Front Suspentions Monds Lca's /tierod Ends / Caster Rods


Recommended Posts

Hey guys i am modding lca's and other suspention components

for greater lock or wide wheel aplications

this is what im doing if your interested give me a bell ( this really is just to have fun so i can practise more and more i have already done 3 cars and we also had a ago at strenth testing them )

Parts are done by a combo of tig welds and mig welds

Hi guys

All products are modified from your own Factory Parts

Nissan Type Lower control arms ( lca's )

Extended +10mm or +20mm

$100 For a pair ( swap over ) 80 for sau members

For

s13/s14/s15

r32/r33/r34

Am able to do more models

Call for quote

Tie rod end extension

+10mm or +20mm

$40 Swap over $30 for sau members

For

s13/s14/s15

r32/r33/r34

Am able to do more models

Call for quote

All parts Arm welded by a professional

And will be stronger than there were before they were modified

What we do?

WE cut the lower control arm and extend it by welding in a piece of metal in its place we extend it by the amount that you have asked

Why we do this

We do this to bring out the wheel so we can put wider wheels on the car without hitting the wheel tubs

to get more camber

to clear tubs so you can run more wheel lock ( for drifting )

i am happy to answer as many questions as you like

i also have some photos if you would like to see some of the arms so you get a good idea what we do

and all my work i have done on my own car so you can come down and see how it works and what it will do for you

the process will take between 1-3 days

(work includes weekends or weekdays)

located in vic but can work out shipping

your pretty much correct risking

i extend them by welding a peice of metal inbetween

then i also tig weld a bottom plate on the lower controll arm for extra stregth

if anyone has any questions at all feel free to ask :)

I have a question.

What do you do about the bump steer issue created

What do you do about the roll center stuff up it causes

What do you do about the appualing scrub radius

Or is it irrelevant cause the wider arms make it handle better......

That's three questions. :P

You'd probably strangle me Brad if you saw what I've done for suspension arm work on my buggy.

I'm redoing them and want to do it at least vaguely properly. Was seriously strapped for time when I bodged up the current ones. When I get around to it in a few months I'll post up a thread asking for advice I think.

Dont drive over bumps

cut the springs

Put the tyres on the back when they are scrubbed and do burnouts

Correct

What do you do about the bump steer issue created

Bump steer is created for alot of reason's But! 10 mm or 20mm out is not enough to affect this

What do you do about the roll centre stuff up it causes

Yes roll centre will be affected but by a amount that willbe hard to measure...

thats like saying people that run wheel spacers OR!! offsetwheels are doing this.........

What do you do about the appualing scrub radius

Ok so at 20mm You will not get scrub... If you had spacersand lca and camber arms then yes you would

But i also have a guard roller you can use

Or is it irrelevant cause the wider arms make it handlebetter......

All mods dont give you a better result but allows you To dothings to give you a improvement (ex: installing wider wheels )

E.g i put a high flow fuel pump in the car do i get morepower?

NO! But!! i am ableto tune in more power or wind up boost without leaning out...

Anyone that questions this ask me more questions im happy toexplain

I'd like to know more.

Can you explain exactly how lengthening tie rods/ control arms only provides a negligible change to bump steer and the roll center?

Do you know what a scrub radius is?? I don't mean the tire scrubbing on the guard....

ok mate this is how i see it

this mod is meant for a cretin application

For me this was drift

he arms Are extremely Strong and safe

and I have used them for the reason to bring out the wheel So i clear wheel tubs

I am Just trying to Help Fellow drifters To get Where i have

...

instead of feeling like im stealing from you. you could have pm'ed me about what you do and i could have promoted what you do To All the sites i drift

but when i needed these mods done i couldn't find anyone that would do it.

im not looking to make money I have a day job for that

  • 2 weeks later...

Thats great amount of lock abe, what have you modified for that much lock? Im trying to get more lock on my 33 but at the moment just have the spacers in there and the r33 rack only goes lets a 4mm spacer slide in, whats the next step I have to take?

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
