Planned features:~100% machined steel - no casting components~drop spindle~pillowball replacements for all bushings~improved strength~independent hydrobrake caliper bracketas some of you know I destroyed my OEM rear knuckle which is some motivation for this, that and I think its a badass part to make.the carnage the Jig in processThe limiting factor of how much we can raise the spindle to drop the car seems to be the interaction between the RUCA arm and the axle boot.Our current RUCA arm is upswept already especially designed for lowered cars so if you even try to do a drop spindle on someone elses RUCA your pretty much f@cked. we disconnected the coilover and jacked up the wheel all the way to take a look at the most extreme clearance situation:And then we put it back to a normal suspension compression and measured againIt seems like 3/4" drop spindle is the happy medium because it looks like half an inch is totally safe and 1 inch is the max. with the half inch subframe risers its already a big difference so this should be a great mod for suspension performance on extra low cars.If we wanted to take it farther we would have to sweep the arm up on the RUCA more or get a custom slim boot for the axle, but I'm betting as is its going to make a huge difference without going any farther.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA I saw that video however there was no mention or image of the rear knux in it. The speedhunters interview, ya thats sweet, what a good guy to give the shout out. Tuerck says "I’ve taken it upon myself to adjust the suspension as well as other things myself and I’ve made the car competitive this year compared to how it has been in years past. In fact it’s probably one of the best 240s I ever drifted just from the simple fact that it’s got a lot of really nice parts on it.....Part Shop Max hooked us up with their rear-drop knuckles that helps out with the bump-steer correction. I never had that kind of stuff on a 240 before. From a competition standpoint I had high-end parts when I was driving for Gardella but I’d never had that before on a 240sx, so it’s one of the best cars with that particular chassis."thats a cool pic of the car squatting, maintaining a very vertical rear wheel travel path due to the MAX rear knuckle.

Hard lines can be found at the local auto parts store for cheap & are way too long to ship conveniently. You will notch the RUCA for a larger axle boot, and fill in the open tube space where it was cut by welding a flat plate in there.

I really like the idea of a separate caliper bracket for a hydro e-brake. However, you should also make extensions for this for people who upgrade rotor size. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA The concept that is presented in the video (1:07), as pointed out on the front spindle is sound and simple, "by moving the spindle up without changing any of these geometry points..." (you lower the car without fu@king up the geometry plain and simple.)However it appears that the same simple logic may not be used in the creation of their rear knuckle because the lower arm appears moved down in addition to the spindle moving up. Please correct me if im wrong.I dont think the rear axle is raised up 50mm, it looks to be around 30mm no more than 35mm. Maybe the car is lowered by 50mm because some of that is from dropping the coilover/lca mount and some is moving the hub up but from my observations above you would be hard pressed to move the axle and its boot up more than 25mm before it hits our arm, and to my knowledge no ones RUCA is upswept like ours so im thinking its not possible to move the axle up said 50mm and maintain clearance with conventional axle boots and RUCA. The relationship between the rear arms at the knuckle attachment points should probably not be moved or it will change the path the wheel dives under suspension travel. Our 330mm rotors come with caliper brackets Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Ofc.

Those would need to be extended too.Looks boss. You think these will weight less than a stock upright?I've always wanted to have all pillow-ball bushing in the rear.

Better suspension geometry will probably pay bigger dividends in performance compared to a few pounds.

the caliper bracket is modular so you can have one or two. Its up to personal preference. Im gonna go ahead and test the dual setup and see if it makes a difference isolating the functions and making the hoses a more direct route. I bet its easier to bleed the hydro, thats always a bitch.

