its very expensive and personally I would not go that route, I use JDI knuckles in my r33 drift car and they will only cost about 220 if u supply ur own knuckles for them to modified and they are very strong not one has broken to date or if you dont want to go down the cut shut path you can buy the driftworks knuckles for r33 which is basically a full steel knuckle but again proce is aorund 6-700 mark but atleast its a full knuckle not a bolt on kit.

My friend is using them up here in darwin on his 32 drift car (the one that is in the photos of garage 7's page).

He has no issues with them yet, and get some serious angle.

If you want i can out you in touch with him

Its expensive cause its all made from quality gear. Keep in mind that you get new tie rods and ends with it. It increases your track and camber also as well as increasing lock and improving roll Centre. So you can't compare them to cut and shuts.

I've driven the development car with these knuckles and its unreal also

Hi there , This setup seems quite expensive , and also i think it may adjust the suspension geometry of the car , im not sure if that would make it better or worse to drive though... it seems that there may be slight steering bind at full lock too. another way to go about it is the cut n welded knuckles. for my C33 i got my knuckles cut and welded with the correct settings for the aikerman angle i wanted , and also got them crack tested. so far they seem great , a few other mods to get more lock are , Longer rack ends , Steering rack moved fowards , extended steering shaft with solid bush (for better feel through the steering) and extended LCA's. there is slight bind on full lock but nothing to durastic. on r32's you should extend your LCA's 15mm so that when you are on lock (or close to it) your wheel with weight on it has more contact with the tarmac. hope this helps :)

    • How much have you lowered?  I had 350Z springs in the rear and was able to pull the camber into factory spec with the factory arms on the rear, obviously the front ran negative camber as it isn't adjustable, but rotating the wheels regularly evened out the wear.
    • Either the installer needs to come back, you need an auto electrician, or you need to learn automotive electricals yourself.   First step Id look at is where that big thing came out of, is there still things unplugged at that location? Maybe they just forgot to put a relay in or something?
    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.
