MA61 - RA65 Struts & Powersteering Arms conversion

[Negative Boost]

Thanks Matt, you know you want to do it on the white one!

I had the front up on stands tonight working on a few different things and turned the steering to full lock and took a step back to look at it from the front and thought, gee theres tonnes of lock! I already knew this but hadn't quite visualised it like this. Was going to take a picture but it was raining. And then i forgot when it stopped becuase i got carried away disembling and re-assembling brake master cylinders... I'll take a picture on monday and post it up.

if RA60 ps arms don't work on MA61 struts, how come an RA60 strut works on the MA61 p/s arm?

that's my current setup and after driving the GTR i need quicker steering.... so i just need to bang on some ra65 ps arms

[naten]

thought id dig up an old thread, just bought some sa63 struts

anyone know if i can run just the sa63 struts and not worry about the ps arms? and still get neg camber?

[CELICASUPRA7M]

you should still get the camber because thats caused by the strut and stub angle.

[Yian]

Yea you get camber. I didn't bother with the arms and just used the struts.

Are the MA61 and RA65 arms the same bolt pattern for the steering arm to strut interface? It looks like the picture which Ryley has made the RA65 is 170mm between holes, and the MA61 is 190mm. Although that could just be where its been mislabeled.

[CELICASUPRA7M]

just noticed that too, there's a pic in the very first post by negativeboost showing the differences, maybe you do need to fit the 65 steering arms????

[Yian]

Yea it was mislabeled. Bolt holes are 90mm apart for both '65 and '61. It's the total length that is different. Like I said before, I am using MA61 arms with '65 struts.

[takai]

Cool, sounds like i might go the other way, MA61 struts with 65 arms.

sweet thanks for the info guys

takai still gives you shitty camber though

Sigma arms and cambertops fixes that.

i was looking for this thread for years haha but i didnt have a clue what it was titled, but ive already had my non p/s arms reamed to suit sigma ball joints.
next time dammit !!

LC arms/steering arms/and struts the same?

[maccac__1590]