None of them are catered to extremely low cars, they just don't adjust far enough to make a big difference. You would also be able to adjust the track.If you guys made some LCAs with nice spherical bearings and heim joints I would be extremely interested in a set. I'd rather buy nice ones then start welding up my own, but I may end up doing it this winter. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA I think we should do both. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 WishIHadaSilvia Oh definitely. That way your FLCAs are designed in a way to work with your super angle knuckles/super angle knuckles in general (ie not get hit by them). They could be made to work specifically with your rear knuckles as well. I mean I would buy the knuckles just to get the spherical bearing replacement on all of the arms, and I would definitely get your control arms if they could adjust roll center enough (you need a good 2-3" of adjustment I think).Just be sure if you do control arms that you use an inclosed spherical bearing for the joint that mounts to the spindle instead of a heim joint. It would put the rod end in bending at that location (but it is fine on the inside mounting part by the subframe).An easy way to go for the control arms would be to just pick up a bunch of nice spherical bearings (QA1, Aurora, something like that) and weld in housings for them and make a bolt that has the right taper for our spindles. They make lots of stuff like this for stock cars, but nothing in our taper. Here's a website with the different parts on it that you would need to completely replace the ball joint:http://www.pitstopusa.com/SearchResult.aspx?CategoryID=2561I was going to go with the parts from that page and just get the spindle bored out to the Chevy taper, or get a straight bolt and drill out the taper all together. It would not be as strong or secure but I doubt it would fail so long as you had a strong enough bolt. Then just take out the ball joint, weld in the bearing housing, press the bearing in, slap a c-clip in there and bolt it up. This could be done on a stock control arm pretty easily with just some reinforcing and you could put a heim joint on the other end like the kit battle version offers. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 mattheripper Dan at MAX USA wrote ...since they will be drop spindles I wonder why you want to change the relationship of the coilover mount to the other points.Well I'm not sure if the s chassis stuff goes lower than the r32 stuff I got, but I set the coilovers all the way down via the bottom adjustable perch thing, along with set at full droop, and I still wanted a bit lower. Now I never drove like this as it would have bottomed out the shock easily from what I could see of the shock. So I just got some used Tien coilovers till I figure out something to make up the difference. I would like to be able to work with preload when I do put the MAX ones back in. Essentially I either raise the top mount for the coilovers, or when I buy these you drop the lower coilover mount(preferred). I don't see a difference in the two as far as suspension geometry...and I don't really care if there is. I just want low.This is the same story for front and rear. My Uncle co-owns a machine/welding shop up here in Calgary and I'm going to see if he'll be able to do something on some spare parts to address the front. And I do see what your saying with the drop spindle, however whatever the difference is, with the r32 coilovers 3/4" is not enough to get where I want in the rear. Not mad, the coilovers look great, just don't know what's up and want to use them. Also I realize I have a platform you guys don't focus as much on too, and this might just be the case with most places r32 stuff too. Just trying to figure out solutions so I can run the stuff AND be hideously low like Matt & Tommy but with my 4door. Thanks and you guys are great, I love all your stuff.

Nice work there I have been looking into modding my rear knuckles.The driftworks ones are nice but i canlt afford them and they aren't available yet. When they come out I think they will be about £700 which isn't bad for the time and development that goes into these things.They alter the spindle height by 35mm on the rear and 50mm on the front.The sai/kpi has been altered on the front to help keep the wheel upright on full lock.Kev Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 JankiS13 Any updates on this?

Release date & price to be announced. ~ TRUE 25mm drop (distance between upper and lower mount points has not changed to create a fake drop at the coilover)~ Corrects roll center on slammed cars~ Eliminates camber gain on compression to maintain traction and even tire wear~ Maintains OEM toe in / traction increase upon compression~ 2Lbs lighter per knuckle than stock yet way stronger~ Teflon lined spherical bearings for traction rod, toe rod and upper control arm with 4 year free replacement guarantee~ Uses stock foot brake caliper, parking brake and rotor to maintain stock brake Bias and to keep conversion cost down~ Has mounting bracket for Optional Wilwood dynapro billet dual piston hand brake caliper. ($260/pair with pads) ~ Optional MAX hand brake with independent Wilwood master and reservoir. ($240)~ Lifetime guarantee against manufacturers defects~ Conforms to Formula D rules for suspension and independent secondary brake system~ Compatible with all OEM and aftermarket arms, rods and coilovers. You have to raise the coilover a little over an inch to be at the same ride height you were at beforeThis puts the arms pretty much paralell to the ground and relaxes the axle angle so they dont break Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA No plans for R33, the extra calipers are an option that can be purchased with the knuckles Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 so-cash Will you be doing these for R33?

