Who Has Done Adjustable Front Camber Bushes?

If you have swapped your front, upper, outer camber bushes for adjustable ones (ie. Whiteline, SuperPro, Nolathane, etc. etc) I would like to buy your old bolts!

Here is my predicament... all the adjustable units use an "eccentric bush" design, and these use crush tubes which are threaded at either end and come with their own bolts:

The original unit, however, is an unthreaded crush tube, which has one long bolt that goes all the way through, with a nut on the other end.

I have had the adjustable units for some time, but now I am upgrading to adjustable castor arms, and I need the original bolts. The workshop which fitted mine has I think discarded my original bolts.

If you still have your original bolts, I'll give you $20 plus postage for them :) It would save me a long wait for the parts to come from Japan.

Alternatively, if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears... I think the R33 and R34 (GTST, GTT and GTR) all used the same bolts, but RWD stagea is different (S14).

Cheers

Sorry threw mine away...but can you not just measure the length and diameter and go to an engineers supply shop and buy a couple of high tensile bolts and Nyloc nuts?

Sorry was thinking of camber but without looking would it hold also for castor arms?

Thanks guys. I looked around and ended up getting some second-hand R33 bolts, which are the same. Fitted them last night (getting those camber bushes in can be a real pain) and car is with the wheel aligners now. I have gone to adjustable camber arms, since I have had 4 sets of eccentric-bolt-adjustable camber bushes, and I still didn't have enough camber adjustment on the driver's side.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
