Ok guys, I just lowered my R32 GTSt, and have noticed that the rear wheels are very uneven as to how they sit under the guards. The right side has more camber and sits further into the wheel arch than the left. I will try to post pictures tomorrow, but does anyone have any ideas?? It may have been that way before, I didn't notice if it was, maybe cos the suspension was higher. Is it possibly something bent in the rear sub-frame?? Is this going to cost me an arm and a leg to fix? Please help, any info would be appreciated.....

I used to have a VS Commodore V8 with IRS. That was lowered with the whiteline kit.

It had massive camber on the rear end and from memory the left wheel had more camber and appeard to sit up in the guard slightly more.

What the bloke did was fit the $500 4 way camber and castor kit then to even the car out he placed small spacers under or on top of the springs. Due to the left wheel having more camber when the camber was corrected the left side sat higher. hence the right hand side also had to come up slightly with those spacer things I was talking about.

I had my suspension done at a Bridgestone suspension and steering place.

So yer its not a big deal. :)

Measure it form the centre of the wheel to the guard (vertically) on all 4 corners. Then post the results up and I can give you some idea of what may be wrong. :)

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
