You've done a top quality fit Dan, really grateful and it's nice to see how others people have done there's and with what size bolt's they used big or small! I know you've bolted it in both places but didn't know what size bolts we're used big or small! Think it's me toe that needs sorting!!

Right then so think we've established I need to swap all 4 larger spacing nuts for the 4 thinner ones... So on the arm it should be thin nut - Big orange thing in middle then thin nut again!! Also to clarify where the bolts go as per your picture starting at the top of the pic, The smaller bolt go in the top of the bracket, the long one as you said goes through the arm and subframe. And then the other long one goes through the polybush near the wheel. Last bit of confusion is the washers supplied! Think we used washers on every bolt so don't know if this matters or not!

Ah have to check with Dan if he used the short bolts or the long bolts to the subframe, can't remember exactly! Thanks for posting up a pic of yours though and did you end up using the 4 smaller nuts on the arm or the ones that came with it?

Only because my ball joints we're knackered and the Driftworks kit does away with them... They way I saw it was based on Z center prices ball joints are £55 each and with the group buy that Dan organised the Driftworks kit wasn't that much more expensive and replaced the skinny standard toe arms..

Yeah please mate any pictures will be a great help! Thanks!

Thanks Lee, that's a great help! I'll give the smaller nuts a try then dude.

Yeah it does lock the rear Dan so we're not supposed to get any play in the wheels or that wobbly effect but I guess if the toe is wrong then that's whats causing my wobbley skittish issue over bumps and things in the road!!! The effect when going over a bump happens very quick but the back end does feel unsettled. It's great in a straight tho line and better than when I had that old lock out bar! Guess i'll fit those smaller nuts and have it geometry checked on a 4 wheel lazer alignment unit to make sure it's as it should be... At least with the smaller nuts fitted it'll give the wheel alignment guy some room for adjustment! I'll report back to you with the results dude then i'll help you fit yours when we know what nuts we're supposed to be using! Lee says the small nuts we're good for him! :scared:

It only bolts up with one bolt per side mate, straight where the old lock out bar used to go using the shorter bolts as per this picture... http://www.driftworks.com/shop/suspension/nissan-suspension/driftworks-total-hicas-eliminator-nissan.html http://www.driftworks.com/shop/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/410x328/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/H/i/HicasEliminator1_48.jpg

Gonna get under it again and swap it for the smaller nuts and have it geometry checked as i'm convined it's towing in too much... Found this great website that explains a lot about suspension adjustment. http://www.trackpedia.com/wiki/Vehicle_Dynamics_-_Cause_and_Effect_Guide

It's really weird Dan, going in a straight line it's fine and no bouncing around like it used to. But now after a few days of just going 30Mph over little bumps in the road it really does wiggle to the left or right depending what side of the road the bumps are on and worse than before... Totally agree with you that if we put the other nuts on as well as the ones that we're all ready on there then yes it would toe in to much as it would be pushing the rear of the wheels out too much to give toe in! Just wondering if the other nuts are smaller now as by eye when you look at my rear wheels they are toeing in.. Lee Dent mentioned he had to use the other nuts as the originals we're causing too much toe in.. Guess it's worth a try fitting the other nuts and seeing if it makes the rear wheels straight and true and with the car jacked up making sure there is no wiggle in the wheels and it's not something else that's fooked like a subframe bush. Was just guessing it was the shocks as the wiggle is still there. Thanks again for fitting it the other day tho dude! :bow:

Stupid question Lee but did you use them in conjunction with the bigger nuts either end or did you just swap the big ones for the small ones?? Cheers, Jon

Could be right there Dave, had a look at my rear wheels by eye and it's looks like there towing in slightly but difficult to tell... Feels bloody horrible on both the left and the right hand side rear when going over drain covers in the road or raised bit's of tarmac.. Feels like it sliding to one side when you go over these.

You need to register yourself on photobucket. http://photobucket.com/ You can upload your pictures from there and once you've done that just copy and paste the line of code under your photo that begins into your message on here and voila!!

Yes please mate! Be good to see how yours is bolted on compared to mine... Still be interested to see where the other 4 bigger nuts go!

Just wondering if we've not set our locking position right and maybe the wheels are toeing out giving that wobbly feeling???

I thought that but with the bigger nut's on it seemed to make the bar's too long so they wouldn't fit! Maybe the bottom bit near the shock where the old track rod arm connects to needs to be forced out a bit to get it in there.

Well mate have to see how yours is when fitted. Had a hicas lock out bar before i fitted the driftworks ones and now and I hate to say this my backend seems more wobbly as the days go on.... :( Maybe those center brackets arn't tight enough or those 4 spare nuts we're actually ment for something we've over looked... Wish driftworks did a fitting guide to explain how it all goes together...

Yeah thank god we did it on a group buy thanks to dannzx and got it a bit cheaper... Nice that the track rod end arms are bigger tho and it is a quality piece of kit. Just a pain in the arse to get the old ball joints out even with dans special tool! Took Dan about 2 hours to get those out and then only 20mins fitting the driftworks kit! That's the trouble with ball joints that have been on the car for 20 Years!!!

Me and Dan found this out yesterday and didn't fit those 4 nuts to mine. Guess you can fit them to the arm if you need to extend it out a bit but it was bloody tight anyway so we didn't use them... We we're short on washers but seems we both only got 4 each in both our kits!

Just a quick masive thank you to Dannzx today for fitting my new Driftworks total hicas elimination kit and organising the group buy to get it cheaper. No more wobbly back end, it's solid!!! :bow:

Went into Halfords today for the first time in ages and supprised how CHEAP there products have become. Usually bought thing's like autoglym and meguires cleaning shampoo and polishing stuff of ebay thinking I was getting it cheap but Halfords Cheaper again by a few quid!! :bow:

Yeah just had a few hours on the beach yesterday afternoon! Whole place including blue bar was rammed! Good tho!

Saw you today heading away from Porthtowan! Nice sunny day for it and you had the roof off given it some stick!

:happybday::rockon::dance: Happy Birthday Super Dan! Looks like i'll have to get an extra big cake for next week!! Have a great day dude! :bow::happybday::rockon::dance:

Sounds good! :hyper:
