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.

    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
