Hello, so after a bit of lowering (BC BR coilovers) my R32 seems to have suffered from some negative camber in the rears. I took it in for an alignment and apparently my bushes are worn so it couldn't be done properly.

Just wondering which bits and pieces should receive attention first as I don't think any of it has been touched over the past 20 years.

i.e. Rear adjustable camber arms for the camber, subframe bushes, other bushes?

I'm not looking to spend a huge amount but I'm willing to update the suspension components that need it most. Any help would be great.

The more you lower the more neg camber you'll get. You'll need to add some more adjustability to compensate. The rear has two upper control arms each side, so i'm guessing you'd need 4 sets of adjustable bushes if you choose to go that way. Whiteline make them (and possibly others). Suggest you ask for a suspension shop recommendation in the Vic section and just take it to them to sort out.

Um......many threads on this topic.

Yeah, but people are always happy to have more threads on the same shit. Spread all of the valuable information over multiple threads so the only way to get more information is to start another thread, thus the cycle continues.

I couldn't actually find a thread where it detailed what exactly can/needs to be upgraded and in what order since I just want to refresh the suspension and not drop a bomb on it in one go.

If you could direct me towards these existing threads that'd be nice.

Thanks Adam, seems like I might have to do this.

^^ pretty much. Upper arms f+r and do the bushes that were recomended by the wheel aligner first.....

Hopefully you know what most of this means if not google will help.

And you said about not finding a thread? This is exactly the same as this one you started

Throw some adjustable rear upper arms to dial out the camber, then save up and do the rest of the bushes.

Thanks that's what I was looking for. Just didn't know what jargon to search

    • 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

    • 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
