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

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
