MERCH ► sammit.net FOLLOW ME ► @sammit01 Japan's got it right! Simple, affordable, and reliable angle for your drift car! Check out how these knuckles are made at Booster headquarters Ryusei's Company: BOOSTAR - en.boostar-69....
I would recommend going through an exporter in Japan to buy these (I personally use Jessestreeter.com) but if you want to know the drop downs I will explain. Top box is Basic or SPL, SPL just means the welds are ground back to look neater (this costs more). Second choice is what colour you want, green or black, green costs a little more. Third option is choice whether you are sending stock knuckles to be modified or whether you want them to supply you with ones to modify. Of course it costs more to have them supply the knuckle so you can tell which is which by the price change when you select each option. If you cannot read this level of Japanese I think you will need to use an exporter company though otherwise it will be to hard to arrange. Hope this helps someone :)
I always prefer OEM parts over 3rd party parts, and this is an economical approach to creating angle with the normal steering rack position. OEM parts can be more expensive, but this is due to the time spend developing and testing for quality. Contemporary OEMs are huge with respect to global scale, and must develop considerable investments in supply-chain infrastructure and development in order to keep their parts cost effective. This means making parts that are reliable across the globe, and easily sourced across the globe.
He's english is advance and good but I really wish you add subtitles in the future for some of us, I don't understand japanese but I'm learning as I go.
Hey Sam awesome vid as always love how you take us to places like this, have learnt so much watching your vids, I saw on the website it states for track use only, is that just a disclaimer as I'm wanting street/drift do you think these knuckles could be used in this way and if so any chance for a link to get the ones where we don't have to trade in cheers from Goldie Australia :)
It's just a disclaimer - use at your own risk basically. Any modified knuckle from Japan will say the same as cut knuckles will not pass their 2 yearly roadworthy inspection. If you want to buy these I recommend using a company like Jesse Streeter to help organise but the option for them to supply the knuckle is on their website.
Sam mentions breaking a knuckle in this video. And then in his latist video he broke the knuckle in his s15. (The knuckle that broke has no relations to the hard working guys in this video.)
I believe he recommended to stick with stock lca, rod and rack ends, max out your camber and use a straight style tension rod unless youre running a 265 in the front then youll need a curved one for wheel clearance
These guys are probably paying Sammit to be on his channel as promo but it doesn’t even feel like that or forced. The content is good and this channel is becoming a hidden gem.
One of my buddies a few years back brought a car from a fella in japan and it had the green knuckles on it. now i know where they came from and who they were built by. ill share this to him
