hey guys is ther any way of useing the stock wishbones to give me camber or do i have to go n buy adjustable ones

In short, no.

There is a degree of adjustability already available (out to about 1.25 degrees negative), however camber adjustment beyond the factory ranges is usually done using offset bushes rather than the actual wishbones. Try Whiteline suspensions.

mine has just lowered springs and the camber is noticeably negative. when taking off hard two very thin marks imprint onto the road and visually you can see the difference! i am not sure if there is any handling difference.

There are standard rear camber adjusters on R32/33/34 models on the inner mount of the upper control arm. This is a picture of an R33/Stagea one;

This is from the rear, you can just see the adjuster bolt up near the fuel tank;

Just make sure it is set to the minimum negative camber setting ie; the longest distance between the mount and the wheel. If it is and you still have more than 0.5 to 1.0 degrees negative then you need to get a set of adjustable camber bushes. Refer to the Whiteline/ Bilstein Group Buy thread for your particular model for more details (including prices).

:) cheers ;)

    • I have done smoke test and can’t see any leak on high or low side.   checked pump and fluid can flow through. Removed the high pressure from steering and did smoke test and same on low side, no leak.   puzzled. Thinking why if it was all ok it suddenly went as car was off road for a year. Don’t want to disassemble pump yet as i can see fluid / air( compressor) can flow through with no issues
    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
