There is no sign of damage on that thread. So either a totally wrong size thread was supplied, and not noted by the installed, or it was not installed properly (ie adjusted out way too far).

Either way it is not a problem with the arm itself.

there is 2 threads there the one inside is the one that stripped the outer thread is still okay I can literally slip it on and off with it barley twisting

How far in was that thread when you fit the arms? Can you take a picture of inside the lower control arm and also where the camber arm is adjusted too along with your alignment print out?

Are they stock shocks? If so, why are you using a roll centre adjustment setup?

yeah no worries ill get all that tonight after I get the car home. they are still stock shocks coilovers were ordered a couple weeks ago but haven't arived as yet it was only just set up at the moment so that I could get it dynoed then get the coilovers in and get the suspension setup again

and the tread was about 2 turns out so basically nearly all the way in

Hmmmm still something suss going on man! They shouldnt just pull out OR the thread still would have been attached to the outer part.....

It wasnt cross threaded when you installed it?

that's what I though as well but it's like it just stripped the tip of the threads off its really weird. it defiantly wasn't cross threaded I check it all first.

I'm getting the print out sent to me now do you mind putting it up for me again?

Looks like to body of that shock has been damaged :(

coilovers should be in on Friday the stock shocks will be going in the bin with the rest of the suspension

got the car home today didnt get a chance to get it up on stands but pedders got the lower control arms out of the rear for me the amount of play in the threads even on the side that wasn't damaged is unbelievable

How that thread just slipped out of position without getting any obvious damaged is very strange. I need to see a better quality close up of the thread.

The thread engagment must have been so bad that tightening the lock nut up put the thread on the verge of just pulling stright out as it looks in the photo.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 馃槅
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
