    Sorry guys but I had to take it off skylineowners because driftworks are not vendors there. The rules are strict and there are a lot of other supporting vendors there who we need to look after. I'm going to have a chat with the other guys though because other vendors don't offer any similar products. Great product by the way :)

    Awesome kit for a very reasonable price. I fancy a 33 in the not to distant future and Hicas is one thing I am not to keen on having.

    Sounds cool, what would the difference be to a used everday ER34.... would this mod be more suitable for a proper drift setup off the street?

    Well obviously you get the normal HICAS removal which makes it more predictable and confidence inspiring.

    Aside from that it just means you'll never wear out the feeble little ball joints in the hub or the tie rods, they're not very strong and do wear out quicker than anything else on the back end. On my R32 I had just a lock bar for a while, until I snapped one of the tie rods in half driving "enthusiastically" around a corner one day with 255 semi-slicks on the car!!! I swapped subframes to acheive the same effect as our kit.

    Basically 1/2 of the kit is the normal hicas removal and the other 1/2 is removing any worn balljoints and making the whole rear end twice as strong. If you're going to remove the hicas this is a FAR better solution than a lock bar, and in the long run more cost effective.

    Just wondering if there are any pics yet of this fitted... I've seen lots of the "old" lockout bar and somehow I thought this included the bar as well, but as far as I can tell it doesn't. So now I'm wondering what it looks like :)

    With this can you run it without the lockout bar? I was gonna fit my lockout bar but if it means i need to fit these aswell then i will wait and get some of these too.

    Thanks John
