    Front brake job moved up the list, pray for me when the time comes... This was much harder to get than I anticipated.

    All good, people use the terms interchangeably. If you're willing to share, I'd be keen to understand the total cost of the swap when you know.

    Sounds better than RC, but I haven't used RC in YEARS

    Last time I used this setup my Hero 4 was new tech...

    Tell'em the cost son...

    Race Chrono (paid) gets my vote, controls the GoPro as a rempote and does overlays on the video for you.

    Spend money?!

    Managed to finish welding the cross brace and plates (and spent some time cleaning up some of the uglier welds...) then started prepping for the gusseted reinforcements but boy has that castor arm bracket been smashed into some ripple strips lol it's taking a bit of work to get it to a point where the plate will fit on it neatly enough. You can see it's got a bit of a crease through it, and this was after I'd been working on it. In good news, I know the brace/plates are good because the amount of force I've been putting on the whole assembly as I try and straighten it is decent. I'll try heating it a little next time, it's just an awkward spot to get to with the rolled lip edge, which I need to preserve as it's the mounting surface. Progress is progress.

    On how many platforms you want me to tell you this is sick? Because I'll do it...

    I had a look on google maps, looks fun.

    Huge update VERY exciting, which TCU did you go with in the end?
  15. No Crust Racing
    Much obliged, but you haven't seen the welds on the plate to cross brace lol But yes, experience and patience, both of which I still lack a lot of It's a good kit I think, will come out being better than a Nismo option IF my welds are good enough on that cross brace.

    So no hoist stand yet (wasn't paying $207 a piece locally..) but cable ties did the job nicely. Got the brace tacked in, poorly as the welder was having conniptions for some reason, then dropped the castor arms and sway bar so I could remove the whole assembly as one and start welding it up in the bench. Got a few nice beads on the plate to bracket connection but everytime I went at the cross brace rod to plate connection there was an issue so what I have there is a bunch of ugly half started welds that I'll need to clean up and maybe redo. Can't tell if it was the angle of the gun, filler touching tip/shroud etc, or kink in the wire/hose but it came good after I'd messed those up and allowed me to get those nicer beads on the plate you see there. Just a lack of skill will be the most likely cause but I'm used to having to clean up my shitty work after. Castor plates have taken a beating over the years too so there'll be some work to straighten those before the gusseted plates can go in underneath. I continue my tradition of giving the forum extra pics/more detail because forums are the best.

    Well if we were not so shit at investing then maybe we could have both...
  18. No Crust Racing
    Why not.... both?

    Didn't get far on the power brace last night, cleaned up the castor brackets and reinforcement plates and tacked in after working out where the rod wants to sit. Need a second set of hands or some of those screw up hoist pads used in exhaust work to tack the rod in place - will rejig the setup and have another go. Considered doing it on the bench, but the angles cut on the rod are not perfect vs the angle of the castor brackets (very very close) and the brackets themselves have taken a few hits and would not sit flat on a bench anyway so will tack the rod in place on the car then remove the lot as 1 piece to finish those welds and put the gusseted plates into the brackets themselves. Bonus pick of the "new" fabbing workbench - needs a tidy up and some mods before it goes in to service. I've got some flat steel to put a big edge on the back of it and some SHS to go in under the top itself for extra support I'll likely cut one section out at the bottom so I can slide stuff under it.

    Looks good, but I can't help but get the feeling that maybe you might consider selling this car if the money was right and then buying a euro, just a hunch? OR could it be that you've told us this 40000000000000 damn times 😅 Just list it for sale for the money you would want to sell it, if it sells go buy euro and while it's not selling keep modding this and enjoying it.

    GKtech power brace bits are here but before I get in to that I have another project. A mate, for my recent milestone birthday, was nice enough to pick me up an old 5mm steel top work bench and some extra bits to clean it up and turn it into a little fabbing workbench - now that I'm doing a bit more welding etc. Will snap some pics when I'm in the shed next, but needs an edge on the back, bit of a cleanup and a few small mods to work in my space. Will be great to have a proper steel workbench as my other benches are wood and where I've been doing the fab stuff is just the tops of some steel shelves so the tops are very thin/flimsy. R33 boi test fitted my wheels to determine clearances, +0 might be too aggressive as he was hoping to not need flares/modify original guards as the car is very clean and straight - who can tell me what 18x10s fit under stock guards and leave space for decent size brakes and slicks? +10 offset and some camber "might" get us there....

    Awesome! Keep moving forward 👌