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA Since it uses the stock foot brake system, any bolt on adapter will work with its larger rotor, but if you use the second caliper fo rthe hand brake you will end up welding a new mounting position for it.Since the stock brake system is capable of locking all 4 wheels the GTR brakes would just be for looks on a drift car. There would be an actual braking advantage on a circuit racing machine.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 LoFoSho When somebody gets theirs and has them installed with brake lines run, post up picks please! Dan, will you guys be selling a brake line kit for the individual calipers and hydro ebrake? I see the 'inline' kit option in the shopping cart, but nothing for the independent setup. Have any better pics and specs on the brake lines used on the kit you have pictured on the r32? Its hard to see where the lines are ran, but I can see that they go under the axle and seem to meet up with the stock lines. What size braided line and which fittings do we need to purchase to mate to the willwood calipers? I'm sure I could purchase all the fittings and line through Earls, but I have not a clue what sizes they are and wont until I order the calipers. Would be nice to know so that everything can be purchased at once.Fantastic work, as always.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Hollywood yeah yasko you dont need a parkin brake for anything even for your conveniance you can make a lock system to lock the hydro in place to act as a parking brake. formula drift nor any other drifting sanction require a mech hand brake/parking/e brake.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA It certainly does not force you to go hydro, you can keep the original brake system and ignore the secondary brake system altogether. Formula D requires the secondary braking system to be an independant system.We have evaluated the Z drum brake and it will require a change of the gusset on the RLCA lower mount but its possible. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Yasko For a safety/dmv inspection road legal. Haven't really looked up a locking mechanism for hydro brakes, i just know you need to have a parking brake that locks...Edit: @Dan - I meant if you already have the Z32 setup, i can understand if you have the stock setup though seeing as it uses the same caliper. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 o.g.darkdrifter I've heard even with a system to keep the hyrdo locked it's not preffered to actually use it in any situation where you would need to use a traditional parking brake. Like on steep hills or driveways, or whan parked in front or back of another car. Apparently they lose pressure over time and allow the car to move. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Hollywood as dan stated secondary to be independent not that the factory parking is a required piece. you can still run inline. all though it has adverse affects to standard braking. im all for the new secondary kit. will make things much more efficient. which im all about!! hey will these work on a r32 ? someone just asked me about them.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA The hydrobrake we sell can be locked using the adjustable stop screw on the base structure. But it's not preferred to a cable brake for parking because it's relying on a seal. I would not say inline has adverse effects unless you crank on both the footbrake and handbrake at the same time as hard as you can. Only if the 32 is the same as s chassis. Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Hollywood eh guess not so much adverse as chaning the pedal characteristics and i ask you cuz i thought you would know about the 32 lol bu i think it is dont quote me on that.

From our experience with the stock caliper is really large on the back side so I fear it may interfere with the toe rod mount or the coilover lower mount. Also I dont know the shape of the adapter or the size of the brake disc to determine if we did mock up another stock caliper mount if it would send the final caliper location in the correct direction. if I were you I would fab a bracket to use the lightweight caliper on the big brakes second position because the stock one is too heavy to run two.

I can use this set up with z32 rear calipers and rotors correct? but I will lose my drum brake capabilities right...does the wilwood caliper work with z32 rotors?edit: idk if your familiar with the bolt on kit george sells on zilvia...but i have 4 z32 calipers and if i can just use his bolt on kit with your knuckle i would just do that since i have most of the parts already.

I know its another $340 for all that stuff but this knuckle is a good excuse to step up your game to a professional dual caliper system with the superior control of the short stroke hand brake next to the steering wheel.

I have the fronts and they seem alright, like strong and good lock however were annoying to install cos everything has so much powdercoat. Made my bolts for caliper not fit and rotor didnt align perfectly with caliper till i sanded some off etc. Avoided the rears when i read that the PBM could only achieve a 25mm drop when driftworks claims 50mm.Is there a willwood caliper for handbrake that would be compatible with the z32 rotor? I believe its 297mm x 18mm.

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Hollywood from what i experienced the car is verry un stable at full lock and you have to fight the car extremely hard to pull it away from lock. this is in comparison to ma knucles and the pbm knucles as well. i think this is the case becase the angle of the tie rod is straight up and down rather than tilted in slightly which takes away from the pulling power. also they were a pile of shit to line everything up seemed like nothing wanted to go on properly. fronts or rears. either way dan expect a call from me today !

Re: Rear knuckle for s chassis http://www.partsshopmax.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?5048 2024-03-29T07:12:37+00:00 Dan at MAX USA the drum brake is not getting any love from us right now, but we are actively producing a Dual Z32 caliper type for Z32 disc.

Does the stock S13 parking brake rely on the caliper piston/seal when parking brake is in use?

So no, the brake lines don't apply pressure to the pads via the caliper.On a side note, I ordered my rear drop knuckles the day or day after they were released.Installed them along with solid subframe bushings, adjustable control arms, and the front angle kit as well.The car drives awesome and now has a ton more rear grip while drifting. I also daily drive my car and it handles more predictably over bumps in the road now from reduced bump steer in the front and some corrected geometry in the rear.Some of the runs from the last drift day I did with front SAK and rear drop knuckles installed:Car performed flawlessly all day and even on the super rough surface of this place was able to hold my line all day compared to most who were struggling. Thanks for an awesome product!I posted the links since on the preview its not showing the videos. Hopefully when this posts it will have the videos embeded.
