R33 adjustable caster bushes

Just got a some caster arms with adjustable bushes. Any ideas which bush is suited for which side of the car.

Edit: I have read + is for the passengers side and - is for the drivers side.

I have assumed the one closest is the passengers and the one furthest away is the drivers side.

Can someone confirm this :)

They should be adjusted the same so you'll end up with equal castor on each side.

If you're installing it as so you'll have one side with like 6degrees of castor and one side with 4 degrees of castor (numbers made up)

I know that the caster will be different, it this a normal thing to do ? Supposedly people do it to counter the slight left pull from driving on the left side.

Any ideas on how you adjust them, the centers feel pretty solid ?

Push out crush tube.  Align as per how you want it, push it back in.  With fresh lube.

As I said, the reality is that they offer little real adjustment.  if you want them dialled in to slight differences side to side, you couldn't hope to know/guess what they were actually delivering anyway, because the caster you get on each side of the car could be affected by a number of other things (such as whether the subframe is straight in the car, state of the upper and lower arm bushes, etc etc.  So the best you can do would be to make them as short as possible, put them in, and then get it put on a wheel aligner and see what you got.  If it's not to your liking, get one of them re-adjusted slightly longer to to give you the change [you/your wheel alignment guy] [want/need] (strike out whichever is inapplicable).

I had these previously in my R33, My aligner pretty much said chuck them in the bin because they are a pain in the ass to get right. For the extra hundred or two you can get adjustable length arms that work great 

:/ I set mine up in my backyard... they were both spot on 7deg when we put it on the aligner lol

What he said.  The way they are has nothing to do with how they will go in.  The reality is, these things offer about 1/3 of the adjustment you really need, so just set them both to the shortest and install them.  Then drive away happy.

I couldn't disagree more... Read my above post.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
