Hey mate,

I have this package fitted to my v36.

The only issue I had was with the traction arms. I have the 4WAS version which use a longer mounting post on the subframe. I rectified this by adding in a spacer.

 

I recommend buying the lock out bolts too and changing them while you're under there.

Any other questions let me know.

Hey, I know its been a while since the last post but was wondering if I could get your thoughts on how the GKTech suspensions arms have been holding up?

Currently looking for control arms to fit my 08 coupe, but the only available options without importing seems to be GKTech or SPL.

Even though SPLs are highly regarded, its a bit hard to justify spending $3k+ for FUCAs, rear traction arms, and rear camber arms, when the car won't be driven on track any time soon.

GKTech's products seem very well priced, but there seem to be mixed opinions on the quality of GKTech products on the US 370z/G37 forums.

What are your thoughts so far on the GKTech suspension arms?

Any issues so far other than the spacing you mentioned?

Thanks 😃

Hey mate, no issues 3 ish years on. Driven on daily with some motorkhana/drifting/track days.

The only part I'm not too happy with are the FUCAs. They're clunky and difficult to adjust. Have cost me in additional time when getting alignments done at different shops too. 

I'll probably upgrade them at some point but other than those the rest of the kit has been fine.


Sorry about late reply.

Hey, thanks so much for the reply :)

 

Noted, I've decided to go with Hardrace components.

No reviews on the v36 products and they are a bit more expensive than GKTech, but they've got an AUS branch so don't need to worry about shipping and warranty.

Also heard they have a very good rep in the Honda community and they make some good quality stuff.

hows it so far? 

Hey sorry, I completely forgot to get back to you 

Since I've fitted them, I've driven around 5000kms, mostly highway but with some hard, spirited driving. So far they've held up with no issues. Haven't had any weird noises or any of the adjustment issues. The mechanics who fitted the arms also said there were no issues with fitment and adjusting them, which is the whole point of aftermarket arms. I would say the car feels a bit more responsive and sturdier when turning in but, I did get a lot of other parts installed with the arms so can't confidently say if that's because of the arms. The traction arms are the ones where you can feel the difference. Once again, did get a bunch of parts so take it with a grain of salt but, the car definitely feels more planted and hooks up better during hard/aggressive acceleration. 

Hope this helps :) 

Can recommend the Hardrace products with the experience that I've had so far :)

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By MBS206 · Posted

      With the system, once you drive it for a bit, and before you turn the car off, does the car fix its date and time? When you say the date is wrong, what date does the vehicle think it is, and does it always show the same date? My thoughts from a process driven view is; The system may be defaulting to a standard start date/time. The main reason you'd typically see this occuring, is the system is losing its constant/backup power supply.   If its always defaulting to the same date/time at start up, and especially if it fixes itself while driving, I'd say either the non volatile memory has an issue, or the power supply to the volatile memory that stores this information.   The other thing I'd check is if there is anywhere in the system you can adjust the date and time from. If the date/time is still moving forward since it wished you happy new year, then it is 100% possible the system has just had a bit of data corruption occur, and you likely need to find a way to reset the date/time in the vehicle.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Scissor Jacks are an accident waiting to happen, the only time they should be used are in an roadside flat, even then a tyre and rim should be placed underneath

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
