Steering arm Wisefab – Nissan S13 / S14 / S15

Description

Passar Nissan 200sx S13,S14,S15
OBS! Ackerman kitet säljs separat som möjliggör ställbar ackerman plus eller minus.

Engineered for performance and handling 65 degrees of lock, parallel steering.

Both wheels turn the same angle. As an option, there would be a possibility to buy Ackermann adjustment kit. You could tune your steering geometry either towards positive or negative Ackermann in just a few minutes even at trackside without messing up an alignment.

Higher roll center (RC). Lowering the car would mess up the original factory designed kinematics, especially with MacPherson suspension. On Wisefab knuckle, the ball joint is lowered 56mm, which brings the front RC up on lowered car, providing higher roll stiffness and letting to remove the front anti roll bar (sway bar) that is quite difficult to package with that high lock angles.
Very good camber control and minimal bump steer with high steering angles. On drift cars the dynamic camber and bump steer is much more important than static. With our kinematics we have assured that the camber would provide very good front grip and bump steer is minimal at all the range of steering.

Steering jacking control. During steering the car chassis is moving up and down

– this is called jacking. Steering jacking is caused by combination of caster, KPI, trail and scrub. On road cars, this effect is used sometimes to balance the car or to help to turn in. During drifting, when steering angle is much bigger, jacking is also bigger, even with the same geometry and it could become a problem. We have changed the geometry that it doesn’t cause any handling issues.

Consistent and predictable self-alignment torque. Caster is not the only important parameter to provide sufficient self-alignment torque especially at high lock. It’s the combination of different parameters to maintain consistent trail and self-alignment torque. With our setup the steering wheel turns always to the direction of movement and doesn’t get stuck at full lock.
Other components, packaging and clearance.
This kit assumes coil overs to have enough clearance.
Dependent on rim width and ET, wider fenders or fender flares would be needed.

15“original rim could be used if needed.
With tire diameter not bigger than 605mm (215/40R17) and lowered ride height the inner wheel wells don’t have to be modified.
With tire diameter up to 635mm (215/45R17, 225/45R17, 235/40R17, 225/40R18 etc) and lowered ride height the inner wheel wells need to be slightly modified.
Recommended backspacing is 135-140mm (7“ ET45; 8“ ET35; 9“ ET25). If ET is smaller, then wheels stay more outwards, if ET is bigger, then spacers need to be used.

We are using 205/40/17 ET25 wheels on our Nissan S14.5, works great!

The kit is designed and manufactured the way that after installation and toe adjustment it’s ready to use right away.
