Sorry, just stumbled across this thread late - from reading the above posts I am assuming that using the 280ZX steering arms would also bolt up to an otherwise stock Bluebird, and would still give the increase in camber? (using the corect shear/spacer rings) Are the ZX arms any shorter than the Buey ones at all? Does it help/decrease the 4.1 turns from lock-to-lock as well? |

They are about the same length, but have a different ball joint angle, more inner offset of the ball joint, and a different shaped cure in the arm where the tie rods connect which is easily adjusted. I havent noticed a decrease in lock to lock.
Just a photo of the Car!!!

sort of off topic, but is that VHT caliper paint? Looks bloody nice!

Hi mate, Did you have to grind a small part of the caliper to make room for the datsport caliper dog bone mounting brackets? I'm trying to fit mine up but the bracket is fouling with the caliper  If you could guide me in the right direction that would be great Ian |

Hi mate,
I done the conversion on my 1600 and had to trim the caliper and the r31 strut were the bracket bolts up

Thanks mate, i also spoke with Baz from datsport and got a die grinder and sorted them out. They fit nicely now. My car is a trx so disc on the rear, do you know how the brake master cylinder will be with the r32 calipers up front? Will it be sufficient do you know? |

I run a small can 180b booster and a 7/8th master and still have drums on the back and it pulls up very well |
