GKTECH 350Z/G35 FRONT CONTROL ARMS + BRAKE UPGRADE!!
มุมมอง 9893 ปีที่แล้ว
Today, we install GKtechs 1pc front lower control arms and finish the brake system up front! These lower control arms are amazing! With their 1pc design, it eliminates the live caster issue that these cars have from the factory. The caster is now set at 9 degrees at any point from lock to lock which means your car will FINALLY feel normal on track or on the street! A great modification for any ...

Where did you get your aluminum oil pan????
This is the ISR 350Z LS swap oil pan! You can order it from DriftHQ, Enjuku Racing, and many other websites! It works in conjunction with ISR’s engine/transmission mounts to seat the engine as far back to the firewall as possible while still allowing good clearance to maintain the engine once it’s in the car!
What did you use to connect the leds to the battery?
*Promo sm*
How about we put a front bumper on that thing.
Next season it’s getting a bumper! Already in the works. I had to live out the bash bar front for while. But I’m ready to have a front bumper again!
Imagine driving a 2 door sedan 😂🤡
Two door sedan? How you figure?
Fax
All essentials though..right? 🥴😂
🤙🤙🤙
Glad your doing well brother 🤘
Hey man! Thanks dude! Hopefully you’re doing well too!
ongodt
What do you have for your static toe setting?
I wondered this too when I bought the kit and reached out to Arthur bell himself (owner of BR) and he said to put the arm in the middle hole and get it aligned at 0 degrees. From there, you can adjust on the fly at events based on what your grip needs require.
@@NickBerte402 thanks so much.. sick content 🤙🏾
@@ryanmcburrows8051 thanks man! I appreciate that! Clearly I’ve been slacking for awhile but hoping to get back in the groove this year!
@@NickBerte402 so leave it at 0 toe and run this kit?
@@DannyR2681 if you run this kit, get it aligned with 0 degree toe in the rear on the middle hole. Then fine tune toe in/out and whichever hole you want to run for each event/track for the best tire wear possible! Hope that helps
How does it drift compared to before ? Tire wear ? Etc...
I haven’t driven a ton of events since it was installed. I took this year off from driving but the two events I drove last year, you could definitely notice a difference! I think my camber settings need some more work to get the max wear out of the tread but I was getting like 90% of the tread. Just for fun I put it on the max grip setting and that was the fastest my car ever was!
@@NickBerte402 awesome! Also, I assume this doesn't really affect side bite grip, as that is mostly off throttle grip... but instead just gives you more forward bite ?
@@spicysinglecam correct! Though it may help marginally, the kit is designed for on throttle grip. If you decide to run this, I’d also recommend SPL rear shock heim bushings to replace the factory Z ones. They are able to rotate much more freely and allow the grip kit to do an even better job!
@@NickBerte402 awesome 👌. And it's actually going on my 240 lol
@@spicysinglecam did you end up using this on your 240sx? I have a s13 and looking to doing this as well. Did you have aggressive toe in with this kit or normal toe and this kit?
What brackets did you use for the kit
Of you’re talking about caliper brackets, I used the GKTECH ones. They give me the option to run the regular calipers for now and then if I wanted to run brembos down the line, I can. Plus they were affordable!
You got a number bro so I can reach out for soem info or an ig page?
@@zoepena6678 my channel pry has more info than any IG posts. But my IG is @_RUINED_
Looks hella good but that process looks long
Yeah. That’s one gripe I’d have with the kit. More expensive kits are usually just the LED strips and then all the wiring has connectors that plug into the strips which makes it easier to wire manage. But for 40 bucks and a few hours of my time, I can’t complain!
Its not tacky if you love it! Doesnt matter what others say! Its you who matters to be happy 😊
Exactly! The underglow makes me feel like a little kid again!
Where did you get the inline fuse? How did you install it?
The inline fuse I actually just got from my dads shop. But I believe Oriellys sells them too for around $10 bucks. And the kit I used came with open power and ground leads to connect how I wanted so I just ran the inline fuse in between the underglow wiring and the battery.
The inline fuse goes in the positive right?! Not the negative?? Just want to make sure i do this right, awesome video bro🔥
Clean set up man, I didn’t even think about doing a remote master. That makes it way more serviceable, I’m going to have to copy this for when I do it to my Z!
You genuinely a genius. Also great job explaining how you did everything and something very similar will be going in my car. Thanks for the awesome video
Dude! Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it! And I’m glad it helped you make a plan for your car! 👍🏻
So did you mount the mounting plate at an angle? Or did you make a spacer to keep it level?
Hey man! Thanks for watching! So I just had mine go straight forward and backward with the tunnel. The mounting plate didn’t sit completely flat on the tunnel but I was able to adjust the handle to still be straight up and down. I was able to weld it on the front, side, and some on the rear and after this season of drifting, it did great!
Pretty dope. But I wonder if this will work with an aluminum undershroud?
It would but I would just use the brackets and small screws to attach it so that if the undershroud needs to come off, the underglow strip can be unscrewed and lowered before the shroud. Good luck! If you decide to do it, tag me on IG @_ruined_ I’d love to see how it turned out for you!
how are you liking this hand brake. im about to buy one for my miata
Dude the handbrake is awesome! The sideways reservoir was nice for tucking it in under the dash and the pull feels awesome! Just make sure if you plan on running a dual caliper setup to get some quality brake pads the handbrake calipers. I run powerstop track day pads in mine. Also thanks for the sub man! ❤️
CLEAN AFFFFFFFFFFF
Im looking at a 2002 z directly from japan it looks pretty clean silver but i dont how long it has ben under it quite dirty on the outside should i go for it
Why would you import a z to the US? I’d just find one stateside that suits your needs and price range and start there.
Im not in the us i need a right hand drive
Do you think this would work with the akebono calipers?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! You might have more clearance issues with the back of the calipers and the shock but that’s easily solved by either extending the lower heims out or running a small spacer.
@@NickBerte402 Right on 🤙🏻 Thanks man
Dude, that is awesome, what year is she?
2003! DE baby! Appreciate it dude!
Nice! I'm lookin at a white 2005 DE
@@z33hayden23 super cool dude! Hopefully it’s the one for you!
Thank man👍
You stole my name....LOL nice channel.
Found your channel pal, I’ll be sure to watch all your stuff!
Thanks man! I appreciate the support brother!
We helped develop those check out luke fink you tube all ways got new z gear in the vlogs
Will do man! Luke is a cool dude and has great values! So far I love them! I get an alignment this week and I’m going on the first long drive this weekend!
@@NickBerte402 awsome luke was my best mate when i was a kid i mooved to Queensland from Melbourne and lost contact then went to archy 15 years later and there he was been running a muck ever since we're struggling to keep the track atm and trying to do another one but that's on the dl both of us are hopefully doing drift week this year ill have a chat to luke you might be our man state side to do some 350 g35 stuff for us and do the content that's how luke got on the algorithm doing lz car then when people look up drift week you will pop up ill get t to look you up on ig
@@DirtySlapper99 I’d love to do drift week! My car could handle it but in Aaron’s eyes it’s not exciting enough. The other thing holding me back is the cost! But man it’d be an experience for the books! None the less if your ever close to me, for sure stop by! We can go hit some street spots or maybe rent out my local track for the day or something! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I really liked when you said the stuff about those things. Well done 🤌🏻
Yeah. Combine the stuff with the thing and you get a recipe for success! 💪🏻😅

