Kazama Tension-caster Rod?

[abu]

Hey

Just wondering if anyone has used KAZAMA Tension-Caster Rod's in there R32, or any other Skyline for that matter?

I want to know if they are any good, and how they compare to CUSCO Tension-Caster Rod's.

Thanks,

Abu

Hi Friend.

Kazama is high quality shit.

Take a look at the thickness and quality of the rose joints and the dust boots over the bearings, can't go wrong. How much are they going for?

I got my no name jap ones for nothing since I sold my stock rods for the same price

Hey man

Wanted to talk to you about it on MSN, but you were not on! lol

Yeah they seem good quality, and I should be able to get them at a good price, cheaper than CUSCO.

They seem good quality, or just as good compared to the CUSCO ones.

Not to sure Richard, thats all the information I have.

I will try to translate it from the site, and get more pictures.

Yeah they do look nice, but the CUSCO's look equally as good I reckon.

They look like there good quality, but I don't care what they look like as I won't be able to see them. I want them to work well

Thanks for everyones input.

Has anyone got a set/been in a car that was running a set?

I've got them in my car, and they're a very nice bit of gear. Very happy with them, and never had a trouble.

They weren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Sorry to harp, but what are they made from steel/aluminium? I am after some aluminium ones.

Thanks for that man, pretty much just what I wanted to hear.

Will order a set tonight then

Any other feedback would be appreciated too.

Thanks.

the KAZAMA ones and URAS ones come off the same lproduction line (some of my kazama ones have come boxed inside URAS cartons and vice versa ) and are ALUMINIUM, they feature high quality rose joints and a dust cover. Honestley they are very differrent to the shite that is often offered for sale around the place. I have a set in the street car and cats for 2 1/2 years now and have not had to change the rose joints at all.... (in fact i have not even serviced the street car ones) i would say they are every bit as good as cusco items.

Hahaha very interesting!

Didn't know KAZAMA and URAS where on the same production line, funny how they turn up in the wrong boxes

Thanks for the info Trent. I was looking for someone's input/experience, KAZAMA in comparison to CUSCO.

Haven't read/seen any negative feed-back, so they seem to be a good choice.

Well order sent for the KAZAMA's, so hopefully should see them in a week or so

They look good... how much is a set going for? do they do rear camber arms and toe arms as well?

Also, for those rose joints without the rubber boot, what sort of "service" would you do on them to minimise wear on a street car?

sre the tension the same between the 2wds, 4wds, Gtrs and GTST and 32s, 33s and 34s? How much to replcae the rose joint? Soz for hijacking this thread.

GTR and GTS4 are the same, not sure if thats for R32, R33 and R34, but I know thats the case for R32's.

R32 GTST, A31 and S13 are the same.

Not to sure about R33 and R34, but there different to the above.
