Is that site okay? Is it the authentic/original one, not just stickered clone/copy/knock off?

Also they don't seem to have the S13 steering column bushing, i want that too...

How fast is their shipping?

[Ian]

don't alot of companies make these steering rack bushings?

[TheSquidd]

Bought mine from RHDJapan.

[Slidin240Wayz]

Patrick and Russell are legit at RHDJapan...do it. They have your steering column bushing as well.

The steering column bushing can't seem to see it on there, but yea i want that too.

My plans right now for front end are, spl inner and outer pro z32 rods, power brace (from rhd), yashio factory tension rod brace (this one actually works driftworks has a copy also), the yanack steering rack solid metal bushings
, and the steering column solid bushing (cant seem to see it).

I have a question though, they have choice between two shipping methods, by land and by ems, whatever that is.

Land one is much cheaper, ems is quite expensive especially on power brace, how long will the land one take, any one have experience with them in the past.

i am definetely getting it from them though.

power brace (from rhd), yashio factory tension rod brace (this one actually works driftworks has a copy also)

Oh.

Message length

EMS is fairly quick service wise, friend of mine got his R33 ECU that was missing from his engine set... anyways after ordering it showed up 3 days later!

If its not on their site why not just email them?

[Dousan_PG]

yeah rhd is great
i got my stuff w/in a week
good service fast shipping!
decent pricing

[Slidin240Wayz]

Get the EMS...it's not worth waiting 60 days for $5.00 less.

Get the steering column bushing on Ebay.

[a_ahmed]

But where on ebay, there's none :( Help me out with that, i want it.

[BattleRoyale]

check frsport they have the aluminum steering bushing

[a_ahmed]

I purchased them :coold:

Total of 527.36 Canadian dollars with shipping. Shipping was frickin 140.57 Canadian dollars (mostly because of the NISMO power brace... sheesh...).

So it's on it's way with EMS shipping... yashio factory tension brace, nismo power brace and yanack steering rack solid metal bushings.

Now all I need is the SPL v3 inner and outer z32 type pro tie rods which are STILL out of production :rl::bash::madfawk: I just conversed with SPL today, telling me they might even delay for another 1.5-2months because the production line is taking a while................

The SPL v2 tension rods... and last but not least the yanack or similar steering column bushings...

I wish they would frickin resume the tie rods production already :whip::rant::hyper:

[TheSquidd]

You couldn't get the power brace locally? Aren't those pretty normal? At least state side I thought.

I know nothing about them , no personal reviews, but Peak Performance makes a tie rod end similar to the SPL model, with roll center adjustment. 180$ from tougefactory.com I think. If anyone here has any info on them chime in, but they look decent. Make sure to look at the PRO model.

[a_ahmed]

I was just looking at those actually while in my search for the steering column bushing.

I also noticed they have some crazy tension rods!


Peak Performance tension rods:

Anyone run them? These look crazy and very different.

The factory rubber bushing in the tension rod has been known to be a source of many problems with S13/S14 owners. The oil filled bushing is known to burst and cause all types of unwanted and unexpected toe changes. Peak Performance has designed an aluminum T-6061 hard anodized piece that eliminates the weight and maintains accuracy required under race conditions. The Peak Performance Tension Rod allows for caster changes with an easy adjustment nut and uses Aurora rod end bearings, the undisputed standard in the racing industry. With accurate adjustability and stiffness it allows for quicker steering response and greater feedback from your steering wheel which are the key ingredients for a successful drift.http://www.tougefactory.com/shop/?shop=1&cart=251394&cat=257&noCookiePassThrough=Y&

Also I ended up getting the steering column bushing from here:

http://www.lsauto.com/products.asp

LS AUTO.

It's 25$USD and free shipping :D can't complain... fs sport was asking 29$USD + 23$USD for shipping (slowest 4-10 days). Hell no I am not paying more than 30 bux, it's just a frickin piece of plain drilled aluminum

[a_ahmed]

OoOoOoOh!! HOT!!

Can't wait!

Did you get the steering column bushing/bushing eliminator too?

Got to do a review man :)

But... I want to install everything in one step... damn SPL... and their slow production :( I've been waiting since May/June for them to resume production... now they say 1.5-2 more months.. wth? Only reason I am waiting is cause I trust their products to have the most R&D, best quality, most adjustability, lightest/strongest materials, race proven, etc... :(

I also hope LS Auto ships fast the steering column bushing/bushing eliminator... as I read from their Ebay account feedbacks that sometimes they don't ship fast......

[TheSquidd]

Yeah I got the column spacer on Monday. Putting in a new (used) rack, tein rods and ends, column bushings and rack bushings, home made bumpstops. I'll let you know how it feels after.

[a_ahmed]

What do you mean by bump stops? Like protective boots? And did you get the steering column bushing from frsport, ls auto or ebay?

Lucky for you guys in the states when ordering parts... I get killed on shipping...

Anyways keep me updated...

I'm really pissed off at SPL for having their rods out of production :(
I have s14 moog inner and outer tie rods now, and they are bent/loose after barely a year of use... I don't want to have the same thing happen to me... I guess I'll have no choice but to wait another 1.5-2months... The thing I like when getting SPL parts is that they offer future discounts if you are a customer who previously purchased older versions of their products...

[Dousan_PG]

ive had all those things on my car for like 6 months-1yr
did a review on the last yanack thread

shits awesome

spl yeah
gott wait for the good stuff. but its a worth while wait!!
