hey guys just a quick question, i have looked at a few post about adjusting the rear camber but havn't found a simple answer.

i have just lowered my r32 and have been told its good to get wheel alignment everytime you lower your car as it can camber out a lot.

my question is, can i get away with JUST installing an adjustable upper rear camber arm, or just a lower rear camber arm, or will i need to use both?

thanks.

oh ok cool, but will i need both upper and lower camber adjustment arms? or either one?

You are getting the terms mixed up.

Have a look at the attachment. It shows an exploded diagram of the rear suspension.

You will see there is a lower arm and two upper links - a front & a rear.

Ignore the lower link it does not get altered as part of a camber adjustment.

To adjust things more than standard you need a camber adjustment kit (or two) that adjusts both the front & rear upper links. One kit does the inside bushes. A second kit does the outside ones but is only needed if you want yet more adjustment. From memory (not reliable) it is about 0.75 degrees per kit.

If you just get a replacement upper rear link (the link, not the bushes) you can fix the camber issue but add in a whole heap of bump steer. Which is what BNR32 is saying.

you may not need either. there is factory rear camber adjustment. just not much of it. try that first. if you still need more adjustment buy upper control arms and traction rods. that will enable you to adjust camber. no you don't need to also get the lower control arms.

      That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now

      As I said, there's trade offs to jamming EVERYTHING in. Timing, resources etc, being the huge ones. Calling out the factory ECU has nothing to do with it, as it doesn't do any form of fancy boost control. It's all open loop boost control. You mention the Haltech Nexus, that's effectively two separate devices jammed into one box. What you quote about it, is proof for that. So now you've lost flexibility as a product too...   A product designed to do one thing really well, will always beat other products doing multiple things. Also, I wouldn't knock COTS stuff, you'd be surprised how many things are using it, that you're probably totally in love with As for the SpaceX comment that we're working directly with them, it's about the type of stuff we're doing. We're doing design work, and breaking world firsts. If you can't understand that I have real world hands on experience, including in very modern tech, and actually understand this stuff, then to avoid useless debates where you just won't accept fact and experience, from here on, it seems you'd be be happy I (and possibly anyone with knowledge really) not reply to your questions, or input, no matter how much help you could be given to help you, or let you learn. It seems you're happy reading your data sheets, factory service manuals, and only want people to reinforce your thoughts and points of view.

      I don't really understand because clearly it's possible. The factory ECU is running on like a 4 MHz 16-bit processor. Modern GDI ECUs have like 200 MHz superscalar cores with floating point units too. The Haltech Nexus has two 240 MHz CPU cores. The Elite 2500 is a single 80 MHz core. Surely 20x the compute means adding some PID boost control logic isn't that complicated. I'm not saying clock speed is everything, but the requirements to add boost control to a port injection 6 cylinder ECU are really not that difficult. More I/O, more interrupt handlers, more working memory, etc isn't that crazy to figure out. SpaceX if anything shows just how far you can get arguably doing things the "wrong" way, ie x86 COTS running C++ on Linux. That is about as far away from the "correct" architecture as it gets for a real time system, but it works anyways.

      It does when you start adding everything else in. But it's not just compute. It's the logic. Getting your timing right (I'm not meaning ignition timing for the engine). Making sure of your memory mappings, seeing your interrupts. Microcontroller devices only have so much capacity. For the most part, you want all those timers and interrupts in use on your engine control, which means you're left with less than ideal methods for timing and management of other control functions.   Let's put it this way, my job is all about building custom hardware, that goes into cars, and integrates with them. We're also waiting on a media confirmation from SpaceX too fora world first we've just completed with them in NZ too. It's not just the little toys I play with. But you know, you can think and believe what you want.
