I have already spoken to Hornet about this. I'm keen for a group buy if there's enough interest. I'm not in a rush so I was hoping GKTech would come out with their version sooner or later.

GkTech 'design' doesn't fit z32 & I'm not super thrilled with some of their feedback I've seen.

Member Boosted Zed is actually John, the owner of UAS & I know another member (fatz?) has run a group buy in the past

Where did you see feedback/info about the GKtech UCA's?

Nothing on the uca's obviously because they haven't built them, that said the design won't fit on a z32 in it's current form. Feedback relates to other suspension arms that 300 members have purchased & the overall quality they found. Then there's the fact that a lot of their parts labelled as fitting z32 don't actually fit on a z32...

I've purchased SPL arms for all my other adjustable arms & while they cost more the quality is fantastic, my only remaining issue is the fuca's which are currently just generic midori style arms. It doesn't look like SPL's will come to market anytime soon so I'll be going UAS when I get the chance.

GKTech are designing something.

In the meantime, Hardrace seem to be pretty decent. I have SRI (red ones) from JustJap, they've been working fine for a couple of years.

niZmO_Man to the rescue!! Came through with a set of Hardrace arms for me. Legend!

Thanks for all the input guys. I think I will still see what GKTech come out with, and/or go with UAS option in the long run, but these will certainly get me out of the tricky spot I am in.

Get some pics up of the broken arm.

Will do - I put the new ones in on Tuesday... took me longer than I thought it would, but all good now. The clunking/groaning/knocking sound I have become accustomed to has stopped which is good, and the front actually feels a bit tighter. I will take a pic of the old busted one when I get home.

A little hard to see in the picture, but the thread is stripped and the threaded part is actually cracked right through. The threaded section just slides in and out lol... so glad it finally let go on the driveway, and not on either the skidpan, or the freeway on the way home.

Same style as the ones I just took off the car - Hopefully yours are better quality than mine were!

How much castor were you running when that happened?

They look a lot like the ones i have, and are still going well after many years. My ones were from Notlec, who later went out of business. Other Noltec stuff was shit - radius rod bushes from them fell apart. Superpro replacement rod bushes are going well.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
