R33 Rear Camber Arms

[R33_NICK]

im chasing a pair of brand new R33 rear camber arms but cant seem to find any dealers here in WA. brands im after are either Kazama, Cusco, JIC, and Ikeya Formula. JPC sells Kazamas but unfortunately they dont have any in stock and will take a long time for it to arrive. anyone knows any places that sells these named brand suspension components in WA?

[clarklee15]

try JPC? vision R Jparts

[NA_Goodness]

Also interested.

He just said they didnt have any mate. Not getting any in for another 3 weeks. I've already waited 3 weeks for them to get them in.

as mentioned JPC doesnt have any brand new ones in stock at the moment and both Rhys and I have waited too long only to find that until now they still dont have them in stock, Vision R doesnt have any and Jparts also nil or none of the mentioned brands. surely there should be someone here who knows places in WA that sells Cusco, Kazama, JIC and Ikeya Formula suspension parts.

I got mine from WA Suspenders, no brand name but they look a lot stronger than some of he branded shit out there (read: much larger tube, they are also one side instead of a loop so I can adjust my traction arms without the coilover hitting the arm).

Look stronger but are they ? I have no namers coming out and going Kazama's

If they break I'll be blaming Bard! The quality looks fine and the tube is nearly double the diameter of most of the others I have seen.

I went to see Matty the other day, but he recommended I went to Danny cos the Whiteline ones they sell foul on the coilover, meaning you need traction arms as well for it all the fit properly.

I have different ones, they aren't Whitelines.

That's what they have available at the moment, anyway

[bubba]

Too bad for everyone else then

Mine were destined for the 32 but they're being fitted to the wagon tomorrow.

just like to add that R32 camber arms front and rear are completely different in design to those on R33 and R34s and maybe even the Stageas. S13s and R32s share the same suspension layout(1989-1993) but R33/R34s together with S14/S15s share the same suspension layout(1993-2000).

If any are chasing brands other than Japanese ones, make sure the material used is made of strong steel like medium carbon steel for example which has better wear resistance and used mainly in forging and automotive components(done some research). normally suspension places should know their products anyway.

keep in mind as well that if your car is to be used for the street, make sure that your chosen suspension arm has dust boots to cover the pillowball bearing from road grime and lots of brands even some Japanese ones like Ikeya Formula have exposed bearings which are ok if your car is dedicated for track use but on the street its a no-no so check before you buy.

anyways, still no one around who knows places that sells Cusco, Ikeya Formula, JIC and Kazamas??

Rear are the same dude....well they were for the 10 years i was doing suspension.

Front of 32, 33 and S13 are all different.

Stagea is a bit of a mix match of parts of gtr and gtt/gts.

tho the R32s and S13s rear upper control arms, even the aftermarket ones have a different design where it wraps both sides in an 'O' shape around the strut and the 33s, even the S14/S15s have a bend which also goes around the strut but only on one side in a slight 'U' shape instead but yeah the rear upper link(traction arms) and lower control arm are the same.

The arms you sold me for the 32 went on the Stagea on Saturday, less camber and some toe adjustments have made a rather nice difference!

And yeah Stageas are a big mix and match of parts, each variant (2WD auto, 2WD manual, 4WD auto) seems to be different.

S13 is different front setup to 32 so NOT same layout and S14 is different front to 33 n 34 so NOT same layout ..

32 , 33 n 34 share same rear upper arm ??

sorry i should've mentioned rear suspension not both

[R33_NICK]

doesnt seem like anyone knows where to get Jap suspension parts in WA

[NA_Goodness]

Not unless we buy off the interwebz mate.

Btw, I'll probably be getting mine off Danny anyway. Spent all my money of some new camera shit, so gotta start saving up for these again

Yeah. Camber arm and toe arms are all interchangeable. Some have minor cosmetic differences...but its only visual

The "O" type, or ring type...what ever you prefer to call it, is more due to manufacturer design than vehicle suitability.

Some prefer to make a ring tpye, others have a single rod arm type.

Both do the same job.

The whiteline arms are a great product, however as they wont make the "O" part wider, it is no good with after market shocks as they hit.
