Cheapest and nicest way to get adjustable camber on your Skyline is with adjustable upper control arm bushes. You can use one on the outer arm only to get up to 2 deg neg camber. If you want to go really hard core then you can also use the same adjustable bush on the inner arm for over 3deg neg camber.

Ppl like Whiteline, Noltec and Nolathane make these bushes. The Whiteline ones are better then the Nolathane ones as the grease nipples in them are better designed...havent tried the Noltec so cant really comment.

Or you can go and try adjustable arms from the likes of Cusco, JIC etc. They are more expensive and wear quicker, and i suppose in theory increase NVH a little. They are a better solution if you want the top kit, but for a road car the bushes offer a nicer compromise.

Thanks Troy, so i just call up Whiteline and ask for R32gtr adjustable upper control arm bushes? Reason is i'm suffering from wearing from the inside tyres at the front. Any contract numbers by anychances?

Whiteline arent selling direct to the public anymore...but Autobarn are now dealers for them.

You may be able to buy off the Whiteline webiste ...https://www.whiteline.com.au/store

or just give Autobarn a call and quote the part numbers:

Front camber kit - KCA336

Adjusts camber +/-1.0 deg. But the std Nissan gear, combined with when the car is lowered give you the ability for about -2.0 deg neg, or as little as -1.0neg if thats what you want. They go afor about $320

Rear camber kit - KCA347

Adjusts camber +/-0.75deg. Need 2 kits/pairs for 1.5deg if used for the inner and the outer bush. About $150 a pair

For Whitelien gear just have a look at ... http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/fact_shee...line_R32GTr.PDF

Or ring a Noltec distributer for price checks

Can i use the front only without worry about the rear yet as i havn't had any problem with it?

Yeh no drama at all.

In case you havent already tried, just make sure that this is the fix to your problem. If your car is pretty much the std ride height, and the front bushes are in fair condition, then it could be a toe/alignment issue...in which case the adjustable bushes will be an expensive fix

Well my car is lowred but not thing much ( VIC ) so it could be toe in/out, any recomend places for a REAL aligment? I've been to tyre power in morrabin before and they're just not helping my car all.

You still use your old number Troy? Oh are you in Melb first?

Thanks Inasnt, i'll let you know as soon as i find out what the problem is.

Cheers

I have Camber tops on my car, haven't messed around with it though.
Skylines have a double wishbone setup mate so won't adjust anything except the angle of the shock. It is for adjusting the camber on Mcpherson strut cars which is what's in the Silvia platform. Leave any playing to the suspension shop.

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
