Ive been looking around and i cant find much, does anyone have some good sites?

Dousan_PG · 03-06-2003, 10:31 AM

bozzspeed
greddy

both import cusco. cusco.co.jp (imguessing onthe site) puts bozzspeed as their US importer of parts.

beyond that

enjuku
jspec (ocassaionly has stuff)
and google.com to find stuff

what part are you lookign for?

u can find similar parts from other companies with same quality and cheaper price.

Zemus · 03-06-2003, 10:40 AM

Bozzspeed sites are all in jap. But thanks, im find peices here and their, one day i want my car to 100% Cusco suspention parts, one day

, Also a Cusco LSD, thats what i want first, what are the best sites to find those at

dousan go on aim

Dousan_PG · 03-06-2003, 10:43 AM

some brotha's gotta work!!! ack
bozzspeed hmm ill find the US site..

ack cusco? weak!!!
its all the same
japan just rebadges stuff

serious
email battleversion get those parts. ITS JUST AS GOOD AND SAME
dont get caughtin the bling factor!

lsd? its the same as nismo! bleh, why waste the money!
its all the same
japan one company maes it everyone else rebadges it.

its like section and cusco
same coilover but section is cheaper!!!!

buy a kaaz or email jspec for a nismo

you get:
USA support
and w/ nismo you can get a FULL KIT (shafts and all)

when you get the cusco (lsd only) no one will knowwhat output shafts to use. if you use the wrong one..whopps, you just destroyed a 1k unit! bye bye!

dont buy all cusco. you can get SOO Many cheaper items at EXACT same quality.

Humm, crazy, if you could, can you make me a list of the best qualirty parts for the price, cuz i dont want to get ripped off and ofcourse im not ready to buy right now, i want to do research, but if you could, would you make me a list, if you want :-D

Dousan_PG · 03-06-2003, 11:02 AM

ok sure

tc rods and rear suspension parts

bushings are for the weak!!!!!!

www.battleversion.com

not only is alex a great and nice guy but he's very excellent drifter and knowledgable
i would get all things he has for the s13. well made and maybe you can work out a deal with him if you buy all at once!!!!
alex is very friendly (and funny-humor wise).

sway bars
im anti sway bars. i had whiteline and hated it. back to stock and loving it. car handles far better. in japan, most never upgrade their sway bars. w/ good stiff suspension body roll is already eliminated. sway bars just arent that necessary with good weight tranfser skills and coilovers w/ high spring rates

LSD
Kaaz-excellent USA support, a big plus
Nismo
ATS (i can find out website later and post)

i suggest nismo because you can get a full kit (lsd, oil, side shafts-both, gasket, directions, etc). email jspec for that stuff. sam's da man

Seats:
sparco is cheapest, but their seat rails SUCK donkey dookies
bride comes to usa soon, so hold off for that.

Coilovers
tein is ok
but i would take JIC
but since JIC USA is a bunch of pricks
i would say go back to Tein.
zeal is better but $$$
apex is great but $$$
gp sports is good, high spring rates but if streetability is NO concern, i'd say go (12/10kg no damper) might have damperones soon i hear
go jspec and get some kei office or kazama ones
koguchi uses kei office on the red 180sx (the one that was in the USA sunday)
kazama (the driver) uses kei office coilovers
kei office is set up to Keiichi's specs.
hks is way over priced. unless you can get dealer cost, it snot worth the extra $$

um.....what else am i missing?

order i say to buy:

engine maintenance
tires brake pads rotors (you dont need z32 unlesss you are HIGH SPEED DRIFTER)
LSD
coilovers
dump the bushings on the stock arms

check out

www.splparts.com

and go nuts. so pricey but so sweet. great business from everything i've heard from people.

Zemus · 03-06-2003, 11:53 AM

ies:

Thanks alot man

pruto · 03-06-2003, 05:15 PM

wow aaron, you are in a damn good mood... no "go use the search function damn newbie!" or "you're car is rice, you're buying cusco just for the stickers!".

i'm happy for you man

btw, i'm going to PM you this question...

Dousan_PG · 03-06-2003, 05:37 PM

Oni is serious and wants to get into it all. i hate newbs who have no clue. oni knows enough.

hurleyboi514 · 03-07-2003, 12:44 AM

i like the SPL site, very nice... i really want one of everything that Kazzama makes!

Its true, i know enought, i just know more about engine components then suspention. but currently i dont need anymore power, and i already do drifting at the autox course, (mine has a section for drifting) with a totaly stock car, ive pushed it to the limites, and then some, and ive had my car for like a year now, and it needs a change.

i will be soon

its designed for drifting though, and VERY uncomfortable fo street
you are removing the bushings on the tie rod endlinks. so basically you are giving your car MORE bumpsteer. no more play in the wheels left and right. also much more responsive. so using two hands on the wheel will be a necessity. of cousre mine's already like that..****. dorifto rode in my car. haha..not a pleasureable expirience for long trips! damn, i need a daily driver!! lol

Archangel · 03-07-2003, 11:34 AM

for cusco parts, check out:
http://www.japanparts.com
http://takakaira.co.jp
(its a japanese site, but its all in english, and prices are in US$)

BTW Jspec.com has some Kazama control arms in their new shipment section for the 240.
