noltec sell an adjustable upper arm that uses poly bushes. Tuneagent sells a pillow ball type. Ikeya formula is the only adjustable lower arm one i have seen, and there are quite a few tie rod extensions available, also from tuneagent i think.

Have the ikeya formula gear in stock, adjustable lower control arms, upper control arms, everything you'll need champ.

From memory the rod ends are 435ish bucks, the lower control arms 800 and the uppers around 150 too... thats rough, the exact prices are on there :D

If your keen, wouldnt mind organising a group buy on this gear, as im keen to get it all sussed out for mine too, I might shoot off a few emails see if I can work something out.

depending on how much cash you have available. Tie rod ends with the spacers are the most important thing to get to increase steering lock

Some more camber will help, I suggest you go for the some Noltec or Whiteline camber bushes, or the camber arms.

drift wise...

-do you have aftermarket castor rods and running at least 8 degrees positive castor?

-a little bit of toe-out can also help

-aftermarket control arms are an expensive option, this would be one of the last drift-related mods i'd consider.

What driveline & suspension mods do you have already?

do you have a mech diff / welded? hicas lock? castor rods? coilovers? stabiliser bars?

those are some things to look at before getting aftermarket control arms

Hey Merlin.

drift wise...

-do you have aftermarket castor rods and running at least 8 degrees positive castor? Yep

-a little bit of toe-out can also help Havent tried this yet to me it seems like a bandaid solution.

-aftermarket control arms are an expensive option, this would be one of the last drift-related mods i'd consider. To me it seems like i wouldnt be able to take full adv of the increased steering travel with the standard lower control arms

What driveline & suspension mods do you have already?

do you have a mech diff / welded? yes welded hicas lock? yes castor rods? yes coilovers? yes stabiliser bars? yes strut and sway.

those are some things to look at before getting aftermarket control arms

really dont wanna spend over 1000 but i dont know how realistic that is specially if i want to include upper arm to have camber adj.

anyway cheers for your help.

Andrew

btw Do you get out there and drift much keen to see more 32's out there.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
