Hi there, my first post on this site so be kind if I'm a bit vague

I have damaged a front lower control arm due to.. well we all know. I've been looking around for a set because i want to replace all of them or at least the fronts. I have read that drift works does the job but I have seen some other convincing brands I have a link to some which i think could be the goods but since I'm new to the skyline game some help/info would be appreciated

Heres a link and a pic of the ones im looking at

These Hardrace items from Just Jap seem to be OK gear. Get caster rods with either the hardest bushes possible or go for the rod/ball ended ones (I would go for the rod/ball ended ones, even though they're not street legal - they are much better to drive on).

Hardrace make adjustable control arms for the front and back of Skylines and you can have a choice of rod/ball ended or hard rubber bushes. For a streeter the rubber bushes are probably smarter. They are legal, for a start.

Other than that, I concur with Bob above, Cusco make good equipment. Tein also make good gear - I have Tein caster rods on my car. Formula Ikeya also make good gear but it tends towards the pricey end of the scale. Probably a good sign!

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
