HB D21 2wd Adjustable Upper Control Arms - Infamous Nissan

mklotz70 · 06-15-2022, 09:12 AM

Hello Everyone,

I am starting the group buy for the Hardbody(D21 2wd) Adjustable Upper Control Arms.

I’ve created a page on my website with the details and terms. Hopefully, it addresses most of the questions you’ll have. If you’re using a cell phone or tablet to view it, you should tell your browser to use the desktop site in order to use the links more easily.

At this time, I’m not quite sure how long I will leave the group buy open to accept customers in. I’m currently thinking that I’ll need to have all the deposits in by mid July. That may change. At that point, I will be pushing to get them made within 60 days from then. Roughly 3 months to make them and ship them. I’m hoping to finish sooner, but supply delays may push the date.

Mike makes great parts y’all. He did the machining of the hubs and brake rotors to allow me to put 350Z brembo rotors on my son’s hardbody. He also built the tool I used to replace the kingpin bushings on my Datsun 521.

holy shit those are pricey, damn nice looking though.

Yep....they're not cheap. If I remember right, the only other sets available a couple of years ago were $650 with no ball joints. That's before most of the materials and supplies nearly doubled in price. Some have more than doubled. From what I've heard, the other guy isn't making them....at least not at this time. These will come with MOOG ball joints and the wrench to install them.

I've decided the group buy will close July 20th. There were 32 people on the list, I've heard back from 4. So far, it's looking like the last time I made these......lots of interest until it got real. I thought about starting a build thread on this forum to share the process, but I figure that most people have IG or FB and can follow along there if they want. bluehandsvideo for both of them. Time to hit the shop.

I sent a message on the website. Had a few questions. They look nice

Thought I'd let people here know that the price has been lowered to $650 and the deadline for deposits is 7/30/22. Check the link at the start. I've updated the info on the site. I will not be making as many as originally planned. I'm going to be losing money on all the parts I've bought, but I don't want to lose my time making parts that aren't wanted. After the 30th, I'll look at how many I need to make to cover those orders and decide if I'm making any extra or not. There's a good chance I may not make any extras.
