I cant see any use in putting in a second hand item at all. Its still going to be clapped outsometime soon. Its a common wear and tear item.

You CAN get new ball joints pressed in, just need to find a competent fitter. Most pedders type places may have a good operator who can do it. DONT give em the job it they are a dodgey looking place, or if they get some 17year old paint sniffer to do it for them....

The new ones for $75 each arent too bad either. Would look into this for sure. Maybe get it done by a workshop so if the part fails or breaks soon, they will replace or fix it under warranty.....

The arm was bent when he hit a gutter + caster bar was cracked and please tell me why a 2nd hand arm is no good when it's done less than 100K and for free?

Also, have never seen a successful replacement outer ball joint in any R30!

he's right, Many years ago we did a replacement ball joint job on one of my arms, It failed 20k later, this isnt 20,000k a real only 20km down the road. Did some pretty big damage also.

Dont do it. It isn't worth it. The price of a arm these days are pretty good. Even better if your getting one for free

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
