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?

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.

    • God I love shiny engine parts 🥰 Are you looking for more horsetorques in the mid range? (Smaller cam) Or just more horsetorques every where? (Big heads and bigger revs) Assumption: they were not bought late night shopping on the interwebs after drinking too many beers, which is typically how I pull pins on things......🤣 The evolution of your car is coming along nicely, I sometimes wish I didn't get bored with my cars and keep flipping them, maybe the MX5 will be different  
    • I got the hazards working! Turned out it was disconnected! Indicator stock still isn’t working. I took the steering shroud off and there seems to be a third connection missing I see two small white connectors but they don’t fit the indicator switch unless they need a short lead to convert the connector type. Can someone point me in the direction of the wiring diagram for the indicator switch?   https://share.icloud.com/photos/0e8ReiFSLBVJsTPUKKfA_1IdQ  
    • All of your suspension bushes/bolts etc, should also only ever be tightened when the car is sitting with full weight too.   IE, jack it back up, shove a heap of stuff down so you can lower the wheels onto so the car is "on the ground" but you have room to get under it.   It's why when properly done, you should be able to remove the shock and spring, but the arms won't go to 100% droop. If you don't do the above, you'll destroy your bushes.
