I have genuine JIC Magic rear camber arms (Painted black) in a R33 GTS-t on a weird angle. I've tried swapping them side to side but still no go. Had to use a screw driver to lever them on and that screams wrong to me. Im starting to think these are for another model of car. They have been on for about 5000kms

Ever since they have been in the rear seams to be really twitchy at hwy speeds. Alignment is -1deg camber and 1mm toe in. I just finished installing subframe collars and the rear is behaving now at speed but i still don't like that angle.

Well, you're right. There is a lot of load being put into the bushes. What does it look like at the inner end?

I note that you still have standard radius/caster arms on there. That could cause you some grief. Whether it's significant or not will probably depend on why you installed the camber arms. Did you do it to wind in some neg camber, or did you do it to get rid of excessive neg camber? If the latter, then lengthening the camber arms would probably have been best done whilst also lengthening the radius arms. They both work to affect camber on the rear. You have to close your eyes and imagine what happens to the hub location and angle as you lengthen and shorten those arms. If the radius arms are too short then it will pull the front of the hub around inwards, and could work to create that angle at the camber arm outer end.

Camber was something thing stupid like -3 deg before the arms went in :(

Those pics are with no load (jack under diff) Lowered to the ground with wheels on it's not really noticeable on the passenger side but the drivers is. From what I've read the traction arm does'nt need to be changed when doing camber? I think i might get another set of camber arms, bung them in at the same length and see.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
