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.

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

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

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.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
