Looking for: BCNR-33 Fronts Camber Arms

[eyong]

Too much camber ... and am considering alittle less control on the fronts ... :hmmmm:


Anyone?

 

[zephuros]

Cusco or Ikeya Formula.... also check condition of lower arm bush...

 

[eyong]

Thanks Z.

Yes, looking for anyone who may have a spare set of Cusco to let go. Ikeya new is kind of hefty. Bottom end bushes are pretty much ok. In fact, I had a pretty equal -2.5 deg on both sides although I am running quite alot (max) on the caster rods.

 

[zephuros]

wow... that's a lot of camber. You sure lower arms are ok? Should be 1.45º -ve camber.

I came across a set of adjustable D-max arms in Eneos... try there... they have both upper and lower but both are equally as expensive... ouch...

If you can't get a replacement arm then just replace the bushes.... nismo has all the parts

Upper Arm Inner 54541-RS590
Upper ARm Outer 54545-RS590

wauu...drifto godzilla...too much lower dwn i think~ ......then import a set for ur car,hehe.

 

[eyong]

That's what I had before at around -1.5 deg fronts. But had some work done to the bottom end such as caster rods, Ohlins etc ... and it turned out as -2.5 fronts, -1.5 rears ... :hmmmm: I suspect I may be running alittle too much caster instead but the last alignment shop I went to does not have caster read-out - so pathetic

Will definately source around locally or internationally for a set of front upper camber arms. Btw, do you remember how much Eneos are selling the upper arms for? Kira-kira?

 

[eyong]

wauu...drifto godzilla...too much lower dwn i think~ ......then import a set for ur car,hehe.

Hey, Bro. Not really lowered much .... Had between 3.5-4.0" clearance on the fronts on 265/35/18's ... Knew too much about over lowering are very bad, and BAD, for the lips and handling. Hehehehe ...

Well, thinking if there are some in MY I don't have to go international as yet. IF all else fails, I guess that would be the route

 

[zephuros]

eyong, the other thing you can try is the whiteline camber adjustment bush. They have a kit that retrofits into the standard upper arm. Go check it out on their website.

 

[eyong]

Thanks again, Z. I have heard of Whiteline "offset" bush. That's the "most-economical" option I guess. May have to go that route for a quick-fix rather than having my tires churned out on normal drives :rolleyes:

 

[zephuros]

Yea i think it would be the cheapest way to fix the problem. And the good thing is that it is PU so it should not deform as easily as the rubber ones...

 

[eyong]

That's exactly true. At least it's an opportunity to change the bushing as well. Will let this sit for a little while and see if anyone had any other offer

Go for Ikeya Formula if budget permits. Quality are much better.

Cusco are not fully adjustable, it comes with 4 preset adjustments.

D-Max have the front upperlink for R33/34? It's not listed in their catalogue.

 

[zephuros]

oops, perhaps i'm mistaken about the upper arms... my mistake. :)

MrNismo, where can i find the D-Max catalog online?

Yeah, Ikeya would be ideal compared to Cusco. Am not sure myself about D-max, was hoping if they may make it

In fact, like Z, would like to see what D-max makes too ...

D-Max caters more for the mid-end drifting goodies, unlike Ikeya, which are top-of-the-line stuff.

 

[zephuros]

Thanks for the link Mr Nismo..

 

[eyong]

I am still trying to find the front upper arms ... :hmmmm:

Anyone got some good lead to where or who available. I am not fuss if it's used Cusco, D-max or taiwan stuff. But definately not considering Ikeya for the price they are asking ... *phew*

eyong, I've been looking for the R33/34 (GTSt tho) upper front arm for some time now. If you find a stock pile of supply pls post it up k :-D

Next best bet it to purchase from japan auction. or but another stock one and mod it (looks simple probably a nightmare to design)

Tell me about it ... I know in Aust and UK has a whole bunch of aftermarkets but shipping would be a bitch, unless you are willing to pay in the region of RM300 for shipping. Disregarding, you will be paying around 1k for a used item. I have seen a used Cusco for about 1.2k unless you are up for it. Only thing with that is, it has increment of approx. 1 deg with no minor adjustment.

I have a spare oem arms which I think should not be a problem to modify an adjuster to it (don't think I want to follow Cusco design which is quite EASY though). Just gonna take me time to design, and find the right material to do it which I don't have.

I wonder why there are so many aftermarket rear camber arms (and so cheap too) but no one makes the fronts for those prices :hmmmm:
