Rear Heavy Duty Ball Link, Adjustable. KLC141; RRP $175. Group Buy price; $120

Delivery is not included in this price, and rather than quote a "one size fits all" cost, contact me with your postcode for an accurate shipping cost.

As I live in Faulconbridge (Blue Mountains, NSW), all those wishing to come to me are welcome; otherwise I am happy to travel a reasonable distance in the Sydney area to deliver at no cost!

When making a payment, please use your forum user name as a reference, so I can confirm payments. Also, feel free to PM once you've deposited, so I know to look out for your payment!

Do i need the Duty Ball Link's if I buy the sway bars? or can i just replace the stock sway bars with these. Or is it recommended to install the Duty Ball Link's if you change the sway bars. Im not very sharp on the Suspension of cars, anyone able to help out letting me know what the Duty Ball Link's exactly do.

Ball links are not a compulsory upgrade, but given the age of your vehicle, the OEM links will have some wear and the Whiteline links are much larger (the ball joint is more than twice the size) and stronger than OEM.

Pics for comparison;

I noticed a difference in the rear links even on Standard Sway Bars (the Stagea uses the same rear links). Removed the slack and float on initial turn in from the Std suspension (due to the slack & looseness present in the tiny ball joints of my OEM links), and just got better with uprated bars. At this price it's a great opportunity, but entirely up to the individual.

Hope this helps, Dale.

Guys, after all the PM's and requests I received in the lead up, very few people seem to be interested, now I have organised this Group Buy.

If anyone has issues or concerns of any kind, with regard to the security of payments, or my own credentials; feel free to contact me and I will answer any questions or concerns you may have.

It would be great to see you guys get involved with this Group buy.:thumbsup:

Cheers, Dale.

Great stuff!:thumbsup: Thanks for your support! Come on you guys, lets have a few more!

Cheers, Dale.

Paid =D

Nice!:thumbsup:

Because your supplying the parts you will just be paying for labour. So it depends on what the mechanic wants to charge you. i wouldn't pay anything $100+.

I'm with you on this; 2hours work absolute TOPS! I did mine on a set of ramps in just over an hour; the wheels don't even need to come off.

If you're Sydney based; I can help you with this.:thumbsup:

all Paid woohoo!! bring on the sways...cant wait to get em installed

Good job mate!:worship:

Thanks for the support guys, lets get a couple more; then I can get ordering!

Cheers, Dale.

Thinking! Dammit... Its coilovers or this. Not both.

get these, i have coilovers and they always stay the same price, there is never specials allowed with bc racing.. get these now with massive discount and if you feel its not enough you can always get coilovers later once you forget about the money u spent on sways!

by the way, your looking at 1200 or 1300 for coilovers

install $ i did myself

set up money $250 including a $60 4 wheel alignment

I didnt have to spend money for camber kit as my camber was fine without them but if u do thats another $500

You will get as much from the sways i have been told, you can always get a 2nd hand coilover kit if you watch ebay or on here but a killer deal like this will prob not come again..

Get on this.:nyaanyaa: (No bias)

BC's don't vary in price; it'll be a while before you can get this price again. These will make a bigger difference to the handling of your car than coilovers will.

Thanks for the payments guys; you know who you are.:thumbsup: You all have PM's

Let's get a couple more, then i can place the order. The sooner we have 5; the sooner I can order; the sooner you can have your bars.:whistling:

Cheers, Dale.

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
