it transforms the handelling of the car. it takes it from being a nose heavy understeer prone lurch monster.. into a nimble agile shiet hot cornering rocket..

when you turn in.. it now does
when your mid turn you can squeeze the loud pedal and it goes faster - previously it would just slide away in a big understeer all day event.

it does this by sorting out the dodgy suspension geometry. when you turn in the suspension compresses and the wheels turn out.. thats bad...

so you don't get the full effect of the turn.. all the kit does is keep the wheels pointing where they are supposed to during cornering and it only costs about 120 quid.. from the guy on the forum.

best 120 quid i ever spent on the r..

its like having two c0cks..

Fitted the bumpsteer kit yesterday when I had a full alinement done, And I must say it does make a hell of a difference to turn in 8) :wink: .

Takes some getting used to though :oops: .

After I fitted mine it highlighted all the other worn parts of the front steering and suspension, so instead of costing me £120 it's ended up costing a fortune to have it all sorted :lol:

Will the bump steer kit work on a standard suspension/wheel set up?

Yep, it just replaces the standard Nissan track rod ends with rose jointed affairs !

If it's your first suspension mod, it's a good one. You'll notice the difference immediately !!

What bumpsteer kits are available. Ive heard the Gordon Kay one and powerstation ones have dodgy rose joints (read about in other thread). Is there any other makes available?

Nope :wink:

Go for Gordon's one. It's the best design, cheapest and when the rose joints wear out, they are fairly cheap to replace and easy to get hold of ! Just remember to order some dust boots and fill them with grease and they will last a lot longer :lol:

i have gordon's kit, but had to shorted the thread on the rose joint of about 5mm because it wasn't possible to adjust the toe alignemet because steering rack rods come into contact with the rose joint...anyone had this problem?
