Well, due to popular demand, I'm going to run another Group Buy on the R31 Adjustable Castor Rods - so far more than 30 pairs of these have been sold to r31club members nationwide - with very few custom R31 products available in Australia, these are excellent value for money.

Ferds from 3rds Productions, who manufacture these rods has quoted me a 3-4 week turnaround time from order to final product delivered into my hands. In the past, the waiting times for these have blown out to 8 weeks, but with recent improvements to his workshop and staffing, he has assured me these will be done promptly.

The main shaft is mild steel that is CNC machined at both ends, then drilled and zinc plated.

The turnbuckle is hex bar, CNC machined at both ends, tapped and then zinc plated, as are the nuts, inserts and the chassis washers.

The clevis assembly is laser cut, press bent and then powder coated in 3rds Productions blue.

This picture of the Shaft assembly shows where the Rod can be adjusted by way of moving the position of the nuts.

These Rods are a DIRECT replacement for your original existing Radius Rod, and installation is easy and self-explanatory.

For the first time, this Group Buy will offer you:

- Rods with the standard rose joint

OR

- Rods with the stainless steel rose joint

The stainless steel joints have been offered for drivers who will be thrashing their car at the track (or other places) on a very regular basis.

So, the pair of Adjustable Castor Rods with standard joint is $270

The pair of Adjustable Castor Rods with stainless steel joint is $340 (Yes both Rods come with clevis/bracket assembly. I just had one side off in this picture, that's all)

Chris Easton who drives this HR31 coupe in Drift Australia has had the 3rds Productions Adjustable Castor Rods for well over a year.

They are also installed in Fernando Wierhl's Sileighty and his newest car, Autosalon S15 (S13 & S15 Rods respectively).

3rds Productions have had price increases on their products lately due to unforseen rises in cost of materials etc, BUT have made it clear that these rods will remain at the above price so long as we can get 10 orders or more.

I am aware there is already demand for thes rods as we speak, so once I have 10 payments in my account, I will set a cutoff date for any extra orders and then I'll ensure 3rds get cracking on churning them out.

$15 will see the rods posted to your door.

Also, for those who already have these Castor Rods but wish to upgrade to the Stainless Steel joints, the price will be $130. This will include the joints, and the inserts and lock nut - ready to swap over with your standard joint.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By Chris_Guthrie · Posted

      Any recommendations on a decent replacement manifold that doesnt break the bank or require additional mods for the stock turbo setup? I figure if I'm going to pull the manifold off anyway to fix the studs might as well replace it.

      So I checked the turbo out today. Very minimum play at all just enough for the oil to take up when it's running. I did find an exhaust leak at the manifold. 1 stud all the way in the front is missing and the one all the way in the back is broken off. Front has visible signs of an exhaust leak. I'll fix that soon but that's not my problem still.  I also found that the nipple coming off the turbo had the hose capped off and a hose ran from the j-pipe by the bov going to the wastegate. I removed that hose and capped that nipple and put the turbo nipple hose back on the wastegate.  There was a ton of oil residue all through the charge side of the intercooler piping going to the throttle bodg. I'm thinking that's from the pcv. Doesn't seem to be coming from the turbo that was all clean on the pipes side.  Haven't had a chance to check fuel pressure yet, haven't had time been having to pull a lot of doubles at work. I did pick up some carb cleaner to clean the iacv but wanted to make sure I had a fresh gasket in case the old one rips when I pull it off.  I'm waiting on a MAF that was supposed to be here today but delayed to Monday. Have a double Monday and Friday and work all of next weekend so going to try to find some time in the middle of the week to try that out. Did about a 10m trip around the block today and towards the end the issues were coming back. Fingers crossed on this MAF but if not just going to throw a fuel pressure gauge in and see where I'm at.  Did notice today that I can definitely hear the injectors pulsing. Very audible clicking coming from them. Assuming that's normal? Should also mean CAS is functioning somewhat properly. After it warmed up when I started it the intermittent misfires came in again. Did start doing that before it was fully warmed up.

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.
