hey all

today i was coming back from brisbane city, on vulture street east, as i was traveling down i saw this nice holden ute with some nice 19s on it, coz of trafic i caught up to him and gave him nod and said nice car, he said thanks u 2, anyway

i was watchin this falcon in fron of me in a side street and was thinkin hes comin out so i slowed and so did the ute. but then we both didnt expect this young prick in a cortina also come out from the side street,

luck i saw him and hit the ancors to let him in but i think he may have been on drugs or drunk coz he swerved into the other lane(where the nice ute was) and nearly slammed him, was the closest call i have ever seen and the cortina shit himself and went back up the same street he darted out of.

now i had to hit the picks hard to let this stupid prick in and there was enuff room, but he still swerved, this makes me think he was on something i was ready to pull over as a witness for this guy in the ute but luckily and i meen it was luck they didnt hit. my arm wouldnt have fitted between the gap that was between them.

i just get frustrated with the extent of people that venture out in their cars knowing full well that they are in a state that greatly increases the risk. it coulda been very ugly today, this guy in the ute i commend him on his driving as he avoided the hit very well the closest shit i have ever seen

if you have been drinking, smoking taking coke whatever plez do not opertate a car or anything on the road, this was a very close call due to stupid behaviour and it is just not worth the damage u may cause. a $40 cab ride is a small price to pay if you kill someone or yourself.

I pleed to everyone be careful, if this ute drive and i werent watchin the road i dunno what woulda happened. predict and react to your surroundings, concentration is the key.

anyway thats my rant, everyone be careful and plz dont use substances and then drive just not worth it.

he may just have been an idiot and just plain didn't see the ute.

but i have no sympathy for drink drivers (or drug drivers). my cousin was killed when a drink driver swerved onto the wrong side of the road and hit the ute my cousin was in.

i really think they need to get an accurate way to test drivers for drug use. that will stop a fair few accidents i think.

by the way the passanger and driver looked, there is no way they couldnt have seen us, and they look f**ked outta there gawd

the falcon that pulled out first was pushin it, so this guy had to be on something

i have a few mates that have drunk drove and have lucky not to kill someone or themselves, both were caught by the cops, one of em was 4 times over the limit when he crashed into a poll, i have no sympathy for them and they deserve the penalty they got.

what if the poll was a person walkin their dog, dead for sure

its just not worth it people, i know of 2 of my mates mates he had to watch them die as the ambos got him outta the car, coz if there is people they can save they tag the ones that they cannot and focus on the one who will live

all becuase of a guy that was .08 over on his p's and now he is in jail, but jail is nothing he has to live with the guilt that he killed 2 people at age of 19

its not woth the risk plz dont do it ever get a cab, or bus or sleep in a hotel.

    • 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 $$.
