Gktech R32 Gtr/z32 Front Upper Control Arms

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?

    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
    • yeah pretty much, stopped playing after lightfall, couldnt be bothered with the final shape...  ran that game into the ground for years... bit of a shame.. the  story was awesome. was playing a lot of trials but the hackers became tooo much, ruined the game.

    • For example, you’ll need this approval if: you’re a car enthusiast looking to import a specialist vehicle or an older car you want to bring your vehicle with you when you move to Australia you manufacture or import special purpose vehicles or a small number of trailers each year.       Tutuapp 9Apps
    • I reckon you are 100% right on the money. The only reason I bought Red Sport instead of the base VR30 is that I am investigating racing it in Production Cars, and they require you to run a (mostly) standard car....therefore knowing exactly what was in the RS spec was important to me and I paid the extra. Other than that, for sure I would have pocketed the $10k and spent them on mods instead. Plus the non-RS models are more likely to have had a nicer life prior. Just a warning though, mods always cost twice as much as they look like they will on paper BTW you should also consider the 400R imports, they are about the same price as a local RS but 5+ years newer. Of course that comes with the usual warnings about finding parts, unhelpful nissan dealers and finding insurance
