I had SRI red rear upper arms in my car, which were squeaking after 6 months. Replaced with GKTech arms. It's been over 3 months now without a noise from them.No, it means you get two pieces (two arms).

I chucked these it the rear as i broke an ISC arm not too far from Just Jap so it was side of the road replacement duties lol

I am running the traction rods and so car not a noise to be heard, these would have done over 6mths work now!

changed all the arms in my S13 to the kazama ones, even changed a second set. creaking noises came after 3 months. removed dust boot and regreased the entire joint. no noise... then creaking noises came back after 1 month or so. So i figured it was the rose joints... Friend had ikeya formula ones on his S15.... same issue after couple of months.

That's a surprise as Kazama arms are made by Cusco so they are quality arms in all accounts, did you and your friend buy brand new?

Anyone running Hardrace front upper arms for BNR32/Z32? I'm guessing they fit the non-GT-R R32s as well.

I want to know if they're rubber or spherical like the rest of the arms.

There's no way to use spherical joints in R32 front uppers. Remember, the bush is about 125mm long on those things. The two sorts are proper bushed (either rubber like Nismo/OEM or poly) and the ones that have metal bearings in them. But these are rolling element type bearings, not pillowballs.

Whoops, my bad.

Yeah them metal rolling ones are flogged out on the arms on the car. I might as well splash out on those Kakimoto ones. I run about -2.5º front camber anyway. Nismo arms aren't short enough unfortunately (haven't even put them on yet).

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
