Hi, I was wondering if anyone could check Fast to search for both left and right lower control arms on a R32 GTR? I have a 1993 model, series 2.

I'm having issues with these arms. I purchased a replacement for my suspected bent one but I don't think it is the right one and the number stamped on it is different. I tried contacting Nissan but was told Fast no longer has R32's loaded. I'm getting desperate and don't want to buy another until I know what the issue is.

Do you need my VIN?

Thanks in advance

Cheers

Probably the most accurate way, but here are all the part numbers. A late R32 is what I selected:

It looks like the part changed in 93, so VIN would show only one part.

Hey, thanks Randy. My VIN is BNR32-301183 . The arms on my car have H2405U (Left) marked in the casting. 5H05U (Right). The right one seems to be the problem and increases neg camber more than left.

I fitted another right arm marked 3405U and drastically reduced camber to zero. I'm pretty sure the left one is correct and camber is where it should be. Only things it could be is the 3rd link or maybe the cross member? Car has no signs of major damage that's been repaired so I'm thinking the original arm is bent and I need a replacement 5H05U.

Thanks again for the quick reply mate.

No probs! Cheers!

Presumably you don't have camber bolts in the struts?

Here are the part numbers for your car, and the alternate part numbers. The other side is 54505 with the same endings.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
