Small update. Fitted some Cusco front camber arms today. Set them for max neg, should be around -2.5°.

I've had these for a long time but couldn't find a how to article. Turns out I spent more time looking for fitting instructions than how long it actually took to fit. Was done in under an hour. 3 bolts each side and boom, done.

I've got some Cusco tension rods to fit also and there is some whiteline rear camber arms and hicas lock bar in the mail. Will hopefully fit these during the week and get an alignment on Saturday.

Some pics of the install.acdafa77b40734d63abeb8c1beade7a5.jpg

OHHHHHHHHHHH NO YOU DIDN'T [emoji20]

oh. btw.. SPOOLA R33 is for sale at $28k... runs 10s


That is a very nice car. I like the way he's gone about building it. But I'd rather build than buy. Also, its got a homo auto in it. May as well buy a Honda instead[emoji38]

Managed to fit a hicas lockbar the other day.91c5e3a0d32b64cfa36917d859855696.jpg

Get out. Lol.

Weight reduction[emoji3]

I know a hicas eliminator would have been better but this only took half an hour to do and since the ball joints are still in pretty good shape I went with this gktech lock bar.

I also fitted some Cusco tension rods. These where GTR items, I had them modded by the machinist at work. Needed to trim around 6mm of material off each crush tube end to accommodate for the gtst narrower bush width. The threads on the other end where the nuts go were extended to the bottom also. I also had 2mm machined off the lower lock nut to make sure I can get the castor angle I want. Lol. After all this they fit fine[emoji3]

I had these spacers machined up, so if ever decide to sell these they can still be used on a GTR. Wider market.

Nice work Bill, finally gotten around to fit them hey?

Yep, finally. The tension rods needing to be modified had me procrastinating for a while. Thanks again for the cusco items. Ironically I also bought a set of whiteline rear camber arms exactly like the ones you where selling, waiting on those to arrive. So pretty much, i'll be running exactly the same arms you had in your car once upon a time.

As can be seen in the pics above, the drivers side swaybar link is leaning outwards and the passenger slightly inward, almost straight. I cant really slide the swaybar across any more to correct it,(maybe 2mm) as then i'll have clearance issues with the insides of the tyres scrubbing. I will revisit this after I have a wheel alignment done but can anyone see anything that appears out of the ordinary there with the swaybar install to cause that. Worse case scenario I can run some 5mm spacers on the front wheels to gain a bit of clearance but I'd rather not do that. Everything else on the front end there looks fine, I cant see anything that looks wrong.

Ironically i bought those rear whiteline arms, and just purchased some cusco front arms :P . I used whiteline tension rod bushes though.

 

Looking good mate!

Thanks Trex. I just removed whiteline tension bushes, Very ironic indeed. Lol.

That's a lot of movement. You may need some lateral locks or risk one of the endlinks snapping.

I personally have never had this amount of movement, or my bar possibly self corrects before stopping.

 

You can buy whiteline lateral locks which help minimize lateral movement.

 

 

The swaybar isn't moving under load, I've had to position it like that so that the tyre doesn't rub on it at full lock turning right. Something weird is going on there, just haven't had time to sit there and work it out.

    • 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
