I had SRI red rear upper arms in my car, which were squeaking after 6 months. Replaced with GKTech arms. It's been over 3 months now without a noise from them.No, it means you get two pieces (two arms).

I chucked these it the rear as i broke an ISC arm not too far from Just Jap so it was side of the road replacement duties lol

I am running the traction rods and so car not a noise to be heard, these would have done over 6mths work now!

changed all the arms in my S13 to the kazama ones, even changed a second set. creaking noises came after 3 months. removed dust boot and regreased the entire joint. no noise... then creaking noises came back after 1 month or so. So i figured it was the rose joints... Friend had ikeya formula ones on his S15.... same issue after couple of months.

That's a surprise as Kazama arms are made by Cusco so they are quality arms in all accounts, did you and your friend buy brand new?

Anyone running Hardrace front upper arms for BNR32/Z32? I'm guessing they fit the non-GT-R R32s as well.

I want to know if they're rubber or spherical like the rest of the arms.

There's no way to use spherical joints in R32 front uppers. Remember, the bush is about 125mm long on those things. The two sorts are proper bushed (either rubber like Nismo/OEM or poly) and the ones that have metal bearings in them. But these are rolling element type bearings, not pillowballs.

Whoops, my bad.

Yeah them metal rolling ones are flogged out on the arms on the car. I might as well splash out on those Kakimoto ones. I run about -2.5º front camber anyway. Nismo arms aren't short enough unfortunately (haven't even put them on yet).

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
