damn straight!!!

will be a good night for sure! :)

anyway... back on topic. Someone was talking about pussy?

Its a bit late now seen as the majoritory of peeps want a dry day even.Anyway..now i can do somthing that ive been putting off for weeks..and its not for the car.:)

im in, i know the way :P

not sure if ill have my car re-insured but im going anyway if im not working.

for those who have NOT driven bathurst before, watch out for the "esses" if your car is VERY lowered and you go in TOO tight, you will scrape your exhaust tip like you would not believe.

I think we need to line up on the start grid and get some nice pictures. The track is 2 way, and 60kmph limit, you can park at the top in a small viewing area, last time i was there the pits were open and i parked infront of a door :rofl:

Hey all!

Cruise Details

---------------------------------------------------

Date: Saturday 26th of August

PreMeet for Campbelltown/South West people will be at the Casula Crossroads at 9:30am for a 9:40 sharp departure (we will not wait for anyone - if you not there, good luck catching up)

Meet: Richmond RAAF Base car park (parking between Visitor Information Center and the Tennis Courts, Sl!m will be directing people (look for black R32 and tall bloke) at 11:00 am for a 11:30 am departure

Destination: Bathurst (Via Bells Line)

Since everybody has agreed on Bathurst, as much as I would like to lead the cruise, I can't take that responsiibility as I don't know the way (Bathurst wasnt my idea). If somebody can lead the way there, that would be great. There won't be a homebush meet since nobody was interested in it. Everybody is to go straight to Richmond. We will head out to Bathurst via Bells Line =)

lets aim for something like this X 10 =)

pplz whats going on is this thing still on, is it still bathurst or has it been changed to a place in syd, if so i'll be in but 2 bathurst 2 far of a drive + i'll be working the night before,

ok so we still doing this or what?

since the people that initially proposed Bathrust have mostly pulled out, I want to change the destination to something more feasable like wollongong. Or should we leave it to Bathurst still? I'm not in the mood to drive for 3 hours each way.

    • 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. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • 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 $$.
