Hi Fellas,

I just had a few questions in regards to my KCA347 rear camber kit:

1) How much (off the top of your head) would it be to install if I take it to pedders and to adjust it to what I want (-0.75 degrees)

2) Is it true that in order to set the desired camber, they have to install it, put the car on the ground, measure it, if it's not what I want, they have to jack it up again, take it out, adjust the camber, install it back in, measure it, until I get the desired result?

3) Do they sell kits that are just adjustable while they are installed on the car, and how do they differ from the KCA347 rear camber kit?

4) Is the standard rear hieght of an R33 GTS-T from the centre of the wheel to the guard 370mm? The reason I am asking is because I want k-mac to make me a set of springs, and they need the standard hieght, and then the desired high so they can from there make up the spring.

However, if the standard height from new is 370mm, should I tell them that the standard hieght is 360mm in order to take into account the spring sag over time?

My car doesn't currently have standard springs, this is why I am asking, because I cannot simply measure it from my car.

Cheers

Hi there,

1. Need to ask Pedders.

2. I doubt it. Centre metal sleeve/spool is offset hole to bolty, maybe one piece, or was on my castor kit from Whiteline leastwise, I would imagine the principle is the same for camber, can't remember what my kit looked like now. Therefore car is raised, centre bolt/sleeve rotated, car lowered to be set at required camber if not correct on first adjustment & bolt checked/retensioned in new position. Or something along those lines, didn't watch the procedure so am taking a guess here. Have a look at your kit. Is the hole in the steel centre sleeve central or offset?

3. Pedders? Dunno. Ikeya Formula & others, probably. $$$$$$$$$

4. Hopefully someone can FAST that detail for you.

5. See your question 4?

My 2c

Cheers GW

Depends if you can get that sort of alignment with one camber kit or it you need two.

2) Is it true that in order to set the desired camber, they have to install it, put the car on the ground, measure it, if it's not what I want, they have to jack it up again, take it out, adjust the camber, install it back in, measure it, until I get the desired result?

No.

3) Do they sell kits that are just adjustable while they are installed on the car, and how do they differ from the KCA347 rear camber kit?

As per 2. The Whiteline kit can be adjusted on the car.

4) Is the standard rear hieght of an R33 GTS-T from the centre of the wheel to the guard 370mm? The reason I am asking is because I want k-mac to make me a set of springs, and they need the standard hieght, and then the desired high so they can from there make up the spring.

Ask the compliance shops. They will be sure as it is part of their procedures.

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
