high guys, im just wondering if anyone has got a passenger side f-guard for a 240k sedan.

i need something thats in pretty good cond. but even minor rust is fine, as long as it doesnt look

like its been to war.

Hope someone can help, cheers

There's a complete 240K at Centre Rd, Springvale wreckers, (near the Princes Hwy) but the panels were pretty average from what I remember. I'll ask around for you too. Drew

hey Drew, Remember me. Im rabi's friend with the 240k. hows things? did you guys pack up coz i came past at the yard the other week n there was nothing there (unless i was in the wrong street) and i still need to pick up some chrome trims from rabi. anyway thanks for the help.

Hey Bobbie, thought it might be you. Yeah, the factory has been all packed up, but there are still quite a few bits and pieces in Rabee's backyard (and my garage). There are a few of us going to a show and shine on March the 16th. You should come, and pick up the parts you need on the way through.

It's on 16 Mar 2008; the W.D.C.V.C Show "N" Shine 2008. 9am to 3pm. Mossfield Reserve, Hoppers Crossing, Mel 206 F2.

Myself, hot C210, my mates Mario and Anthony should all bring C210's, and Rabee will have his 240k, and hopefully Mastadd will be there too. Give me a call or PM me and we can head down together as a group early, or otherwise we can just catch you down there. I am dying to check out your car, and it's a good opportunity for you to get to know some more of the fellas with similar cars.

There should be some other interesting classics down there as well. All are welcome.

    • 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. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • 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 $$.
