Anyone have any experience with pillow ball upper mounts?

They get sold separately from the other components by the jap suspension companies so i assume they can be mounted to regular suspension and not just coilovers.

Just interested to know what is involved/replaced when using these.

Cheers

Dave

there prety easy to install and make sure you get the ones to suit your particular car. Just makes adjusting camber alot easier and quicker so like if you go to a track day can have extra egative camber within 5 mins. you can mark them so you know where to adjust them to for street use again later.

Not too sure about the R32 suspension but for you 4 doorz they wont make any difference!!

due to the setup of the suspension, getting the adjustable tops for your coil overs will not change the camber angles at all!!

look at your suspension and you'll see that they will only move the springs and have no effect on camber!!! since the coil overs are free to move within the wishbones!!

A pillow ball upper mount is not necessarily adjustable.

I don't want adjustable, if I did I would get an adjustable top link.

I am interested to know whether pillow ball uppers will fit on stock type suspension as they should remove compliance in the suspension and maintain alignment while cornering hard.

I have tien NRs and like the height and ride and dont want the added expense of coilovers right now.

I kow what your saying now, and i should think that they are pretty much interchangeable!

I'm using Tein HR coil overs with Tannabe pillow ball mounts, only thing is that there is a little movement in the springs due to tannabe's having a skinnier spring than the tein!!! works fine though!!!

only thing is actually trying to find the top mounts only, most places will only sell them as a package! tein sells them but at $600 it's pretty expensive option!!

This is why BHDave wants them!!!

and as i posted the suspension etup doesn't allow adjustable upper mounts to work with the R33's at least!!

That's it. Just thinking about stiffening up the whole lot.

Plus if you have a look inside the wheel well you dont have any room to move the top of the strut around either. Not that it would do much anyway because you have dual wishbones in 32-34 skylines

    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
