This thing is looking epic, by far and away the most informative build series I have ever watched (and the most epic restomod Z32 build on tape). I just ordered my own Akebono set-up with some other bits, I'll be re-watching a few of your vids over some beers soon!
Oh man. I just spent some time fight my gktech bushings on my 300zx. Only to result to calling a buddy with a small lathe over to cut them down. Wish I would of found your video sooner. Would of felt better about what I was doing. Just got them cut down and installed last night lol
Yeah, apologies Kody. There's a lot going on behind the scenes in the Shed at the moment. Hopefully it will all pay off though. Probably going to be a bit slow for the next few weeks too. Cheers Mate.
Recommendation Trev on those Front Upper Control Arms (FUCAS)! Be careful with them and monitor them - I've been in the Zed groups for 10 years and we really consider Z1's or RGS (UAS's) the premium go-to Fucas. - It's a critical component - and That GK design? .. I -don't-know. Why Czp is offering/not offering Z1's ? Could be stock issues. Seen those copies all before! /....Z1 & UAS did solid R&D! Ask around. - You've got to consider *the load & the zed geometry differs. - Many vehicles have failed-there and it's just community choice. You know what happens. -You might get a month /or 6 or 12/but without notice it ends bad. They're just not integral/ beefy ....and the-load = twist and break. Monitor them religiously! ....but Z1 or RGS for there.
And last time I checked-, Those joints are not Street-legal here. - - I'm pretty sure rose-joints will not pass Australia safety-inspection. (That's what I found).
@@znmcmhn G'day Mate, I'm curious now. have you heard of any failures with the GKtek arms. They seem very beefy & do articulate quite well. I guess time will tell. Rose joints don't worry me, not something most can spot. I have full Rose joint suspension on my 370gt & I mean everything. Never had anyone even look twice at it. Pretty hard to go back to urethane bush's now. No comparison. Cheers Mate.
@@TheAussieShed I cant see if you got my other replies - but-also, - keep your oem fucas. - Don't bin them. -Reason being, Many drivers revert back to stock fucas.
