R32 Gtr Roll Centre Adjusters

[joeyta22]

Hey guys,

When i bought my 32gtr it was lowered via a set of adjustable shock and had horrid bump steer. I have since installed the stock shocks that came with it and it has significantly improved the bump steer but the car now looks way too high for my liking.

I'm looking at purchasing some adjustable coilovers soon and want to lower the car again but this time i want to get the bump steer sorted. I know there is a thread on here about what people have used and there are a few options out there, but all seem extremely overpriced to me.

At this point in time i would just be looking to sort out the front suspension geometry by way of the adjuster plates and some extended ball joint tie rod ends, basically what comes in this package... http://www.rhdjapan.com/kansai-service-roll-center-adaptor-and-long-tie-rod-end-set-nissan-bnr32-66717

My question is has anyone got a pair of the roll centre adapter plates that they would be willing to measure up for me? I have a mate who works with the CAD system alot and i reckon it would be a hell of alot cheaper for him to whip me up a drawing and get them machined out of alloy. Could even leave the file up here for others to use if this works out.

Cheers guys

See attached. They were drawn ages ago and I think the trainee draftie did them so cant guarantee dimensions. Not sure what grade aluminium they are either.

But bump steer and roll centres are not related.

Legend! Thanks for that mate, makes it alot easier on my part. Only thing it's missing is the width of the plate but thats easily measured up off the stock ball joint plate.

Cheers, Joe

Was reading that as 25.5 radius of the circle >.< , thanks again. Now to find some adjustable tie rod ends.... proving a little harder than thought....

Ummmmmm.....adjustable tie rod ends. I've seen them constantly advertised on eBay, and Just Jap have them, and just about everyone else.

Negative. R32 GTR tie rod ends are different from gtst and 12/14mm silvia/cefiro stuff which is commonly available. The only adjustable ones available on justjap are the ones in a kit for $950.

My mates dropping of the roll centre adjuster plates in the next 15mins, he had to make them out of mild steel as the machine at his work only does up to max 12mm thick alloy, will post up some pics soon.
