I have an R34 GTR and am looking to replace the standard suspension linkages wityh aftermarket adjustable (camber and castor) items like Cusco/JIC/testrun BUT I have found that these brands do not seem to make kits/parts fro R34 GTR's. Nismo has a kit but its settings are apparently not adjustable. Whiteline have kits that adjust camber and castor as well but I have been warned agaunst these by every reputable GTR mechanic I know.

Anyone had any experience in this department.

Cheers

Jeremy

problem solved by some helpful hints from the UK forum. For anyone whos interesteed in future Cusco do apparently make front and rear upper arm links that allow a range of camber adjustments. I have a set on the way and will post ressults.

Hi Jeremy, did he give you any reasons for this viewpoint?

Yes. The Camber adjustment is an offset bush type arrangement that I was told would move around over bumps, I actualy have bought the thing from Whiteline and it was when I went to get it fitted that 2 different suspension places said dont do it, get the adjustable upper arms etc from somewhere like Cusco.

Moving around over bumps is simply not true :bs!: If you have a look at how they mount, the adjustment is locked. An adjustable arm has more chance of moving than the offset bush style of adjuster because it has no bush compliance to soak up the vibration.

Whiteline have dealers all over Australia, NZ and USA, give them a call on 02 9603 0111 and ask where your local dealer is. They will fit them for you and they obviously have experience in their parts. In order to be a dealer they have to attend the regular Whiteline training courses.

Hope that is of some help. :P

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
