its very expensive and personally I would not go that route, I use JDI knuckles in my r33 drift car and they will only cost about 220 if u supply ur own knuckles for them to modified and they are very strong not one has broken to date or if you dont want to go down the cut shut path you can buy the driftworks knuckles for r33 which is basically a full steel knuckle but again proce is aorund 6-700 mark but atleast its a full knuckle not a bolt on kit.

My friend is using them up here in darwin on his 32 drift car (the one that is in the photos of garage 7's page).

He has no issues with them yet, and get some serious angle.

If you want i can out you in touch with him

Its expensive cause its all made from quality gear. Keep in mind that you get new tie rods and ends with it. It increases your track and camber also as well as increasing lock and improving roll Centre. So you can't compare them to cut and shuts.

I've driven the development car with these knuckles and its unreal also

Hi there , This setup seems quite expensive , and also i think it may adjust the suspension geometry of the car , im not sure if that would make it better or worse to drive though... it seems that there may be slight steering bind at full lock too. another way to go about it is the cut n welded knuckles. for my C33 i got my knuckles cut and welded with the correct settings for the aikerman angle i wanted , and also got them crack tested. so far they seem great , a few other mods to get more lock are , Longer rack ends , Steering rack moved fowards , extended steering shaft with solid bush (for better feel through the steering) and extended LCA's. there is slight bind on full lock but nothing to durastic. on r32's you should extend your LCA's 15mm so that when you are on lock (or close to it) your wheel with weight on it has more contact with the tarmac. hope this helps :)

    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
