This isn't a group buy in the traditional 'get an existing product cheaper' sense, but more a 'please please please let us own these arms' - as such, I don't have a minimum run time (sooner the better?) or delivery information. So please, bear with me.

GKTech recently put up their design for an R32 GTR/Z32 front upper control arm based on the Group A design. Unfortunately, he has shelved the project due to it being prohibitively expensive - so I want to get some arms raised to get these on the market.

The issue with most camber arms flogging out bearings is that the inner and outer bearings are locked parallel to each other - however when you add caster, the bolts are no longer equal. To stop the bearings getting flogged out, the arm needs to be able to rotate.
The only arm currently on the market is made by Unique Autosports. UAS's design has the rotation, however is very expensive ($595).
Speaking with Greg at GKTech, in order to get the ball rolling he will need a minimum of 30 sets @ $399. Who's keen?

Reported this on Z32 forum as z32 has all kinds of issues with FUCA's.

Survey says, these are not suitable for Z32.

I've been keeping in touch with Greg at GK Tech and he emailed a week or two ago saying they are currently in production..

I'd say there is a good chance they will be ready before year end :banana:

As for the group buy/pricing no idea sorry

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts!

    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
