Anyone who claims they havent sped or done something stupid behind the wheel is full of it.

This guys admitted in his first post that he learnt his lesson and keeps his foot off the gas as he doesnt want to be back on public transport, if his word is true (as hard as it is to decypher) then he hasnt been doing stupid speeds in areas where he shouldnt be doing them.

If you READ the topic and not get so hot under the collar about what he did, you will find that hes talking about superficial friends. He is right too, fastest way to find out who your friends are is write down a list of who gave you a lift (and or thought were your friends) when your car is off the road or whatever and see how many return the favour.

I lost my licence when I was a courier, all little stuff that just added up and up, I gave up after that because the odds are that if your on the road 10hrs a day 6 days a week your gunna do something now and again and if a cop sees it they hammer you, if you think its bad in the modified scene try being a courier.

This is exactly the sort of topic in a performance car forum that police read and then hassle us for the rest of the year.

Thanks a lot idiots.

If you guys arnt bragging about it why do you need to tell everyone that has access to the internet? (police, media, parents of young people who own these cars!)

Im not saying im the smartest person in the world but for f**ks sake it goes without saying you dont mention this sort of shit.

Haha, ppls buys hi-po cars so they can do the speed limits..... mmm errr... that doesn't compute. Anyway, I've lost mine a numbers of times for endangering the public by doing 10-15 kays over the limit. Yes I am a speedster and I really don't give a f*ck what ppls say about speeds kill or hoons should be rounded up and shot. The only reason I still got my license atm, is that I don't speed, but I break every other possible road laws out there, where as before I sped now and then and obey all the traffic laws. So go figure.

hrm, well then... how about you stop acting like an arseclown and grow up?

there are other people out there on the roads other than you, you do realise?

if you ever damaged my car or whatever because of your "i don't give a f**k, i'll do whatever i want" attitude, i think you may end up with a fair few more injuries than those that were a result of the 'accident'

grow up mate.

Other road rules consist of... Illegal u-turns, going straight from a turning lane, failing to indicate early enough, not parking close enough to the gutter, leaving highbeams on when less than 200m from another car...

How about this cool question. Who here has been done for drink driving, who here has drink driven but not been caught. Who here has drug driven (because we know you havent been caught I wont ask that) and did you feel it was safe and ok for you to drive, would you do it again. Lets see who answers those questions honestly. Or if anyone answers them at all.

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.

    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
