Hi people.....This week i will have finished a set of front upper arms......These will give you a variable camber adjustment.....i would like to see who would be interested in such a thing.....i havent worked out a fixed price yet although theres quite a bit of work in these so i wont be giving them away......If theres enough interest i will do the sums and let you guys know.....there will be a percentage that will be donated to SAU for all sales made........ but those that will be interested should know the going cost on these ...not to mention the importance of trying to save those expensive tyres on track days!

Thanks

after pricing up what it will cost to make the arms properly i dont think its viable to make them on a large scale and sell them ....theres just not enought interest not to mention theres most likely an offset bush thats available to give you more camber but none adjustable....i will still be making them...but most likely just for my own use...profile cutting,pipe bending,bush's,powder coating,plus the materials,my fabrication time and a donation to the club brings the cost to $450 a pair....something i think people will not pay

ok guys...heres how we make things.....First we make a jig for the item.....This ensures all our parts fit and are exactly the same......we make a shaft up for all the mounting points then eitheir drill a hole and bolt the material to the jig during the manufacturing process or make it a nice slide on slide off fit.....where the bush's fit on the arms i have machined down a peice of pipe the exact bush and on the bolt end i got a peice of solid bar and drilled a 12mm bolt hole through it(this is the size of the bolt on the outer side)As you can see we have all our mounting points covered.......As you can see we then remove the bolt then product can then be swung away and lifted off the jig........This jig has been made double sided.....the rear of the jig is used for left arms and the front is used for right.....It always pay to have a bit of a think before starting to make the jig :( we then fabricate the product around this jig.....i will post the units being made if people are interested

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
