Fully Adjustable/strengthened R33 Gtr Suspension Set Up.

[ibrox90]

So recently my GTR hasnt really been driven all that much or really been looked at.

Yesterday i got under it doing another job and noticed that nearly all the front suspension bushes are looking worse for wear or they are completely torn up.


At the moment I'm thinking of going for a new suspension set up ( mainly the arms at this stage) as I want to use the car for light track use and i dont want to replace all the bushes then go for a different arms set up that renders them all useless.

the part I'm stuck with is Ive done this with previous RWD cars ( Xr8 falcon) and really noticed the difference, but is it worth doing 100 % aftermarket on a GTR ? or only partly . or even at all ???

If so what items?

Yeah. Ikeya Formula.

[ibrox90]

Any other ..... more descriptive words of wisdom ?

Simply that the Ikeya arms are a good thing if you want adjustable suspension components. Short of that just rebush it (Either with adjustable bushes or not) and replace whatever arms you want to be able to adjust.

Ikeya are super $$ though.

Cusco stuff is a bit more reasonably priced. IIRC Hardrace do stuff as well which is also fairly decent and reasonably budget friendly.

End of the day you don't need all the adjustability if it's light track (and assuming road) duties, you'll just end up making mince meat of tyres etc.

IMO for light track and majority of street duties don't bother, as running negative camber on the street is a pita.

Just get a bush kit. I think one kit offers an offset bushes to assist in camber adjustment for a good alignment. I think it can go to an additional -2 degrees. A better investment for the track is a good set of track tyres.

Hardrace are supposedly a good brand if you want to go down that route. But you can throw some offset bushes and be done with it (Whiteline?).

Usually you're looking at upper arms for camber, and the caster rod, for caster.
