Can't Get Full Steering Lock

[Fantm 34]

I've run into some trouble trying to get more lock out of my R34 gtt. Any help would be appreciated!

So I've bought the driftworks geomaster knuckles and offset rack spacer and just installed them. I've had to cut 25mm of the tie rod and tap some more thread on it, also completely cut the original bump stop off but now the tie rod end is hitting the lca and still got a 1/4 steering to go to full lock. How can I get around this?? Any advice would be appreciated

This is why people notch and scallop the lca. But then you're going to run into binding issues. A bump steer adjustable tie rod end may help a little.

Okay thanks for that. Might have to start hacking away at it. What do u reckon binding issues will be?

Before you do that, maybe have a read through this first http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=360823&st=0

umm I might be a bit old fashioned, but it looks like you already have more lock than the front end was designed for....do you really need more, more?

Funny you say that. I should have fit the wheel first cos I just got the bearing today and put the when on and it fouls out on a little bit of the chassis and the brake line mounting. I may have to look at getting different offset wheels to get around it.
