Hey all, just about to order front upper arms for the track car, but have found two different designs by Ikeya Formula.

Trying to figure out which type would be better for track use, the car is not registered and is a track only car, so as much adjustment into the negative would be desired.

Can purchase both designs but wondering which one to go for.... any info/advice?

thanks.

Buy neither.

None of the Ikeya ones is as good as the ones UAS have just finished making.

JP's will be cheaper and better. I suggest you call and ask John about them.

The rear lower arms are very good from Ikeya but are very expensive.

how are they better than the Ikeya Formula arms?

Ikeya Formula front upper arms are not very expensive, cheaper than the arms from UAS ( http://www.nismo.com.au/pricelists/General...asbbtoparms.jpg )

They where not the arms I was talking about. But then misread your post that you had an R33. His new arms are for R32 and Z32. Sorry.

The set in the first pic are actually a bushed set (nolathane bushes but still fully adjustable).

The set in the second pic are fully rose jointed and have more adjustment and would definatlet be the ones to go for if your car is track only.

I have these in myR33 track car and they are the best money can buy you wont be disapointed..

  • 5 weeks later...
  • 2 months later...

quick question then.

if we start using the lower adjustable arm(if we had one), to adjust camber, pulling he wheel further out, wont this stress the driveshaft too much? or should we go custom¿ and spacer on the bolted one?

ps: forgot to say thanks to your pm duncan. will post you some pics of what im doing, got an ex prodrive engineer to help me out :nyaanyaa:

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
