Does anyone know if you can use the stock master cylinder with an abs delete? I dont mean just an unplug but actually redoing all of the brake lines.

omgitsweasel

take a tie rod to a machine shop and just have them make you a spacer that does fit. I have access to a lathe and just made mine, i made mine a little thinner than the ones on the market because i also grip lap my car and was weary of only having 4 threads engaged into the rack on sticky tires. Make sure you use red loctite.

To Jason: thank you so much for this dude. I've been grip lapping my car every chance I could since I got the car a year ago. About 4 months ago I entered in my first drift event and did HORRIBLY. Got on here, read this thread, followed the advice and have been having a BLAST ever since. There is NOTHING like cool-guy drifting in a bright ultra yellow Z with heated seats, navigation open with the orientation arrow spinning all over like crazy when youre sliding, playing japanese **** on full volume on my in-dash DVD player. For good measure, I'll be getting a cell phone windshield mount to record some of this nonsense. Bright LCD screens GALORE! (which also generally looks awesome to the spectators in the elevated stands too)
Now, time to find some more used RE01s!

Has anyone just tried these spacers? Seems like the same idea for 1/4 the price.

I have the JIC Magic tie rods installed which have built-in spacers. They definitely work.

I don't know about the "1 per car" thing though...Seems to me like you'd need both sides to be symmetrical in order for them to have equal full-lock.

Yes, you need to re-center the rack.
Found this.

i installed the tien tie rods with the spacers and my pass side wheel rubs real bad on my compression arm, drivers side is good. i run a 18x9.75 +20 wheel. any advice would be helpful.i would like to not have to spacer it to much. ive done everything on the list and my car drift like a champ. other than the rubbing

racerizzy

jasonz-ya did you ever do anything to correct the rub

It's your wheel choice - offset, 9.75 inch rim and +20 offset. it is what it is!

Why do you need a wheel that large up front, you turbo z?? need extra grip???

in the end, just replace arms!

the alternatives are expensive kits like the Power by max kit and stuff........and at a point it aint worth it if you can just buy replacement arms for cheap...

pair that arm with the spl compression arm bushing and swap the bushing to every arm you replace down the line...

I'm on arm #3.

Hey everyone. I'm new to the Z33 platform and am hoping to get back into drifting next year. A quick question, and sorry if it has been answered a bunch of times already, will a 18X9.5 +15 rub/lock at full lock. I have seen your suggestions on the first page of cutting the bumpstop and getting tierods but am wondering about wheel sizing. Seems like all the decent knockoff wheels are those sizes is why I am really leaning toward that sizing.

I run 18 x 9.5 +20 with a 20mm spacer so effective +0 with 225/40/18 tire size and do not rub.

Should note that I run the JIC Magic inner tie rods with Moon Face Racing Outers. I haven't cut my bump stops on the compression rod yet, but plan to early next year.

Hey thanks for the quick response. Was the reason for running a 20mm spacer to sit flush with the fender or to clear the arms?

18x9.5+15 with 15mm spacer, 245/40 tire. Didn't rub with tein tie rods. Now with PBM angle kit slight rub on sway bar. LCA and A-arm maxed to -8 camber

I really thought about buying your car Fillipe. pretty much the end goal for my car but I need something that is a little more daily right now.

Finally found the thread that i'm looking for.
But looks so quiet here. Is there any active drifting thread instead of this one?

Acidjake on here used to drift alot and he didnt have angle kit. I feel unless youbare hardcore into it, you dont need it

epenbecks

I don't wanna spend thousands for something i don't need. But since my front control arms messed up and have to replace them, i'm thinking just to replace them with angle kit.
Building my drift car slowly but sure

epenbecks

Just got this FDF mantis angle kit installed Can't wait to drift this thing.
