Looking to get some custom steering onuckels

[Park_monkey]

Hello all.
I have bought a nissan 300zx to use as a drift car and am looking for ways of gaining a bit more steering lock.
As the zed isn't that popular for drifting there aren't many off the shelf upgrades aimed at improving lock so I am exploring other options.
The standard knuckles are cast alloy and there aren't many places willing to cut and weld them. It has been done but not much in the U.K.
I am looking for someone that could modify the standard knuckles or fabricate a new pair. It would have to be someone that understands steering geometry etc.
I am not confident having a go myself and I wouldn't know where to start to be honest.
If you could make up some jigs there would probably be a market for these.

Here is a link to a site with a bit of info. Looks like the easiest option would be to cut and weld the original knuckles.

WTF is A Knuckle(in English) Not in US of A , And Yes I would have a crack at your steering geometry if your stuck

Sorry, been that used to reading it on American sites it's stuck.
Would you be able to cut and weld the original ones?
How much would you charge?
From what I read its just the part where the steering arm connects that needs shortening.

I've done a bit of work for a guy thats into drift cars,
What they do is run a shorter steering arm on the spindle to enable more degrees of steering lock at the wheels whilst drifting,
It also speeds up steering response time, similar to fitting a quick rack, downside is it makes heavier steering for regular use.

Yes that's right, I'm not too concerned about daily use as it will be a pure track car eventually. I would appreciate a rough idea on cost if someone would be happy to do the work.
Thanks

I think for anybody to price this you'd need to post some pictures of the setup to see whats involved.