You know it man! I’m editing this Friday’s video today!
Them wheels look dope. Just subbed
Thanks man! They definitely fill in the wheel wells better than my last wheels. Also, I appreciate the sub!
Make more videos man!!
I plan on posting weekly on Fridays @ Noon. Just one video a week to start.
Great video dude! Keep them going!!
Thanks man! I’m thinking of doing underglow for a future video!
I definitely wish I can go with you. I never been drifting
Slow&Steady Nation I’ll hit you up for the first event next year and we can make it happen!
Nick Berte heck ya
Nick Berte where are you from
Slow&Steady Nation dog you know me! Haha. Facebook me
Nick Berte I know. I just had a brain fart
let’s gooooo!!
Great vid!
That's crazy how much it opened up! Could you give us an update on the garage? Curious to see where it's at now and any future plans?
Hell yeah dude!
Awesome!
head up display still in the car! very nice!
michael carson thank you man! I’m trying to keep as much interior as possible because I want this to ALWAYS be a street car. Even after it’s caged.. I’m having my cage built around my door panels so I’ll still have that full interior feel. Sadly it won’t have any interior from the front seats backwards after cage. 😔
Subbed man 👍 body kit looks sick!

I dont remember if I said it in this video or not but Im friends with Caleb now! I'm planning on going up to Kentucky sometime next year do a video shooting guns with him and having him drift my 350Z!
Wassup bro. Like the video, but try to have footage of what you're talking about to keep the audience entertained. Car checks are my fav btw so I'm looking forward to those. Keep it up bro we need more car youtubers
