Hi people.....This week i will have finished a set of front upper arms......These will give you a variable camber adjustment.....i would like to see who would be interested in such a thing.....i havent worked out a fixed price yet although theres quite a bit of work in these so i wont be giving them away......If theres enough interest i will do the sums and let you guys know.....there will be a percentage that will be donated to SAU for all sales made........ but those that will be interested should know the going cost on these ...not to mention the importance of trying to save those expensive tyres on track days!

Thanks

after pricing up what it will cost to make the arms properly i dont think its viable to make them on a large scale and sell them ....theres just not enought interest not to mention theres most likely an offset bush thats available to give you more camber but none adjustable....i will still be making them...but most likely just for my own use...profile cutting,pipe bending,bush's,powder coating,plus the materials,my fabrication time and a donation to the club brings the cost to $450 a pair....something i think people will not pay

ok guys...heres how we make things.....First we make a jig for the item.....This ensures all our parts fit and are exactly the same......we make a shaft up for all the mounting points then eitheir drill a hole and bolt the material to the jig during the manufacturing process or make it a nice slide on slide off fit.....where the bush's fit on the arms i have machined down a peice of pipe the exact bush and on the bolt end i got a peice of solid bar and drilled a 12mm bolt hole through it(this is the size of the bolt on the outer side)As you can see we have all our mounting points covered.......As you can see we then remove the bolt then product can then be swung away and lifted off the jig........This jig has been made double sided.....the rear of the jig is used for left arms and the front is used for right.....It always pay to have a bit of a think before starting to make the jig :( we then fabricate the product around this jig.....i will post the units being made if people are interested

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
