Hey guys,

When i bought my 32gtr it was lowered via a set of adjustable shock and had horrid bump steer. I have since installed the stock shocks that came with it and it has significantly improved the bump steer but the car now looks way too high for my liking.

I'm looking at purchasing some adjustable coilovers soon and want to lower the car again but this time i want to get the bump steer sorted. I know there is a thread on here about what people have used and there are a few options out there, but all seem extremely overpriced to me.

At this point in time i would just be looking to sort out the front suspension geometry by way of the adjuster plates and some extended ball joint tie rod ends, basically what comes in this package... http://www.rhdjapan.com/kansai-service-roll-center-adaptor-and-long-tie-rod-end-set-nissan-bnr32-66717

My question is has anyone got a pair of the roll centre adapter plates that they would be willing to measure up for me? I have a mate who works with the CAD system alot and i reckon it would be a hell of alot cheaper for him to whip me up a drawing and get them machined out of alloy. Could even leave the file up here for others to use if this works out.

Cheers guys

Ummmmmm.....adjustable tie rod ends. I've seen them constantly advertised on eBay, and Just Jap have them, and just about everyone else.

Negative. R32 GTR tie rod ends are different from gtst and 12/14mm silvia/cefiro stuff which is commonly available. The only adjustable ones available on justjap are the ones in a kit for $950.

My mates dropping of the roll centre adjuster plates in the next 15mins, he had to make them out of mild steel as the machine at his work only does up to max 12mm thick alloy, will post up some pics soon.

    • There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/
    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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.
