Rusty front cambers?

[KOOLER]

Hi,

put my MY1995 R33 GT-R into AutoRobot to check chassis geometry. And it sucks Front cambers are rusty and are not located where they are expected to be... Did anybody try to replace them? Can I still order chassis parts from Nissan or should I go for some tuning?

Thanks!

Camberarms from Apex are 99£ pr. set (for R 32, dont know if they fit)...
or lower arms from drirtworks, gives mor precise turn-in also.

Well... That's my bad English. What's really a problem is suspension turrents (now I know the proper words). And I've found a few threads here describing what to do. Now looking for spare parts to replace my rusted to bits

RHD Japan have alot of spareparts.

If original parts cost the same as better aftermarket parts, go for aftermarket with possibilities to adjust camber !

For best traction and grip you want 3,5 degrees camber front, and 1,5 rear, don't remember caster... But you get the picture.

I did not find anybody selling "tuning" suspension turrets... Do you happen to have any links or at least some names? I'd really appreciate this!

There is no aftermarket part to replace the rusty suspension turrets. You'll have to cut away the rusty material on top, clean beneath and replace the top sheet metal with something from a donor car. Do some searching, it's a common problem and some have posted what they did.

I've already did the research and I know what to do Biggest problem is - my turrets are SO bad I need completely new ones. And I don't have donor car around b/c my R33 is the only one in my country

You can always get the complete sheet metal around the turrets from Nissan. But they're not cheap I think.
