I got new wheels put on my 1995 R33 GTR V-spec the other day and the wheel alignment results said that the car needs a front camber and caster kit put on.

I have looked on different websites for Ikeya Formula front upper camber arms and there are two different types postive and negative I'm guessing I need the negative type but not sure?

For caster adjustment do I only need tension rods.?? http://www.rhdjapan.com/ikeya-formula-strengthened-bush-tension-rods-4wd-nissan.html

I bought Cusco items for both. The Cusco upper (neg) camber arms are cheaper than the Ikeya items and perfectly satisfactory.

I like the Ikeya tension arms because you can specify bush type rather than pillowball (although they are very expensive)

Unless you're running R spec tyres that's too much neg camber. Have you lowered the car a lot? (that will bring more neg camber). SydneyKid used to say that 350mm wheel centerline to top of the guard is as low as you can go on the front and still get a reasonable result. That required two sets of the whiteline adjustable bushes (one for the inner pivot, one for the outer pivot) on the stock upper control arm. For the rear dont go below 340mm. The front should always be 10mm higher that the rear. Fronts guards need to open out more to provider clearance for the turning wheels - its not that the car is dragging its bum.

Remember pillow ball aka rose join stuff is probably not legal, and wont last as long as bushed stuff, so unless its a dedicated race car, is a better option IMO.

Just jap may have some hardrace arms that are supposed to be ok if you want to take that road.

I'm using Achilles ATR Sport tyres 265/35 r18 on Work XD9 rims 18x10's , The car had been lowered before I bought it with all aftermarket suspension front and back with all aftermarket control arms at the rear. When I got it, the owner returned the front suspension back to stock. Now the car sits high at the front and low at the back. This is just a street car.

Not sure how you come to have so much negative camber with stock suspension. .. its great with slicks on the track but it will make a mess of your 265s on the street. You won't correct that much with bushes you will need camber arms.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
