undo'ing one of the links will take the sway bar out of the equation as it effectively means its just hanging off one side and not under any tension

i have the same problem as you, caused from the same thing (gutter), and unfortunately i know what the problem is.... bent chassis rail :D

anyone know how much it would cost to get it straightened out if i remove all the necessary parts for a panel beater to get to the rail ?! sorry bit off topic..

I'm not sure if this is the same sort of problem, but mine was weird

but when I had the std suspension taken out of my 32 GTST it was leaning to the right. put new shocks and springs in, made the height adjustment and it still didn't help

In the end the guy had to have a custom bracket made up to bring the right side up to the height as the left

i might have to see the guys down at fulcrum ( spelling?). when installing the top arms what would cause one of the bolt holes to be out of alignment? when i put the stock items back in after the adjustable ones died, i put the bolt through the one at the back then tried to put the bolt through the one at the front and it was out by about 5mm. anyone?

  • 4 weeks later...

ok i know its been awhile but i have been busy. went down to fulcrum this morning and they didn't even pickup on the height difference. and here is the specs sheet they gave me.

There are whole pile of little issues that I can see, not one big one. I have read back through this thread and I can't see the rear height measurements. I know the front is 380/350 (L/R) but what is the rear?

With that information, I will write up what I suggest you do and what settings you need.:)

quick check , have you got the 'a' s on the front upper arms on the outside of the car, the arms only go in one way. Also they have to be torqued up when the car is at normal road height, possibly they may not have tightened one of them properly.

Also is there any packing behind the plates that the top arms mount too - on the body, maybe someone has tried to adjust the camber that way.

no.. i completly took off the adjustable arms and then fitted standard items and there was nothing there.. when the left side went in it didn't line up with the outside bolt, i had to twist the arm to get it to line up.. and yes the arms have the a to the outside of the car

    • Also, the cause of fuel spills and smells from the top of the tank is almost always the rubber hoses that are up there, not the tank seal.
    • 1. No, as you say you can remove the connectors and fuel lines. Before you do make sure you remove fuel pump fuse and crank the starter a few times to release pressure, and also loosen the fuel cap (just in case the tank is slightly pressurised) as it will pump out the lines otherwise 2. Not necessary but you are right, if it is the factory pump it is at risk of failing after 25 years....Changing it is not hard but potentially not trivial as you have to make sure you have the right pickup/sock for the pump to suit the tank, need to make wiring connections (crimped butt connectors would be fine) and have to mount/adapt the new pump in the right place in the cradle. Not impossible but don't start the job if you aren't confident. Also, the plastic nut that holds that seal in place can be really hard to remove. If you don't have a fuel nut removal tool it generally requires a big screwdriver or similar to bash the ring around a few times before you can get it by hand. Also the fuel lines can be very sticky on the tank lid fittings, hose removal pliers can help or if not twist the hose on the fitting (eg with linesperson's pliers) to break the seal before you try and remove it. Finally, mark the feed and return hoses so you don't put them on backwards and seal them with an m8 bolt to stop crap getting into the lines while working. Add a little grease in the threads of the plastic lid when you go to do it back up as a gift to your future self, and make sure you put it on evenly/not cross threaded.  Having said all that, most likely the lid just needs to be either tightened or removed and put back on without being cross threaded...the seal itself is usually pretty good.
    • Another weekend and another project I have questions about.... I bought a fuel tank sender O ring to install on the car because I'm quite sus on what I've got now.  1. No "whooosh" sound when opening fuel cap 2. If I fill up full tank, there will be a small leak under the car and it comes from the top of the fuel tank, dripping along the side. Stops after a short while 3. Hot days = 50/50 chance to get high as a kite inside the cabin if the car was in the sun for too long This is what I bought: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/1734279900 My plan was to just replace the O ring but I've got some questions: 1. Does the whole fuel pump assembly need to come out for me to replace the O ring?         Or, could I unplug all the connectors and fuel lines at the top, take off the twisty part (17343) and put in the O ring from the top?  2. Is it a very common thing for everyone to just change the pump whenever doing this?        I see the Walbro 255 gets thrown in a lot but I've got no issues with my pump so far. When I did the tune, I asked the guy to check my fuel pressure and he said there were no issues too. But is it just a good idea to change to the 255 anyway as the old unit may have been in there for so long? The 255 seems to be a direct fit for GTT (I got no soldering iron)  
    • Normal speedtek issues, bin it and go cdoo# or 8hp. So many issues with these gearsets, a mate went through 3 rebuilds and multiple parts with heat, bearing and vibration issues.  
    • I wouldn't go near them, they are rubber seals for a reason. Just chuck new cam cover seals, half moons and the spacers for the screws every decade or two. I add a really thin layer of silicone too and it seems to hold together OK
