The
V2
GKTECH Super
Lock
R32/R33/R34/Z32
Front
knuckles
have
been
developed
with
the
learnings
from
our
previous
V1
aluminium
knuckles
and
we
now
present
a
light
weight,
sheet
metal
design
after
hundreds
of
hours
of
FEA
(Finite
Element
Analysis)
to
improve
the
strength
of
the
product
but
also
keep
the
weight
down.
With
65+
degrees
of
steering
lock
being
able
to
be
achieved
with
ease
whilst
keeping
a
linear
steering
response
these
knuckles
are
suited
to
drift
or
circuit
racers.

Installation
Notes:
-
For
Z32
owners
these
knuckles
are
designed
on
using
a
J-arm
top
bearing
with
I.D
of
28mm,
this
is
98%
of
all
J-arms,
but
may
be
worth
checking
to
ensure
it
is
a
straight
fit.
If
not,
the
28mm
I.D
bearing
can
be
purchased
and
will
be
needed.
-
Also
for
Z32
owners,
these
knuckles
will
only
work
with
the
use
of
either
OEM
S/R
outer
tie
rod
ends,
or
ours
which
can
be
seen
here
-

-
Only
suits
RWD
steering
setups.
GTS-4
and
GTR
front
suspension
setups
are
different
and
these
knuckles
will
NOT
work
with
them.
-
When
using
R34
front
brake
calipers
the
mounting
holes
need
to
be
drilled
out
from
12mm
to
14mm
(there
is
enough
material
to
cater
for
the
increase
in
hole
diameter).

FAQS
How
hard
are
these
to
fit?
They
are
quite
easy
to
install
but
mechanical
knowledge
is
certainly
required. Remove
your
standard
knuckles,
press
out
the
old
hubs,
press
the
hubs
into
the
new
knuckles
and
the
knuckles
will
bolt
straight
in.
Do
you
make
knuckles
for
other
cars?
We
make
knuckles
for
S
and
R
chassis
Nissans,
we
don't
make
them
for
any
other
cars.
How
much
angle
can
I
get
from
these
knuckles?
Depending
on
the
width
and
offset
of
your
rims,
and
whether
you're
running
standard
lower
control
arms
or
notched/modified
lower
control
arms
(or
standard)
you
will
see
between
60
degrees
-
70
degrees
of
steering
lock.
Are
these
suited
to
circuit/grip
racing?
Yes,
absolutely.
The
weight
saving
and
the
roll
center
and
bump
steer
correction
is
great
for
additional
front
end
grip
and
the
steering
arm
length
means
quite
linear
steering.
Do
I
need
to
do
any
other
modifications
to
get
the
most
from
these
knuckles?
Yes,
notched
lower
control
arms
or
atleast
modified
bump
stops
will
help.
Rack
spacers
are
recommended
or
alternatively
longer
tie
rods
or
some
of
our
tie
rod
ends
(adjustable
length).
Note
that
of
all
of
the
steering
racks,
the
R33
steering
rack
provides
the
least
amount
of
travel
so
if
you
are
chasing
every
last
degree
of
angle,
swapping
to
an
R32
steering
rack
will
give
a
few
more
degrees
of
lock.
