Hi Friend.

Kazama is high quality shit.

Take a look at the thickness and quality of the rose joints and the dust boots over the bearings, can't go wrong. How much are they going for?

I got my no name jap ones for nothing since I sold my stock rods for the same price :rofl:

Hey

Just wondering if anyone has used KAZAMA Tension-Caster Rod's in there R32, or any other Skyline for that matter?

I want to know if they are any good, and how they compare to CUSCO Tension-Caster Rod's.

Thanks,

Abu

They look nice. What are they made from steel or aluminium?

Hey man

Wanted to talk to you about it on MSN, but you were not on! lol

Yeah they seem good quality, and I should be able to get them at a good price, cheaper than CUSCO. ;)

They seem good quality, or just as good compared to the CUSCO ones.

they loook pretty good, but what does the bearing look like under the boot? the cusco ones are very, very nice.

Not to sure Richard, thats all the information I have.

I will try to translate it from the site, and get more pictures.

Yeah they do look nice, but the CUSCO's look equally as good I reckon.

They look like there good quality, but I don't care what they look like as I won't be able to see them. I want them to work well :(

Thanks for everyones input.

Has anyone got a set/been in a car that was running a set?

I've got them in my car, and they're a very nice bit of gear. Very happy with them, and never had a trouble.

They weren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Thanks for that man, pretty much just what I wanted to hear.

Will order a set tonight then :)

Any other feedback would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

Sorry to harp, but what are they made from steel/aluminium? I am after some aluminium ones.

the KAZAMA ones and URAS ones come off the same lproduction line (some of my kazama ones have come boxed inside URAS cartons and vice versa :)) and are ALUMINIUM, they feature high quality rose joints and a dust cover. Honestley they are very differrent to the shite that is often offered for sale around the place. I have a set in the street car and cats for 2 1/2 years now and have not had to change the rose joints at all.... (in fact i have not even serviced the street car ones) i would say they are every bit as good as cusco items.

Hahaha very interesting!

Didn't know KAZAMA and URAS where on the same production line, funny how they turn up in the wrong boxes ;)

Thanks for the info Trent. I was looking for someone's input/experience, KAZAMA in comparison to CUSCO.

Haven't read/seen any negative feed-back, so they seem to be a good choice.

Well order sent for the KAZAMA's, so hopefully should see them in a week or so :(

sre the tension the same between the 2wds, 4wds, Gtrs and GTST and 32s, 33s and 34s? How much to replcae the rose joint? Soz for hijacking this thread.

GTR and GTS4 are the same, not sure if thats for R32, R33 and R34, but I know thats the case for R32's.

R32 GTST, A31 and S13 are the same.

Not to sure about R33 and R34, but there different to the above.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
