hey guys,

for this year i will be swapping my standard suspension and handling gear for aftermarket replacements.

Just finished installing the first mod (castor rods) and now im thinking hmmm... should i have greased thoes? just wondering if i should pull them back out, grease them up and what to do about future upgrades. ive heard u can just spray on CRC an that does the job but i want it all done properly.

So what do you guys out there do?

at work i operate alot of machines and its a must to regrease all the joints each morning. because it works its way out apon friction. but these machines are designed with special greasing nipple points. so im thinking if i was to grease these rods and future mods, it would only be a temporary lube before id have to pull them back out again and grease them over. so maybe just regular CRC spray will do... :) ?

The bushes should have come with a small packet of molly grease. Use that, if you don't constantly degrease and/or wash under you car with high pressure then it will last at least a year before you need to regrease it. Don't chuck the half used packet, you will get 2 or 3 re-greases out of it.

Cheers

hey sk, i bought the d-project adj castor rods from drift shop. unfortunately they didnt come with any grease. but now i know to go and find myself some molly grease :/

but like i said in my second post, it makes sence that the grease works its way out of the joint apon friction... hopefully i have some teflon lining in them. ill have to have a closer inspection now because i dont remember seeing any.

cheers a mil gary :rofl:

    • Kaizo Industries put a VIN plate over where the Nissan plate would go. It was part of how they broke the law and attracted feds going after them.
    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
