if you have ever made the mistake of buying cheap parts with cheap rose joints that f##k out after 5-10,000kms and get really sloppy and noisy, you would value quality, and not buy cheap crap.

Having said that i do not know the quality of Just Jap Suspension parts.

they are more than likely locally made with some parts being cheap taiwan/chinese stuff.

FWIW i bought a paid of rear camber arms from Just Jap, installed them, drove round the block then jacked car up again to retension all fittings and i noticed not one but both arms had cracked in crutial points in their welds...

Horrible products and even worse customer service... i got my money back in the end but not after being labled "an arsehole customer" and a hell of a wait.

i for one wont ever EVER recommend them

Dont skimp on suspension bits. If a stock arm can fail, I have no doubt that a cheap aftermarket arm can fail. If you're doing pretty high speeds on a track, your suspension is definitely something that you dont want to fail... :)

I can also back the SK groupbuy stuff. The shocks are amazing and they work incredibly well with the other things. If there was anything I was to recommend, it would be the SK groupbuy.

So you have had stock arms fail too? MY rear upper arms yielded around the bush. Giving me interesting geometry and causing the wheel to rub.

Scary thing is i didnt really notice to drive the car except i heard the rubbing. When i got to where i was going i checked it and saw the arm giving way. Good thing it happened when it did as the next day i was going to a Motoconcepts Eastern Creek day.

So late night by BD4s replacing the arm and welding gussets to both left and right arms to stop it from happening to my current set.

So std or aftermarket it can happen.

So rather then just right off one option, i woudl firstly ask what you are hoping to get from putting in susp stuff? You want it to feel nicer on the road. You want it to handle better? You wantt o fix an alignment issue sinc eyou have lowered the car? You want to track it ???

looking for tie rod ends, small rubber boot has split and also need the bushes on the swaybar mounts. the mounts/links on the end of the swaybar are also looking pretty dodgy, gotta chang it.

the other thing they had was engine damper kits.

    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
