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.

Whiteline have kits that adjust camber and castor as well but I have been warned agaunst these by every reputable GTR mechanic I know.

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

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
