what is the maximum amount of neg. camber you can get with the KCA347

Depends on the ride height.

At standard ride height, 375 mm (centre of wheel to guard), they have 0.25 degrees negative standard. Plus 0.25 degrees on the standard adjuster, plus 0.75 degrees with one KCA347 kit = 1.25 degrees negative. With 2 x KCA347 kist that's 2.00 degrees negative.

At the lowest recommended ride height, 340 mm (centre of wheel to guard), they have 1.75 degrees negative. Plus 0.25 degrees on the standard adjuster, plus 0.75 degrees with one KCA347 kit = 2.75 degrees negative. With 2 x KCA347 kist that's 3.25 degrees negative.

As usual, that varies slightly from car to car.

:P cheers :whistling:

Whiteline lowered the price after I set up the listing, so the new Group Buy price is Whitelines current price -15%. I confirm all prices in the PM's, so you know exactly what each item costs.

Note that Whiteline's online prices exclude GST (so add 10%) plus freight.

:) Cheers :)

I am off to Bathurst tomorrow for the 12 Hour race, the race team is running (not a Skyline) and I have to do my Team Manager thing. I will be back on Tuesday, so please excuse the slow responses to posts and PM's.

:pirate: cheers :ph34r:

Hey Gary,

Your inbox is full. Trying to get the replacement part off you.

Cheers,

Shiha'b

Lot's of PM's the last 2 days, took a while to respond to them all, the inbox is now clear.

PM reply sent

:P Cheers :(

Hi Gary,

I got my Bilstein strut setup from you probably a year ago now. Performs well through the Adelaide hills, really need to get the bigger sway bars to tighten it up a bit though.

My car makes a 'crack' noise when reversing on full lock, just a single crack.

My tyre mechanic said it is the suspension, something to do with the spring rotating on the end cap, and then letting go. Do you know if this is true? Does something need to be lubricated in there?

Thanks for your help,Trav.

Gary,

need the full kit, got no money - paranoid that the shocks with the custom valves will run out and I'll be left having to go to Fulcrum for the Teins.

I know you've said you're dependant on other countries making big orders to get more stock.

How is the current availability?

May have to get the shocks then later get springs, bushes, sway bars etc as I assume the shocks are the only customised/hard to get bits?

Mine does the same thing (it's jmac's old 34) on full lock sometimes.

The spring doesn't rotate, it's not a MacPherson strut, Skylines (R32/33/34) are double wishbone front and rear. Maybe worn radius rod bushes or upper control arm bushes.

Stabiliser bars are the best value for money handling upgrade you can do, road or track.

:( Cheers :D

Hey there, I sent you a PM a few days ago about a setup for R33 GTSt.

Can you please respond?

Cheers

PM reply sent, sorry for the delay, lots of PM's over the last couple of days, took me a while to catch up.

:( cheers :D

Plenty of stock of R33GTST Bilsteins at the moment. Will be able to accept credit card payment from 1st May.

:( cheers :D

I dont know much about suspension, but im guessing radius rod bushes and upper control arm bushes are different from:

Front Castor Kit, Camber Kit Front, Sub Frame Alignment and Stabaliser Bar sets you sell...

Are these tricky to replace? Am i best to take it somewhere and get them to supply and install new bushes?

SK, I don't actually have a PM from you. Maybe you replied to someone else or didnt hit send?

Radius rod bushes = Front Castor Kit

Front upper control arm bushes = Front Camber Kit

Rear upper control arm bushes = Rear Camber Kit

Rear Sub Frame Alignment Kit = Pineapples

Stabiliser Bar = anti roll bar = sway bar

The recommended suspension workshops are on page one of this thread.

You need a 10 tonnes press to remove the old, worn out, standard, fixed bushes and to replace them with the new, polyurethane, adjustable buhes. Except the Rear Sub Frame Alignment Kit and the Stabiliser Bars, they are DIY with normal home garage tools.

:domokun: Cheers :yes:

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
