Eccentric bushes only is my understanding Serge, but I also hear that heaps of people cut and shorten upper arms to get camber (illegal).

No idea about the undertray, or if it was even there when I ran the car. MPC took care of the car as you know, maybe they have it because I know they needed to tidy up under the car quite a bit after we used it in 2008.

IMO, you're better off making an aluminium one that pushes snugly behind the lower lip, as the factory plastic one very quickly grinds the leading edge off on the road, and turns itself into a huge air scoop, and makes a horrendous flapping noise and bangs the whole car quite violently! First time it happened to us we stopped mid stage because we'd thought a wheel was loose in the wheel well!

The factory ones are far too expensive too, but I can assure you, I didn't steal it and take it home with me as carry on luggage :D

See what I mean? Rally Burnie, 2006;

My understanding is only bushes too, but i've seen plenty of GT-R's running noltec syle upper arms. Also look at the N1 part numebrs in Nissan fast, these is plenty of standard parts on a N1 that arn't widely known :D

Yeah I have. Ralf and the guys there are good blokes and know a bit BUT they insist on using that damn laser alignment machine and sometimes you can physically see that what the machine is saying isn't what the alignement is in reality.

So they can do most of the mechanical set-up side but you're still going to want to get it string line aligned somewhere afterwards.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
