thats considerably faster then mine :D PB of 14.03... also happened 2 b my 1st ever run... lol ive got a pretty sock 33 gtst... std turbo, 3" t-back zorst... pod, FMIC, PFC + H/C... ive just finished installing my kill switch and PowerFC into my 33... im not sure how "hard" i can push the PFC without a tune... im gonna go and get 1 soon but atm its ok 2 drive 2 and from work...

redbank plaza should be a pretty good location 2 meet... but like u said... some ppl will be going backwards...

C'mon Miss niz, come for a run in the 34. I'ts heaps of fun, my car is only doing 14's so not that great. Still i loved it.

Haha, yeah i ran my ol' bluey down the strip a few years ago, but i won't be running the 34. She's just built for cruising, not racing... lol.

Depending on how the night goes, and we get a decent amount of people out. I would be happy do it again.

Had a couple of hickups with my car, but should still be going down the track. If not i will definately be there watching.

I probably will be taking footage on the night aswell, and would like to know how to upload it onto here, but unaware how to.

Im really keen to head up once i get my rims and rubber sent up from melb. Should be interesting to see how it goes with the gt30r and a decent set of drag radials under it. May not be able to make it for the next few weeks tho. I have a few exams coming up.

everthing seems to be looking well for wednesday night, although it was a bit windy today.

by the look of the weather it probably wont piss down, very unlucky if it does.

looking forward to see who rocks up on the night.

My car looks like it should be right for the night. But have had issues with those silicon performance radiator hoses i put on, just dont seem to seal properly.

Yeah they can withstand the heat but pain in the arse to secure so they dont leak. Also had air leaks coming out a couple of places, but now all sorted.

Just letting people know, that im planning on rocking up to test and tune close to when it opens, to get some runs down, then see some skylines head down the track later that night.

There has been a bit of interest and a couple of people are missin out on the night, due to cars not being ready, awaiting parts to be put on, or wont be here.

So if people would like to show some interest if we want to do another one, let us know and i'll arrange another one soon. ( But as said before we will see how this night goes, and get peoples opinions etc. after it)

Anyway see yas there,

Shake and Bake.

I got the turbo on but i can't get it tuned until this coming saturday... so i wont be there :D but post up when the next one is getting organised and I'll definately be there...

Everyone post up how they went and what times they do!

I'll be there but not racing, haven't had enough time to get the car up on the dyno.

Baz, let us know what time your heading out bro.

Wont be able to make it tonight - but let me know when the next one is as keen to go.

It's tomorrow night Brad. :)

Would have been there but my car got broken into and i need the funds to pay for that.

Not feeling lucky with this car.

Unlucky man, not good news to hear. was there much damage?

WEll hopefully ya get it all sorted out for next one.

And also hope someone catches the prick. too many mofos out there

Will also let you guys all know when the next one is.

Will let ya know paul when im headin out.

bit of a disappointing night, only one or two skylines were there on the night that i saw.

Couple of oil spills, and also back wheel of some guys car came off after doing his burnout.

Fair few commodores were there.

I made my achievement of the night to get into the 12's ( 12.8, 60ft - 1.989 - Mph 115)

Maybe next time we will get a few guys out.

Good effort. Is that on street tyres ?

How many runs did you get on the night ?

Nah was on MT Streets, but i had about 22psi in the tyres. ( skidded first )

Only managed to get two runs down as there were a fair few cars there.

Next time i will put the pressure of the tyres to 15psi, and see how i go then.

Hopeful then for a low 12, if i can get the 60ft down a little more to 1.8.

    • 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 $$.
