Yeah, have one of the guys here buy it for you and ship it as "personal effects" and it will get there fine. Enclose a $0.00 invoice and there will be no importing fee. I think that woul dbe your best bet. It will be like 30-50 in UPS WorldAir Shipping.

you could only imagine my headaches...









your good to go. you can get an aftermarket SPC camber kit.

that is prob why I had so much damage. my SPC camber arm was too strong, and instead of giving way like yours did, my SPC arm pushed my entire subframe to the left.


and this all happened after i spent nearly 20+ hours polishing and performing the 20k maintenance work


the RETARDED body shop I brought it to convinced me that I needed to replace the 1/4 when I really did not...as a result, none of the panels line up and IMO looks worst than the actual pictures above

ok i mean the new work aint that bad. its just that the new 1/4 they installed sticks out further than an OEM panel and as a result the passanger rear wheel looks bit tucked in (even though it alligns perfectly.

lol even the taillights dun match. because the install job was poor, the passanger taillight is angled a few degrees further up towards the sky than the drivers side taillight

1stG35inCTRY,

Я-бы на твоем месте поинтересовался если можно заменить погнутую хрень на аналогичную деталь он Ниссана Z и заплатил за нее из своего кармана. Z в отличии от Gшки в Европе продают, так-что тебе по крайней мере не придется заказывать деталь из США.

Удачи.

get some stronger **** man. If you plan on drifting much more order some good suspension and a clutch type diff too. Drifting= breaking lots of stuff. Better start stocking up on spare body panels, tie rods and multi link arms.........

This won't happen in autoX!!! AutoX is all about getting the best time and learning car control. These guys were being dumb thinking they were Takumi, and attempte to "drift" lol

Definitely shouldn't happen during any sort of autox event. Sliding into the curbs on a racetrack I can see doing some damage though...

P.S. will let you guys know how things turn out, it is now at the body shop... I hit some tires on the inside of the curb too yeah I know I am a rookie at the drift but it is how you build your experience

did you order new eccentric bolts also? I would replace those as well on both the camber arm and the spring bucket
