Cusco used to do a fixed length upper front suspension arm for the Gt-R (Amongst others) Are they still available as I am after some, preferably in a -10mm length or less at a pinch. For a 32 model.

I looked but there does not appear to be anyone listing them presently.

And yes I have seen the adjustable ones. Also the Whiteline gear.

man you are lucky. I came home to find a bit of parquetry floor lifting from all the moisture we've had. so I grabbed a set of turbos to weigh it down. that wasn't enough so I grabbed a pile of goods masters (I have a lot) and right on top was the 2007 cusco one!

Cusco BNR32 GTR front upper control arm. fixed length, -10mm = 231 479 AD

AC is -5mm

AB is standard

AA is + 5mm

now post me those bonnet liner clips!

they wont fit R32 merlin. even with your magic. :)

R32s have different upright and upper control arm arrangement to 33s and 34 GTRs. :P

Got pics of the R32 ones?

you're kidding richard, bonnet liner clips? we removed 2 liners last week - how many do you need.

+1 for bryy's question - why not adjustables?

1 would be sufficient, 2 would be gravy. I'll even promise not to tax your beers next time we are at dinner (providing of course fatz doesn't tax mine)...

and to answer the other questions my guess is he's run out of adjustment with whatever arms he's using now. I know my midori type ones touched in the middle with only about 2.5neg (could mod them for more). the noltec ones I have now are good, but again, they are as short as they go and give me 3 neg. again, could probably mod them for more if need be. but I guess if you are happy with a certain set-up then fixed is the go.

anyway, you are a gingerbeer, just cut and weld the ones you have now you lazy bastard.

Hmm, this went ape shit in my absence.

1. Baron I sent you a packet of clips (or was that chips?) before Christmas, but didn't re-check the address before I posted it. If Druncan can't find any I will have another go (after checking the address).

2. Rain? What the fk is rain?

3. I don't like the adjustable arms because I worry that in a moment of kerb hopping excess the rather insipid clamping bolts (that dictate the length) will give up their unequal struggle.

4. Yes I have run out of adjustment on my Whiteline ones. The outer adjuster is wound all the way in & I even had made an offset pin for the inner arm.

5. Duncan, what do you recommend for the longer, lower arm?

6. 32 & 33 arms are fundamentally different.

very succintly put.

there are a few people making front LCAs for R32s. ikeya springs to mind, but to be honest their arms don't impress me nearly as much as cusco ones. if cusco make a front LCA for R32 then buy that for sure. looks like I'll have to unweight the floor again briefly tonight. nagisa auto make them too.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
