Hey guys,

SPL A-Arms are the best in the business. One look at these things in person will tell you these are not some cheap mass made Chinese knock off. They are CNC cut from billet aluminum and are a pure work of art. They feature 'shim blocks' that allow you to change camber accurately and quickly by between -2.5deg to +1deg over natural camber. Read here for more info.

I bought these off a forum member about 6 months ago:

http://zclub.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/4959-350z-part-out-list-nothing-over-12mths-old/?hl=a-arms

Unfortunately, in my distraction in talking to the seller when I picked them up I overlooked the fact that the hemispherical joints had a fair amount of play in them and one of the bolts had been crossthreaded and then remachined leaving it much smaller than the other side. So not wanting to put something in my car that could be either dangerous or introduce annoying knocking sounds I contact SPL and ordered all new hemi's and hardware at a cost of $165USD + shipping. The advantage is these are the latest V3 designed joints that overcome the earlier issues of dirt entering the joint and causing noise/binding/wear. I'll include the old joints for reference, otherwise will throw them in the bin.

So these are basically brand new arms. Never been installed in my car. Unfortunately II waited so long for the parts to arrive, I am now selling my car I don't plan to use them.

As you can see, these retail for $759USD + Shipping.

All I am asking is to get back what they owe me - the $475 I paid, plus the $165 for the joints.

PRICE: $640

CONDITION: The A-Arm section is used, but no signs of wear except 3 or 4 of stone chips. All moving parts are BRAND NEW and come with warranty (receipt provided).

LOCATION: Pickup Melb or can post at buyers expense.

CONTACT: Via PM or O419 336 116

Cheers

Mat

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
