With spring around the corner it feels time to list my 3UP 4537 Knuckles and LCAs for sale. I bought these when I was living in Japan and drifting and if you had an R33, these were the only option. Luckily they also happen to be an awesome option. They are crafted by the boss of the 3UP Workshop and are so well made that to look at them you wouldn't even know they were modified. The Garage, 3UP is a small one located in Saitama, Japan, but they are passionate about their Nissans and have even run a car in D1 Street legal (see pics) The name 4537 comes from the fact that they have been modified to turn the steering angle 45 deg to the right, 37 to the left, which is a crucial few degrees over standard, and more than enough to make a big difference when drifting. I went from spinning half the time at Nikko's first corner to being able to hold it and some dignity. Someone with proper drifting skills would be able to really play around with the car. When swapping out knuckles you also need the supporting hardware, and that's where the Lower Control Arms come in. They have had thee stopper removed and a stronger plate set back on the arm welded in its place. Its also been boxed for extra rigidity. The other things you need (not included with these parts) are longer tierods to account for the extended reach of the steering. 3UP recommend fitting the Ikeya Formula parts for an s14 Silvia as being a direct fit for this, but there would be a variety of solutions to this. You may also need offset tension rods to account for the wheels turning further than standard, these are also commonly available. This kit has been designed by 3UP not to bind and to provide greater lock for drifters. Its a high quality kit and the best part is, by being a direct fit you can keep your standard parts and fit them back anytime you want. Items are located in Melbourne and I would prefer local pick up, but will send at buyers expense. They are, in fact, boxed up and ready to go and come with instructions in Japanese and shop stickers. Good value at $550 and these parts are rare-as; don't expect to see any others coming for sale for a long time. Best to email - [email protected] as Im not always on SAU. Thanks.
