are R33 rear camber arms the same as the stagea?? just put my rims on and ive got inner rim rubbing on the coil overs so i neen some adjustable camber arms

i hope so ive just ordered a set

I'm using cheap no brand ones on the back.

(These ones: http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...n-241703763.htm )

people who sell Cusco will tell you that the cheap ones will break, welding is no good etc but there are plenty of cheap ones being tracked and not breaking. i guess you should have a good look at them when they arrive and decide whether they look sturdy enough. I was lucky to get second hand cusco castor arms for the front for $150.00 (like this ...although i don't know if R32GTR will fit Stagea??

just ordered a set of the $125 ebay specials, hopfully they are ok, my cars sitting at the tyre joint at the moment getting the rear guards rolled, they couldnt get enough camber adjustment from the stock bolt so gotta get the adjustables, he said the the cheapo ones can seize up somtimes, he had a set there at the moment that were soaking.. any other guys have issues like this??

what ones did you order?? are the cheap $100 ones ok?? i just cant justify spending $280 on second hand cusco ones when they look the same..

yeah i just got some cheap ones, when you look at the photos of the different brands they all appear almost exactly the same.

has anyone fitted front camber arms? my front camber is -1.5mm, is this too much as far as uneven tyre wear is concerned?

Your front camber is not that far off. Cusco arms can seize up too. I put mine in the vise and unwound them completely and cleaned up the threads.

Yer i had my Cusco rear toe arms sieze on my s13 just put them in a vice and unwound them n cleaned them as you said also helps if you put some "antisieze" on the threads helps to stop them binding up from a build up of shit in the threads...

On another note has anyone tried to fit R34 Gtt coilovers to a 99 s2 RS4 before (i know the argument is that normal shock valving is weak but u would assume aftermarket coilovers wouldnt be to bad)... found out a friend has a set he is selling n was thinking of seeing how far out the fitment is for the stag's cause i was thinking of getting them for the missus...

apparently my cusco coilovers came off an R34... i only put them on 2 weeks ago though, seem to be ok so far..

does anyone have a part number for rear wheel pasanager bearings ? Allso im a little pissed off with bilstein at the moment, leaking shock after only 9 months, but its being covered under warranty so its not too bad.

Auto RS4 has eyelet bottom on rear shock

R34 GTT and Manual stagea RS4 S has fork bottom on rear shocks

R33 or S14 rears will fit an RS4 rear

Hey man

yours auto or manual/rs4 or 260rs ?

you fit them yourself i take it, they fit up/bolt holes n stuff all lined straight up ?

got any pics of the coilovers ?

were the rears an eyelet or were they the fork style on the rear ?

Just replaced my coilovers in my s2 rs, with reco'd teins. I think they're superwagons from what I can tell, the code is dmn-81.... the closest match on the websiste are jap spec superwagons which ar dsn-78... not sure if I'm reading it correctly. Can anyone confirm?

Turns out I did have NISMO coilovers in there! Pitty they were shot, I think i'll hang on to them and wait and see how the teins go. Anyone know what sort of quality the nismo one's are? They must be half decent.

Was a super easy job,

front-three bolts at the top and two at the bottom. undid the lines and swap. May be slightly different in an AWD?

back- two bolts at the top, and one at the bottom. Just used a scissor jack to line the bottom eyelet (correct term?) up under load.

too easy!

Just put it in for a wheel alignment, but the ride didn't seem jarring (which is what others on here have warned with teins). I could definately feel the road more, but the ride was fairly smooth.

Sory for the pic overload, I know they're not the greatest shots. But I think this might have helped me when I was trying to see how if I could do it myself.

Cheers,

Dave-

i know this might seem a bit strange but what are the colour of the factory springs on series 1 rs4? i ask this as when i was under the car the other day the rears were green and the front were black.

Whoa, now I see them in both posts... I must be going mad :thumbsup:

thanks Dave for the how-to. The jack under the rear shock is clever... no spring compressor (hate those things)... but is where you've got the stands supposed to bear the full weight of the car? Guess it's ok?

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
