REAR SUSPENSION HELP NEEDED!!!

I AM UPGRADING THE LOWER ARMS ON THE REAR TO A SET I PURCHASED FROM JAPWAREHOUSE. The new lower arms come with their own tappered cone bush/spacer...but this alone does not seem enough...apparantly you need to take the old cone/bush/spacer off the old arms and use. when i do this the spacing still does not seem right.....I AM UNSURE WHAT I NEED TO CANABALISE OFF THE OLD LOWER ARM SET? THE BOLT SHAFT SEEMS A LITTLE TOO LONG EVEN IF I TAKE THE OLD CONE BUSH/SPACER OFF THE OLD LOWER ARM. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? CAN ANYONE ADVISE ON WHAT i NEED TO MAKE THE SPACING RIGHT? check the photos of the old new...any help or direction to a how to thread would be appreciated...

cheers

i did the rear lower, upper arms and also the traction rod.

The engine has been delayed due to special crank shaft delay. It finally arrived the other week. The engine is now being built. All machining is finished. Pistons getting mods. Block has been washed. Block is getting strengthened next week. Aim is to be finished by the 3rd and go to Phillip Island for testing.....

fingers crossed.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
