Hey guys, i just need some advice/help on an issue with my car.

About 3 days ago on the way to work in the morning, i had been driving for about 10 minutes and was on the freeway.

I was doing about 100 in a 110 zone. The car felt like it breifly lost acceleration for about a second, and the feeling was like i had hit the brakes.... After about a second i got acceleration back.

I pulled over the car checked under the hood but couldnt see anything out of the ordinary.... Rev'd the car a few times just to check, didnt notice anything strange so i took off again.... Had the music turned off the whole way to work which was about another 30 minute drive, i couldnt hear anything wrong with the car and it didnt do it again....

Now this morning on the way to work i had been driving for about 25 minutes, was doing about 70km/h when it happened again, car felt like it lost power, didnt accelerate and then the car back fired.... This most likely happend the first time but becuase i had my music up i didnt hear it.

The car did this about 2 more times within the next 15 minutes, once when i was doing about 10km/h, i had the car stopped at an intersection, turned the corner and then slowly moved forward to some red lights. Then the next time i was doing about 20km/h, when i felt the power loss i got my foot of the accelerator and the car didnt backfire this time.

Anyone got some suggestions as to what could be causing this or what i might be able to quickly check out, i have to drive home from work tonight which will take me about 50 minutes. I dont want the car to die on the way home.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      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.
