Anyone had Calmini UCA installed on a 2012 D22?

[X-D22pilot]

Hi, have purchased Calmini upper control arms for my 2012 D22, it has a 2 inch lift already, my mechanic says there was trouble fitting them and grinding had to be done, just wondered if anyone else with a jap build has had them fitted?

I am thinking the jap build may be different, hope to get the car back today and see exactly what did not fit.

Mine is an 08 Jap built and fitted mine myself. No problems at all. No grinding. They should have just slipped in to the original position. That's a strange one.

Cheers

I'd be asking what needed grinding. The chassis are the same from 97-13. I did mine 2weeks ago myself in a 09 Thai and never had one issue. In saying that there was someone on here that had problems with balljoint not fitting into the arm.

If you can let us know what needed grinding it may give is something to look out for on ours?

Yer I saw the ball joint one, that was way out lol, ill get some pics but I am thinking its just the build, was hoping some one with a 2012 D22 could confirm they never had a issue

On my 08 I hit mine with a grinder to give a little more clearance for the shocks as the would just touch the gusset, the new design uca's has fixed this though.

That is what is was, just around the shock to give it more clearance, all good now

Did yiu buy the arms new or second hand? As the cutout for the shock has been changed for a long time. I had mine in the garage waiting to be fitted for a couple of mknths and they have thr large shock cutout. No grinding invloved here. Also shock size would play a big part aswell. Im only running bilsteins which are smaller then the rancho and other brands.

I got them new, probably old stock because after reading a few threads in here, I am one of the few that purchased them from a dealer in Australia lol

The shock is a terrain tamer nitro gas, its a bit bigger I think

Rubbing when turning? isn't there a way you can put longer wheel bolts in and a spacer behind the rim to flair em out? Or is it special rims that offset the tyre a bit? Something like that

Hear are some pics of my setup,




New style for reference



New style arms



Shock clearance

Navmanias setup is the same with bilsteins instead of rancho. I may have to import some rancho shocks in the long future to put in place. I see my bilstiens lasting a long time though

I defo want the adjustable Ranchos, kinda blown the budget for a bit though ;( Ill get some pics next week

Calmini.com from the states or know as purenissan.com

Easy to deal with but i would suggest doing a bit of research into 3" sus lifts and get peoples reviews. Alot of people finding 2"sus and 2" body much more stable also using calmini arms up front for extra travel.
