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 :)

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
