Here is a eBay auction for just the kit

Here's the manufacturer. Select Nissan, 240Z and the year in the selection window.

For a total of $78.95 and 2 hours time to install it this looks like a good deal. However if it is junk $78.95 and the 2 hours to install it will destroy the front crossmember and take a lot longer than 2 hours to fix.

I have no experience with these units however, they do look like a simple design. The one drawback I see is that if you change between one camber setting to another you have to drill a new hole for the position securing screw. Maybe some of the track guys have seen this style camber adjuster and can comment.

It looks like an improvement on the G Machine style eccentric adjuster in that it has a lockdown mechanism. In fact there was a post on classiczcars.com where a rally racer was describing an eccentric and this sounds a lot like his description. He was saying that camber plates aren't allowed by AU or NZ law (can't remember which country it was--sorry) but that this type of camber adjuster was.

 

I would prefer a camber plate up top as they are easier to adjust, and as always, eccentrics in the front mess with bumpsteer. There was another similar thread where a guy had redrilled his crossmember using JTRs 3/4" up 1/4" out suggestion and then was installing G Machine bushings. Unless everything is perfectly straight this seems counterproductive to me, because one camber adjuster is going to be at a different position than the other, so the bumpsteer will be different one side to the other.

 

It's a minor complaint though, and I do think it looks a lot better than the G Machine setup, and it could be used with rubber or poly bushings, so it has those things in its favor.
