Hey guys i've had these knuckles for a few years, they are a great improvement over the standard R32 knuckles, but i've moved on and now running a macpherson front end, so these knuckles don't fit any more. They were made my JDI fabrications and are bloody strong, at least as strong as standard, but probably more so. These also come with hubs so it saves you the effort of removing and refitting the hubs (absolute shitty job to do haha) and mean they can bolt straight on.

chasing $300 for the pair, can send them anywhere for about $30.

Any binding? What sort of rack changes are required just a spacer or??

Thanks.

Youll have to scallop your LCA before you run into to bind with these knuckles they are designed well and I can also back up there strong my car went into a tyre wall and bent the LCA and ikeya tie rod but knuckle no problem.

hey mate, with all knuckles they will bind at a point, i was running out of clearance with 60mm worth of spacers (17x8 -30) and 60mm longer LCA's by the time i was getting bind, but i was running a pretty shitty tie rod/rack setup which didn't help.

Rack mods?

ideally you use some rack spacers like the ones from Garage 7 / SMM, and that is really all you need. Garage 7 sell them for $150 i think off the top of my head, or you might be able to get some 2nd hand.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
