to be fair mark most of the dearer ones are the same part just labelled up with posh names and posh prices

Yes ive installed these and they fit very well

ok then so how do these give Extra steering lock over normal ones

They are slightly longer than stock. If I remember right they are 200sx arm's

They have steering lock spacers built into the inner tie rod to increase steering lock. Its the round part between the square end and the thread.

 

The spacers effectively allow the rack to move further before it hits the stops.

Sorted ... 69quid Posted .. so works out to be a little better than Ebay jobbys :)

Im asking that Mark becouse lots of parts from Japspeed dont fit, on auctions they are saing its P&P and fit 300zx , and when You try its impossible or You need to cut something etc.

dont use Ebay .. Ring them

 

and only buy them . not with the Track Rod End Rose joint ( Blue ) as they dont fit the 300zx hub

 

but the rods above fit the rack and existing Track rod ends

Few more pics installed and the differences

 

 

you have to grind down the End stops so the Arms can do there job

Tease!

You do seem to get quite a bit more turn with them..

with about 6mm more rack travel .. works out to be around 1>1.5" more steering rake/angle

A worthwhile upgrade then! I've never been that happy with the lock on the zed tbh. I don't know what the turning circle is but it feels huge.

Let us know if there are any issues with the wheel rubbing the engine side of the wheel arch when u get it on the road Mark. Wheels look great

I have to do a 3 point turn to get round the M25...

well the car is in the air right now ... and with the 19" there is no rubbing on full lock there is loads more room to get more lock but it would involve shortening the hub steering arms

Any chance you could do a "how 2" mate for the FAQ section? I think that would be very useful to a lot of members, myself included :)

i was going to at the time .. let me see what i can come up with
