With spring around the corner it feels time to list my 3UP 4537 Knuckles and LCAs for sale.

I bought these when I was living in Japan and drifting and if you had an R33, these were the only option. Luckily they also happen to be an awesome option. They are crafted by the boss of the 3UP Workshop and are so well made that to look at them you wouldn't even know they were modified.

The Garage, 3UP is a small one located in Saitama, Japan, but they are passionate about their Nissans and have even run a car in D1 Street legal (see pics)

The name 4537 comes from the fact that they have been modified to turn the steering angle 45 deg to the right, 37 to the left, which is a crucial few degrees over standard, and more than enough to make a big difference when drifting. I went from spinning half the time at Nikko's first corner to being able to hold it and some dignity. Someone with proper drifting skills would be able to really play around with the car.

When swapping out knuckles you also need the supporting hardware, and that's where the Lower Control Arms come in. They have had thee stopper removed and a stronger plate set back on the arm welded in its place. Its also been boxed for extra rigidity.

The other things you need (not included with these parts) are longer tierods to account for the extended reach of the steering. 3UP recommend fitting the Ikeya Formula parts for an s14 Silvia as being a direct fit for this, but there would be a variety of solutions to this.

You may also need offset tension rods to account for the wheels turning further than standard, these are also commonly available.

This kit has been designed by 3UP not to bind and to provide greater lock for drifters. Its a high quality kit and the best part is, by being a direct fit you can keep your standard parts and fit them back anytime you want.

Items are located in Melbourne and I would prefer local pick up, but will send at buyers expense. They are, in fact, boxed up and ready to go and come with instructions in Japanese and shop stickers. Good value at $550 and these parts are rare-as; don't expect to see any others coming for sale for a long time. Best to email - [email protected] as Im not always on SAU. Thanks.

Couldn't say right now as Id have to work out a fair split of knuckles Vs LCA. LCAs would be the much cheaper of the 2 though, comparatively. PM me if seriously considering

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
