hey guys im looking to do sfldrifters a favor and at the same time rise some money for my next project.

i have all the tools and abilities to cut and weld 240 steering knuckles to give you guys alot more angle when you drift. im looking to have a system in witch i have the knuckles ready to be picked up and all u would have to do is bring me your stock knuckles plus 150 and ill give you a set of moded knuckles ready to be bolted up. if not ill be selling them for 200 with out a core.

to start off im gona need a set of s13 knuckles to start off with. if anyone is willing to donate a set ill do that first set for 50 bucks and another pair of stock knuckles.

also going to be including reinforced lower control arms so i will be needing a set of those to to get evrything rolling.

same thing goes for s14 knuckles but im also gona need some one with an s14 to let me take thier wheels off and take some measurements to get all ackerman angles in order to make the first batch work right.
 
just a quick question... would i need any supporting suspension parts to get this jdm tyte angle, or can i run stock tie rods, and toe rod ends and what not? i may be asking the wrong question here or asking about the wrong parts, but if i can get hella sick jdm tyte angle with not other modifications i will let you do mine!!!!!!
 
true that!!! lol, but he was talking about doing it for me and matt on the down low!!! nahmean.... but yeah im not worried about angle at all. got enough of it when i did drift! that seems like it was before ww2
 
according to the pbm tech in cali and the site the jdm dudes rock stock tierods, they only beef up the inners but thats not a nesesity. u will need to order pbm rack and pinion to inner tie-rod spacers but thats only 7 bucks, this lets more threading go in to the outer tie-rod cus when the angle mod is done alot of the thread is lost.

im ready to start this thing but i need a 2nd set, im down to do it to matt but then i dont get a 2nd set to keep moding and selling..... need some one with 2 sets. one to mod and one for me
 
yeah dude, other ppl do them for a bill. i think for you, like $75-$100 should be a good price.
 
well considering you have never done it once and you dont have a jig to weld them on they are going to come out uneven as all crap and you have never done it once so the first customer is going to get the shits of the batch...


Tertech does them and has a full jig to properly weld them on he charges $100 and has been welding before any of us were born

wtf n i g g a came up as stars but no other curse word does lol at that
 
instead of locking this thread i moved it to tech when you have interest and pics and figure out whether youll do it you can post it in fs section.
 
unless ur a certified welder and have been welding for a LONG time i wouldnt do this, if this fails its someones life and its a huge liability, hence why pbm makes u sign a waiver
 
btw... Harri/tertech did mine. I hit a WALL with the front left corner and I broke a tension rod (aftermarket) and the steering rack broke in half, and i bent the shit out of the tie rod...

steering knuckle didnt break or bend or crack, its on the new shell. harri's got really strong welds and has done them a bit now so he has the length and angles of the weld pretty well perfect.

I dont think this is even using the full angle here, its getting close though.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOk. I'm gonna have to drop my 2 cents in this thread unfortunately. People, Roberto (metalrocks12) Has a vast background in welding. In fact, this is his father's business and all Roberto ever did was learn from his father. I find it very disappointing how even the veterans can be so close minded. Yes, I understand Harri is awesome and his work is immaculate. But realize that a knuckle mod is not brain surgery and anybody with a decent amount of experience in welding can do it. Options need to expand and Ter-Tech is NOT the only person in the U.S to the angle mod. It's called competition people. Learn to live with it. And for the people who mentioned that it could possibly become a liability? Well, i'm sure that if you DAILY your 240 your a broke ass so you shoudln't even be in this thread regardless unless your 240 is your track whore. If Harri charges $100 and Roberto $150 well until further notice, Harri has him beat.

ooooooooook

not to trying to step on toes but even HARRI himself admitted its more about the position and length you re-weld the spindles at- and being even side to side. if you do too much or too little it would be unusable or not much of a mod. now, until Roberto does some testing, he might not get the correct position and lengths right and could have it where tie rods dont go far enough, or the rack gets over extended, or the tie rods are at some funky angle. im not saying he cant figure it out either, but its not as easy as being able to weld.

not to mention, there HAS been others who did the mod and had things fail. i dont know if it was weld skill, or the geometry they screwed up.

if you are going to start out new and make a name for yourself- you might need to make it cheaper than the competitor thats already proven correct work. he should also think about making them for other cars, not just 240s, who need them too.

Agreed. Yes you are absolutely right. Roberto failed to mention that he himself has his own knuckle mod on his z32 currently and has yet to fail him (don't take my word for it but this is what we talked about). I'll talk to him later today about his pricing and also to post some proof of his work. I'm sure that he will be attending the next county line event where other drivers can witness his work in person as well as in action.
