Hey people
Found out something intersting today. I had to replace the bushes and balljoints on both my front lower arms today, and no one sells gtir lower arms (apart from nissan ex japan $$$$) got told that 2wd pulsar arms are like NZ$110 each with bushes and ball joints which actually works out cheaper. Now I happened to have access to some N15 2wd front arms and have found that the n15's are just the same except the rear bush which you need to purchase either a 4wd N15 bush or GTIR bush and swap the 2wd n15 rear bush over. The ball joint sits out a few mm further. which will push the bottom of the wheel out a little more and pull the top in (ie negative camber) Now I havent had an alignment done yet but it has more negative camber for sure. would say between 1/2 a degree to 1 degree. Total cost per arm including new GTIR rear bushes was NZ$150 (around about 50 pounds per arm)
Im not sure if this has ever been mentioned before but there ya go. ask any questions
