OK I'll try and show off my paint brush skillz

The first pic shows maximum caster, the second is minimum caster.  As you can see moving the mounting point in the bush changes the length of the caster rod.

Yes, I understand all that. And I reckon the max / min is the other way round?!
The bolt and tube have splines that lock the together, you may even need some gentle bashing since the bolt is so tight in the tube.

Once its in the bold and tube are locked together.  Turning the bolt turns the tube in the tube in the bush.

You use a lock nut over the normal but to keep the caster in the set location.

No it doesn't. The hole is a clear hole, with no threads or anything. The bolt simply passes through and out the other side, and a nut screws on to lock it all tight.

Maybe, as with the camber kit, Whiteline has redesigned the method of adjustment of the castor bushes. But there is no way mine works the way you have described, Duncan. The kit I have is simply 2 urethane bushes and 2 steel rods with off-centre bolt-holes through them. There is no castor bush bolt.

Anyone know which way it is?

Gotta install these today and I just want to set them to max before I take it in for an alignment next week.

The objective is to pull the wheel forward for more positive caster. So the eccentric should be set for (effectively) shortening the radius rod.

:rofl: cheers :rofl:

It's their KCA332 kit. It consists of 2 urethane bushes and 2 steel crush tubes, with an eccentric (off-centre) bolt-hole through the tube.

If you go into their webstore and search for the kit, there is a (small) picture of the components.

(A search for KCA331 will show an assembled kit)

      Auto Electrician Workshop Recommendation for Reverse Camera Not Working CKV36 (SYD or WOL)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?

      Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.

      to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it

      A31 Digital Climate Control

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
