  2. For sale are my set of 3UP 4537 Knuckles and modified Lower Control Arms for an ECR33 Nissan Skyline. The backstory first. I lived and worked in Japan for a number of years and liked my drifting. Wanting to focus on suspension mods over engine ones, and having modified everything else underbody I decided to get the knuckles/arms changed. By far the best and most popular way in Japan to do this on a R33 was to get modified items from 3UP. 3UP is a tuning shop located in Saitama prefecture and they specialise in performance parts for Nissans. They have a number of original parts that they have created for the R33, as they run a D1 Street legal R33 Skyline in which to do the R&D. Here is their demo car and a quick vid of it at Nikko http://www.e-3up.com/archives/category/democar Having imported my car to Australia and removed the good stuff for compliance, I haven’t got back into drifting and see no point in these parts sitting in my house collecting dust. Firstly the Knuckles. They are modified Nissan items designed to give the car a few more degrees steering angle over standard, specifically from 45 to the right, 37 to the left, hense the name. The quality of work on these are amazing; they almost look like they were cast steel. I can vouch for their effectiveness. I had these installed for the final 2 times I drifted in Japan and I went from running out of lock and spinning on Nikko’s famous first turn, to drifting at a greater angle or catching the f-ups without actually spinning. A very noticeable improvement. Now, its important to note that in order to fit and take advantage of the knuckles you do need some supporting hardware, and that’s where the lower control arms come in. They have had the original metal stopper removed and replaced with thick one set flush with the arm and have been boxed for greater rigidity. They are sturdy and are far stronger than you would expect and allow for more angle over the standard stopper. When increasing the steering angle on a car there are other considerations too. You will need to have longer tierods or tierod extenders as you will now be turning with the arms extended further. 3UP recommend Ikeya formula items for an S14 Silvia as being a direct fit solution, for example. In addition you will probably need offset tension rods so that your rim won’t hit them at its new, wider full lock. The kit has been designed by 3UP not to bind on full lock either, so it presents as a proven, reliable method to get more lock from your steering, and without the need to cut up or trade in your own original parts. Check the pics below, including the side-by-side shots of stock Vs 3UP parts. I’m selling these as a combined set due to the fact they are designed to work that way. All parts fit right up, no cutting etc required, and this means you can revert to standard anytime you want too. The parts are for sale pick up in Melbourne, unless you are willing to pay, in advance, the expected crap load it would cost to send anywhere. The knuckles, especially, weigh a ton. Email to [email protected] Parts come with the original Japanese instructions and shop stickers. These are rare-as, don't expect to see any others anytime soon. Price - $550 for the package.

  4. GKTECH V3 KNUCKLES G'day lads. At the moment I'm putting together an R32 street/tdori machine and am up to the knuckle part. Let me say I'm a fan of GKTech and the quality/price balance they work with, but on top of that the options for the R chassis are slim, so these seems like the top pick. I already have Silk Road camber arms set at 35mm shorter than stock, will be running R33 LCA's with a customised flat adjustable lock stop, Strongflex poly bushes and have extended tie rods and non-offset spacers to go in. Will be moving the rack forward 25mm as well. Currently rolling on +30 R33 GTR wheels but will be going to something in the +15 to +20 range soon. So, the question is - are they worth the extra cost? Obviously they're an upgrade compared to a modded stock knuckle. The unsprung weight advantage sounds great as well as the claimed linear feel, but considering I should be saving for Japan later this year they're hard to justify at something like twice the price of getting some modded locally. Can anyone comment on the driving feel?
  5. I'm doing a bit of a garage cleanout, to make room for more pressing things. Most parts are used, except for a set of front rotors. All parts to suit R33 GTS-T, though not 100% sure which series, though I'm thinking it's Series 1. The items and prices are as follows: Front hubs and knuckles. Pair - $250 4 piston front calipers. Pair - $180 2 piston rear calipers. 2 pairs - $150 per pair Rear hub and handbrake assembly. Pair - $250 Rear handbrake assembly with cables. Pair - $160 Front rotors used, still seem ok, with surface rust. Pair - $60 New DBA front rotors, vented and slotted. Never used, slight surface rust. Pair - $180 All prices are negotiable and open to correction. I've searched high and low for reasonable prices on all of these, but they all seem to contradict one another. So I've priced them in between and hopefully it's not too over the top, or I'm not ripping myself off. At this stage I'd prefer not to post anything, but if they sit around for too much longer I might consider it. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll return any emails or messages quickly. Thanks. (Sorry about the "Spoiler" stuff at the top, I have no idea how to delete them)
