Cheapest and nicest way to get adjustable camber on your Skyline is with adjustable upper control arm bushes. You can use one on the outer arm only to get up to 2 deg neg camber. If you want to go really hard core then you can also use the same adjustable bush on the inner arm for over 3deg neg camber.

Ppl like Whiteline, Noltec and Nolathane make these bushes. The Whiteline ones are better then the Nolathane ones as the grease nipples in them are better designed...havent tried the Noltec so cant really comment.

Or you can go and try adjustable arms from the likes of Cusco, JIC etc. They are more expensive and wear quicker, and i suppose in theory increase NVH a little. They are a better solution if you want the top kit, but for a road car the bushes offer a nicer compromise.

Thanks Troy, so i just call up Whiteline and ask for R32gtr adjustable upper control arm bushes? Reason is i'm suffering from wearing from the inside tyres at the front. Any contract numbers by anychances?

Whiteline arent selling direct to the public anymore...but Autobarn are now dealers for them.

You may be able to buy off the Whiteline webiste ...https://www.whiteline.com.au/store

or just give Autobarn a call and quote the part numbers:

Front camber kit - KCA336

Adjusts camber +/-1.0 deg. But the std Nissan gear, combined with when the car is lowered give you the ability for about -2.0 deg neg, or as little as -1.0neg if thats what you want. They go afor about $320

Rear camber kit - KCA347

Adjusts camber +/-0.75deg. Need 2 kits/pairs for 1.5deg if used for the inner and the outer bush. About $150 a pair

For Whitelien gear just have a look at ... http://www.whiteline.com.au/docs/fact_shee...line_R32GTr.PDF

Can i use the front only without worry about the rear yet as i havn't had any problem with it?

Yeh no drama at all.

In case you havent already tried, just make sure that this is the fix to your problem. If your car is pretty much the std ride height, and the front bushes are in fair condition, then it could be a toe/alignment issue...in which case the adjustable bushes will be an expensive fix

Well my car is lowred but not thing much ( VIC ) so it could be toe in/out, any recomend places for a REAL aligment? I've been to tyre power in morrabin before and they're just not helping my car all.

You still use your old number Troy? Oh are you in Melb first?

Thanks Inasnt, i'll let you know as soon as i find out what the problem is.

Cheers

I have Camber tops on my car, haven't messed around with it though.
Skylines have a double wishbone setup mate so won't adjust anything except the angle of the shock. It is for adjusting the camber on Mcpherson strut cars which is what's in the Silvia platform. Leave any playing to the suspension shop.

    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!
    • So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.
    • Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.
    • You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
    • Do some wool fluff testing on the vents
