ZSS Racing

Hey all,

Looking at buying some upper camber arms for my R34 soon and was wondering if anyone's had any experience with ZSS Racing. They seem to be an Australian based company and offer free shipping within Aus, so they work out at around $475 for a set of front uppers (for context the same parts from Cusco are $400 including shipping). I've heard Japan is the way to go for parts, but if anyone can give me some good feedback on these guys I'd be inclined to consider them (they offer some pretty solid package deals). If not I'll either go Cusco or Sun Line.

Cheers

Hi DieselTime 

The ZSS brand is sold through Just Jap in Kirrawee they are the Australian distribute for this brand . I have personally had this brand of arms in my car and never had any issues. I also know of plenty of other guys running these arms in not only street cars but full built race cars and have had no issues .

I have a friend who works at JustJap. They are selling all their hardrace to make way for ZSS and he said they are made in the same factory. I bought some adjustable caster arms and some rear camber arms (all hardened rubber) through him/JJR and haven't had any issues. The arms are solid bits of kit and my aligner had no issues getting them dialed in.

Rather than start a new thread... 

I have both ZSS rear traction rods and camber arms (hardened rubber) on the 34. Anyone got their own stories/feedback on them? I've only had them on for a month or so now.

Looks identical to Hardrace except colour and logo. Website doesn't say whether it comes with rubber bushes.

It's impossible to find the bushings on their own, at least rubber ones. Where can I find these? I've scoured the entire internet and only option seems to be to buy the entire arm, which I'd rather not. But I can find every other bushing for my car which makes no sense lol. I'm ideally trying to replace the bushings on my stock upper control arm / camber arm.

Why? They're not going to wear out before the rest of the car does. And if they do manage to do so, just....buy something with sphericals.

sphierical are off road use only in Australia

Not for upper inner control arm bushings, not listed anywhere except for superpro polyurthene but that's pretty much the only listing I found and some website I think in Siberia. Nismo doesn't have them either. I checked, I don't think there is even a nissan part number for it because the diagram only shows the control arm, the bolts but not the bushings.

Waste of money, I don't want to spend $500 if all I need to do is replace the bushings. It's unnecessary. In my case if they are worn, they have worn out before the rest of the car?

I just had a look at the Nismo one, is that actually for inner upper bushings? For the "- Nissan R34 Skyline Hicas 4WS
(Rear Upper Hubs x 4, Camber Arms x 2 & Traction Arms x 2 = 8pce)" it says camber arms x2, but my car is a 2ws, I assume the 4ws is gtr?

Are the bushings you're asking about here stock elastomeric-squishy-juice ones?  Why would you want them?

Don't be dense. I'm talking about a car that is at least 25 years old now and will not be around in another 25 years. And if the arms/bushes that you put in now last only 10 years (instead of the likely 20+), it is so far into the dim and distant future that it is not a problem that you need to concern yourself with right now, no matter how poor that you feel. It is a problem for future silviaz.

You say that as if it really matters. I have made the decision to use them in strategic places in my car because R32 FUCAs are a shit design and really need the added flexibility made possible by spherical bearings, and because they are simply excellent in front caster arms, and neither are easily seen on a roadside inspection.

Besides which, you can get them engineered, which I will do if I am ever pushed into a corner.

Yeah looking for stock rubber type ones because from my understanding the polyurethane are more prone to breaking and will make my ride stiffer. Not trying to be dense, seems you're looking into it quite long term, I'm not looking that far out.

Oh wow, you're a absolute legend then, cheers for that! Can't believe it was just there. I literally looked everywhere even called Justjap and said they didn't have it lol, but guess it makes sense as it's a bit hidden on the website.

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
