hay buddy

i love ur nismo suspension arms

if i could ask where u got it from and the price u paid for all of it i would really appreciate it

pm if u prefer

ive bought and used the nismo arms before. I had the whole set front and rear in my R32 gtr. A little bit pricey for what they are, which is essentially the stock arms painted silver with strengthened nismo bushes. If you must go down this route you are better off just buying the strengthened nismo bushes and have them pushed into your standard arms. there are a few extra tack welds along the standard bracing in some of the arms for that little bit extra reinforcement, but nothing you couldnt do yourself. The great thing about nismo bushes is that they are still rubber which although strengthened, will not be as harsh as a rose joint, but still does offer a slightly better feel than the standard bushes without sacraficing too much comfort. This is a good choice for a street car with no legality issues. If this is not a concern and you head to down to the track every once in a while, i think the ikeya formula arms are hard to beat for direct response and feel, with adjustability for a circuit setup if required. Or alternatively you can dial in a setting that allows for lesser tyre wear on the tyres (especially the rear) for regular road driviing. The The nismo arms, like the standard arms are fixed into a position where it causes excessive wear on the inner rears. Although great for traction when youre giving it some around corners, is not the ideal setup for a road car, especially when youre running an expensive tyre package for daily driving. With adjustable arms, you could dial some or all of this out to give your tyres a more even wear and allowing your them a longer life. The ikea formula arms may be a little more expensive, but for that little extra over the nismo arms, the gains far outweigh the extra cost. Whatever you end up choosing im sure ivan from hi power can help you out! One thing though DO NOT BUY CHINESE ARMS!

Wow impressive build up guys cant wait to see it all finished with the kit etc. I was wondering if you could possibly pm me a rough price as to how much the engine mods + labour were as i would love to have the same or similar mods on my 33gtst.

Good luck with getting the times your are after also.

Where u end up getting the Z-tune guards from?

Need some for my car in the near future.

We are the Australian importer & distributor of Nismo Competition Parts, so luckily, we had a set out the back :)

If you need a set, you can order them through any authorised dealer.

Halfway through the respray. Rear guards have been flared, Z-Tune guards have been modified to match up with the side skirts, the car should be going into the booth today to finish the body.

I can't be certain (due to the angle of the photo) but the rear guards don't look that great :wacko: looks like u killed the factory flare line and just went for the bulge look, would of been nicer if it was the same as the GTR rear quarters with the vivid horizontal line

    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
    • Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
    • Well, you wouldn't use 2nd hand bearings out of another engine anyway....so just buying the proper bearings is obviously what you're going to do. The crankshaft would be common. The conrods might be common. There is essentially nothing else you would be able to use.
