Hello, so after a bit of lowering (BC BR coilovers) my R32 seems to have suffered from some negative camber in the rears. I took it in for an alignment and apparently my bushes are worn so it couldn't be done properly.

Just wondering which bits and pieces should receive attention first as I don't think any of it has been touched over the past 20 years.

i.e. Rear adjustable camber arms for the camber, subframe bushes, other bushes?

I'm not looking to spend a huge amount but I'm willing to update the suspension components that need it most. Any help would be great.

The more you lower the more neg camber you'll get. You'll need to add some more adjustability to compensate. The rear has two upper control arms each side, so i'm guessing you'd need 4 sets of adjustable bushes if you choose to go that way. Whiteline make them (and possibly others). Suggest you ask for a suspension shop recommendation in the Vic section and just take it to them to sort out.

Um......many threads on this topic.

Yeah, but people are always happy to have more threads on the same shit. Spread all of the valuable information over multiple threads so the only way to get more information is to start another thread, thus the cycle continues.

I couldn't actually find a thread where it detailed what exactly can/needs to be upgraded and in what order since I just want to refresh the suspension and not drop a bomb on it in one go.

If you could direct me towards these existing threads that'd be nice.

Thanks Adam, seems like I might have to do this.

^^ pretty much. Upper arms f+r and do the bushes that were recomended by the wheel aligner first.....

Hopefully you know what most of this means if not google will help.

And you said about not finding a thread? This is exactly the same as this one you started

Throw some adjustable rear upper arms to dial out the camber, then save up and do the rest of the bushes.

Thanks that's what I was looking for. Just didn't know what jargon to search

    • Half anticipating the next question then: I have two magnets stuck in my oil pan. What should I do? 
    • If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?
    • Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...  
    • There's nothing that some paddle pop sticks and extra cable ties can't fix.
    • Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy
