G'day all,

I just wanted to know what everyone thinks about the reliability of Pivot's speedmeter. I had one installed recently and on my second attempt on the M4, my 0-100 figure was 6.00 sec. I was pleased with this because I had the silencer on my muffler fitted in.

The times varied from between 6 sec and 6.3.:burnout:

well standard is 6.2 for 33 with approx 140rwkw. Id say add exhaust and filter and boost and youd be pushing 160rwkw, and mid 5seconds to 100? Go a FMIC and some sort of management for 190+rwkw, and id say low 5seconds to high 4 seconds 0-100.

does this sound right?

Guilt toy, 4.77 is pretty quick, you must have 200+kw at the wheels? The only thing is, how do you get the traction to pull a 4.77 0-100? what tyres you got, and how did you launch?

yeah dude, i doubt 3.4 sec as well... i would say thats impossible on street tyres!! i dont think any RWD street car will be able to crack the low 4 seconds, apart from these "street" cars in japan running Nittos and 10sec qtrs!

I remember i test done with propper equipment on Kingsley Heads GTR 32, big single conversion, and i think he was only just in the high 3sec to 100 bracket. BIG power and RWD on street=inability to do exceptional 0-100's!! The power becomes a problem rathere than an aid in low gears.

250rwkw is a heap of power, and if you could get it down you'd probably do 3.4secs! But no way espec with the shit 235's you mention!

when i went from 160 to 200kw i could no longer just plant it in 1st due to traction breaking, wheras before i could let 1st wind right out.

dumb question but how does it measure the distance ?

If you sat their and ripped a burnout (tyres spinning faster than what your car could move) it would give you a 'really' quick 0-100m time wouldnt it ?

/end dum question.

LOL - I'm pretty sure they are talking about 0-100 k/ph, not 0-100m :)

Jay,

Your posy doesn't make sense. Toby is the one started this thread which is about the reading he took from his pivot speedmeter.

Toby,

One way to find out whether you are in fact measuring 0-100kmh is to set the meter and go for a run sitting at 60kmh. You can do this as you are cruising and don't have to do it from stand still.If it beeps and gives you a reading it is clear that the reading is for 0-100m not 0-100kmh. You can try the same for 0-200, 0-300 and 0-400. I am sure you will find that all the readings are for distance not for speed.

A cheetah would be faster than our beloved skylines over a sprint of 100meters. Basically having to move a mass of 1.5 ton and not being able to put all the power to the ground from stand still (read traction) hass all to do with it.

Obviously as the distance is increased there is no comparison.

With 180rwkw (about 2 years ago), I clocked off about 5.2 secs with a g-tech... 206rwkw and I managed a 4.9...

Much faster than that and you're pushing shit uphill with only two wheels driving, as you can only put down so much power in first and second...

Try a 100-200 time estimate if you want an indication of a cars power :)

    • 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 $$.
