have just recently got my right front comp rod bush changed and i've still got a slight clunk after i lowered my car and i can't work out what it could be. Either control arm bushes or ball joint. I know my shocks are farrrked though.

Nice, that's a really good setup whiteline sway bars are very common and can't go wrong with BC coils.

Good luck man, i'm sure there's plenty of people down that way who know suspension.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.

      Run some injector cleaner through it I had a similar issue that plagued me for months, even tried replacing the cat. If one or more injectors are blocked up the ecu sees ping so pulls timing and makes the tune rich overall, you'll see black smoke coming out of the exhaust and like me assume it's running rich but it could only be one or two cylinders  $10 bottle of injector cleaner and the next time I hit boost it pumped out a huge plume of black smoke, cleared the blockage and then ran great, if that's not the issue it's only a cheap thing to try haha
