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:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
