Hi there, my first post on this site so be kind if I'm a bit vague

I have damaged a front lower control arm due to.. well we all know. I've been looking around for a set because i want to replace all of them or at least the fronts. I have read that drift works does the job but I have seen some other convincing brands I have a link to some which i think could be the goods but since I'm new to the skyline game some help/info would be appreciated

Heres a link and a pic of the ones im looking at

These Hardrace items from Just Jap seem to be OK gear. Get caster rods with either the hardest bushes possible or go for the rod/ball ended ones (I would go for the rod/ball ended ones, even though they're not street legal - they are much better to drive on).

Hardrace make adjustable control arms for the front and back of Skylines and you can have a choice of rod/ball ended or hard rubber bushes. For a streeter the rubber bushes are probably smarter. They are legal, for a start.

Other than that, I concur with Bob above, Cusco make good equipment. Tein also make good gear - I have Tein caster rods on my car. Formula Ikeya also make good gear but it tends towards the pricey end of the scale. Probably a good sign!

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?

      Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.

      Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
