get a 2 way

[admS15]

I knew you where gonna say that. I will one day but probably a 1.5 way[emoji3]

[admS15]

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.

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]

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

dw cuz, put a 350Z 6 speed into it and a S15 crown/pinon... fuarkk dose for days

[admS15]

Managed to fit a hicas lockbar the other day.

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.

[admS15]

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.





And fitted up




Plenty of castor[emoji3]



And a little neg camber.

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.

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

 

Looking good mate!

[admS15]

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.

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

[Count Grantleyish]

Hmm... How are the bushes on the swaybar link?

What swaybar are they? Looks like Whiteline from pics?

[admS15]

Yep, they're whiteline and the bushes and links are the ones that came in the kit. Everything was brand new, around 6 months old now and still in excellent condition.

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.

 

 

[admS15]

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.

[admS15]

Whiteline rear upper camber arms arrived and fitted.











Wheel alignment booked for tomorrow.
