Limited Choice in Suspension Linkage Kits for R34 GTR's

[jezzrrr]

I have an R34 GTR and am looking to replace the standard suspension linkages wityh aftermarket adjustable (camber and castor) items like Cusco/JIC/testrun BUT I have found that these brands do not seem to make kits/parts fro R34 GTR's. Nismo has a kit but its settings are apparently not adjustable. Whiteline have kits that adjust camber and castor as well but I have been warned agaunst these by every reputable GTR mechanic I know.

Anyone had any experience in this department.

Cheers

problem solved by some helpful hints from the UK forum. For anyone whos interesteed in future Cusco do apparently make front and rear upper arm links that allow a range of camber adjustments. I have a set on the way and will post ressults.

Hi Jeremy, did he give you any reasons for this viewpoint?

Yes. The Camber adjustment is an offset bush type arrangement that I was told would move around over bumps, I actualy have bought the thing from Whiteline and it was when I went to get it fitted that 2 different suspension places said dont do it, get the adjustable upper arms etc from somewhere like Cusco.

Moving around over bumps is simply not true :bs!: If you have a look at how they mount, the adjustment is locked. An adjustable arm has more chance of moving than the offset bush style of adjuster because it has no bush compliance to soak up the vibration.

Whiteline have dealers all over Australia, NZ and USA, give them a call on 02 9603 0111 and ask where your local dealer is. They will fit them for you and they obviously have experience in their parts. In order to be a dealer they have to attend the regular Whiteline training courses.

Hope that is of some help.
