Calmini Suspension Kit - Anyone Know About It?
SkinnyPedal replied to pathy689's topic in The Garage
Yup, they are the same. http://www.roughcountry.com/nissan_hardbody.asp -
Looks like the bushing sleeves won't fit over the spindles...we called the support line and he said to open up the inside of the sleeves some more :confused: Anybody else experienced this with these arms/bushings?

Calmini Suspension Kit - Anyone Know About It?
SkinnyPedal replied to pathy689's topic in The Garage
What Simon said...if I had it to do over again, it's what I'd do! As he mentioned, plan on changing the UCA bushings frequently. If you do want to go Calmini, I have a really cheap set of UCA's for you! My RCs are going in tomorrow. -
Manual transmission TSB

If anybody around Toronto is looking for Red Line MT-90, Precision Tuning Motorsports at the South-East corner of Keele and Steeles stocks it. 2901 Steeles Ave. West, Unit 30 (Mapquest and Google Maps shows this location at Winston Churchill and Steeles!) Toronto, ON M3J 3A5 (416)514-0284 Just don't buy it all up by Wednesday when I get over there to pick up my 5 quarts. BTW, it is $13.99 a quart! -thnkboutit- -
Well local guy #1 fabbed a bunch and sold them to local guy #2. Local guy #2 welded it to my tire carrier. It was an issue finding the can that it was made for, but they are all over the place in the US. Guy #2 still has a bunch of the holders, but after shipping from Canada, you might be better off finding something local IMO. Good luck, post pics when you get it all rigged up!

Pretty sure this is the idea you're after:
-
Make THIS part of your route and you will not be sorry. Rather than what Google Maps is suggesting, take the longer ferry to Newfieland and it will land you closer to St. John's.

No lube even, bone dry! Not even the courtesy of a reacharound $26.25 GST (fair enough) $39.10 BROK FEE (face getting red) $2.35 GST ON BROK FEE (for some reason, this is the one that gets me worked up) Anyhoo, my rule of thumb is to prepare myself for double the cost I see on any US-based web site, and it is still below that, so I am happy-"ish". I will be happy-"er" when my truck steers straight again and I forget about all of the costs.
-
Well they showed up today. Good delivery time and great looking product...however, UPS pulled another $70 out of my wallet for my good friends in Ottawa.
-
Hmmm, whore myself out AND save $$ on parts? And to think I have been doing it for free all these years.
-
How'd you manage that? Aren't you a Canuck as well?
-
Give me a couple of years and I'll give my opinion on the TCs , but until then all I can tell you is that the Calminis are not worth the $$. Since I noticed my bushings were shot, I have been reading around and have not heard anything positive about them. That I didn't know...good to hear.
-
Yeah I think that's too much...I paid just over $200 shipped to Canada. Are you calling them directly? I think the UCAs themselves were $150-something and the rest is shipping. You should expect to pay around $20 for shipping.
-
I assume you have Calmini bushings? Thanks for the offer, but I just ordered a set of RC's yesterday.
-
Haha! No doubt! My L&P CL has been solid. As you know I can't say the same for some of my Calmini products.
-
Only around 25,000 km (15,000 miles)
-
Thanks for the feedback guys and thanks Simon, sounds like an good idea. I considered going back to Calmini and see what they will do for me, but who has the time to deal with that? Best case scenario would be another set of the same crappy bushings anyway. Where did you order your Superlifts from? I may just order the whole set and steer clear of Calmini products in the future.
-
With Simon's help, I have determined that my Calmini UCA bushings are shot. They lasted only a couple of years, and apparently this is good for these particular bushings? :confused: Anyhoo, is anybody running the Calmini UCAs with non-Calmini bushings? I have no sweet clue if the Calmini's are a different size from the OEM. All that I know is that I don't want to put these back on there!
-
Then I *might* know where one could purchase an ARB for an R50 rather inexpensively
-
It looks like the ARB on AC is only for the 99.5 to 04 MYs. Not sure if they make one for the 1996-1999 :confused:
-
Pretty sure that's how Medic over on NTC ran his and there is certainly plenty of room in the headliner of the old Pathies. Edit: here is a link, but he took down all the pics of his truck :confused:
-
Jeesh sorry to hear your having problems already man...better stick to the 40 year old English-built vehicles
-
Can she fit a parts car in the trunk?
-
Good to know man, thanks for the heads up. I will be steering clear of those other jokers.
