if you have ever made the mistake of buying cheap parts with cheap rose joints that f##k out after 5-10,000kms and get really sloppy and noisy, you would value quality, and not buy cheap crap.

Having said that i do not know the quality of Just Jap Suspension parts.

they are more than likely locally made with some parts being cheap taiwan/chinese stuff.

FWIW i bought a paid of rear camber arms from Just Jap, installed them, drove round the block then jacked car up again to retension all fittings and i noticed not one but both arms had cracked in crutial points in their welds...

Horrible products and even worse customer service... i got my money back in the end but not after being labled "an arsehole customer" and a hell of a wait.

i for one wont ever EVER recommend them

Dont skimp on suspension bits. If a stock arm can fail, I have no doubt that a cheap aftermarket arm can fail. If you're doing pretty high speeds on a track, your suspension is definitely something that you dont want to fail... :)

I can also back the SK groupbuy stuff. The shocks are amazing and they work incredibly well with the other things. If there was anything I was to recommend, it would be the SK groupbuy.

So you have had stock arms fail too? MY rear upper arms yielded around the bush. Giving me interesting geometry and causing the wheel to rub.

Scary thing is i didnt really notice to drive the car except i heard the rubbing. When i got to where i was going i checked it and saw the arm giving way. Good thing it happened when it did as the next day i was going to a Motoconcepts Eastern Creek day.

So late night by BD4s replacing the arm and welding gussets to both left and right arms to stop it from happening to my current set.

So std or aftermarket it can happen.

So rather then just right off one option, i woudl firstly ask what you are hoping to get from putting in susp stuff? You want it to feel nicer on the road. You want it to handle better? You wantt o fix an alignment issue sinc eyou have lowered the car? You want to track it ???

looking for tie rod ends, small rubber boot has split and also need the bushes on the swaybar mounts. the mounts/links on the end of the swaybar are also looking pretty dodgy, gotta chang it.

the other thing they had was engine damper kits.

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
