BLACK BEAST BUILD Slicktop R-Spec

R34 race cars actually often change to R33 so they have adjustable radius rods.
I have three position settings on my car and tried all three, and we found bottom one was best. The anti dive in this case is sort of like if you fall forward your arms are out in front of you rather than raised, so you stop or slow the fall, so you don't break your nose. Yes you are right spring rates do it to and another option. Depends on set up of each car and testing.

 

If you don't mind me asking what did the adj lower rear arms cost?
I'm looking at options for mine, I'd rather buy than make or modify given the importance of these parts

Anyone know of cheaper versions of these (not tooo cheap LOL!)

 

not much change from $2000.. for both sets
depends on Jap exchange rate

you can get
SPL rears $899us
SPL front $699us
But the rod ends arent as good as the Ikeya formula

 

Top camber arm brackets fitted. removed as much of chassis until back of bracket hits bolts .about 15-20mm was achieved which looks to be sufficient.Anymore would require some serious surgery.


stoptech fronts are on


plotting out bumpsteer to redrill new position of hicas arm. Rear top camber arm in but still waiting on the male rod end to replace the female one.


setting up to check toe on travel ..have reduced toe in to just 1mm


good news is that my current wheels clear the stoptech brakes easily.

 

OUCH!!

Hmmm those prices make it economical to fly over & steal yours

Maybe I will have to make some - but that wont be easy should be fun though

 

sexy rims

 

I fitted the overflow tank next to battery and removed the stock one behind intercooler as seen in pics .
fits good .

 

Good to hear
(thanks for the plug!)

 

Check out the adjustable lower arms in the FSBB from japtek, looking at gettin adjustable lower rear arms for myself

 

Thanks I hadn't spotted the post about those, have enquired for pics & price

 

they look ok for the price ..
just check the size and quality of the rod ends ..

cheaper ones have a smaller rod end thread size which can snap/bend

 

PST C/F tailshaft in .
Not convinced that the PST C/F will be a problem like the ACPT ones .
..weight of aluminium 12.5lbs and strength of chromoly.(until /if I prove it wrong)

 

can you pahhhleeeaseeee show us a pic from a distance!! im dying to see what it looks like

 

Those upper arm brackets turned out very nicely. You'd be hard pressed picking that up as a modification. Good work.

 

Re-custom gt28rs turbos 3" intakes

Whats custom about your turbo's, is it just the larger intakes? Also (I might of missed it) - will you have twin intakes and AFM's?

Rear Sway Bar in ..had to be bent on both ends to suit new geometry.
