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.

Ah appologies I'll try be more active in here haha I take it you have the 4was too?

I've just got my hands on a z34 rear subframe, I'm looking at whacking that in to remove system and improve the diff bracing.

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 :)

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.

      The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned.

      Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?

      I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
