How To Install Kts Upper Links

Hey all,

I just purchased a set of KTS upper links for my GTR. I am getting a wheel alignment done on Saturday so tomorrow I will be installing them before I head to the shop.

I have however a question as I cannot read the Japanese instructions.

I have attached a picture with two lines. Yellow and Red. I was wondering which one faces the front of the car when installing. The reason I ask is that they are obviously not the same length so this must make a difference during install.

One of the ends also has a red dot. I understand that the end with the RED dot installs towards the chassis and the other end installs towards the wheel.

If anyone here ( and I doubt it ) Can read Japanese I will also attach a scan of the instructions.

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Daniel

Can't you just pull the current arm out and match it up? (Or does that still leave you with two options....??). I'm sure someone on the list is using this type, try searching for "midori" or "dogbone"

You should probably adjust the new arm to be the same length as the current arm, as a starting point.

Install them with the longer side facing the front of the car.

On a GTSt at least the inside bolts have a larger shank than the outside ones. As your's specify compatible with both BNR and HCR i would assume it is the same on a 32gtr. So that means that only one end will fit the inner mount.

It can be installed 2 ways.

Install this so the "H" has the front leg is longer than the other (i.e. not symetrical). If you install it symetrically (like I did) you don't get enough travel to get much more than -1 degree camber.

I suggest once you are happy with the setup - that is after the wheel alighnment and you are happy wiith the handling, use some locktite on the locking nuts.

      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?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
