ok guys, Ive been working on this for a couple weeks now(dont have much time thanks to the us army..) and am having abit of trouble tracking down this fuel issue. the engine is an rb20det from a cefiro. seems to be having a fuel issue. the old saying too much is never enough is apparently not true here. usually at low rpms, it bogs down, with black smoke and horrible fuel mileage. Ive replaced the fuel filter, FPR, checked fuel pressure, replaced plugs gapped properly, cleaned the maf, checked for intercooler leaks and vacuum leaks and couldnt seem to find any. I searched here and found some people with some of the same issues and the solution was to clean up the aac. I did that and it seemed to help alittle(it doesnt buck hard like it used to now). but it still shoots out black smoke every now and then(mostly at low rpms as mentioned) Power is lacking as well obviously. shooting flames when I downshift as well, which looks slightly cool, but obviously not supposed to do that.

now the only things i can thing of that are left is maybe a faulty fuel injector(maybe sticking open?) or the maf has just completely crapped out on me. when you unplug the maf and start the car, it runs idles even worse, and when connected, it idles better so im not sure if the maf is bad or not. i have yet to hook up a 12v sourse and and hook up a volt meter and see what output is. sorry for the long post Im just trying to be as detailed as possible. here are my mods if this helps. any help is greatly appricated.

unplugged the 02 sensor, didnt seem to make any differance in the idle at all. bad 02 sensor?

No, usually when the O2 sensor plays up it results in an erratic idle (hunting) but stabilises once the O2 sensor is disconnected (presumably no longer in closed loop mode).

Have you inspected the plugs and are they all the same (presumably very black)? Usually fouled plugs will eventually clear themselves especially after a long run (eg down the highway).

      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.

      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 $$.
