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

Or ring a Noltec distributer for price checks

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.

    • Might piggy back off this thread since there's been a good discussion about PWM.   I purchased a Walbro 460 F90000267 and have been looking into PWM to understand it. It was purchased more of a future proof as my original OEM fuel pump died (r33 below 200kw) and figured I'd just upgrade it to this. That's when it hit me that a pump this big can cause more dramas with such high amperage draw and heating of the fuel pump being on 100% all the time in such a mild setup.   I have a Nexus R3 and slowly collecting power mods but I was looking into the PWM feature on the NSP software:   Then looking at the graph from the fuel pump:     Am I safe to assume reducing duty cycle to 50% for example would make the pump run like a 230/lph ? Where does the PWM come in all of this ?   I've gone down the rabbit hole of PWM fuel pumps and it seems there are many differing opinions on how to go about it 😅  
    • Thank you, this will keep me busy for a bit.  I will update progression.
    • That specific one would be an exchange part, meaning I'd have to send mine to them. Plus it looks like a non AWD sump, which won't work for me. There is one or two shops in my country that I can ask to do a sump extension job and it'd most likely end up being cheaper than sending mine to AUS or NZ and getting one back, and quicker too.
    • Rear turbo is leaky, most likely at the oil drain. From what I could see with my boroscope it seemed to have seeped out at the very top of that return hose. Is it possible that the oil climbs up that hose to then leak out? Yup, coolant leak on the hot side of the engine, only noticed after seeing clear rusty residue in the block right from the turbo oil feed downwards to the pan, and red droplets hanging from the pan. No clear sign yet from where it comes, and most of the lines there are hardlines right? Last year, seeing those red drops, I thought it was power steering, will be glad if that is not leaky at least. Another leaking hose I found by chance is the lower of the two heater core hoses coming from the firewall to the back of the head. That one is not too bad to get to if I have to replace.
    • I think for response I'm already kind of out there no? he -5s are not the best pick for that as the Internet tells me. Maybe I should switch to -7s while I still can? Though that almost definitely warrants an engine pull along with the other issues I have.
