im not sure, kinda hard to understand what the old bat babbles on, she said it makes a really bad noise, and runs like shit, not in those words of course.

but as i said, the body/interior looks good condish, good for the $ she wants for sure.

well im off to bed to, im with steve, i need all the beauty sleep i can get! lol

how about a KE70? anyone got one for sale or know someone selling one?

think its time for my car to become a weekend-er

i think there is one in adel for sale! in the general for sale cars thread!!

Sean/Boostworx runs in the improved production with a little 808 I believe it is.

In his old rx7 I believe his best time around mallala was a low 1min 17?

Yeh thats right, He's building his 808 now, Our lap record holder has a 808 also and is a team mate, runs a BP18T 1.8ltr ran a 1:15, our cars are also restricted, has a 36mm restrictor smack bang in front of the turbo, only running about 200kw!!

Q: What should one pay for an SAFC II Tune? picking one up for the legnum, will install it myself and then look to have it tuned. Was thinking of going to see Shaun (boostworx) but as he doesnt have AWD dyno would mean he would have to hire out someone elses and may affect cost.

Either way, I would guess no more than $200 - is this fair?

    • 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 $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
