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.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
