I bought a helmet off ebay for $65 posted. Its open faced so its not heavy and doesnt block your vision.

Looks like im swaping my 33 for a 34 that doesnt have any real power mods so i may only do a few runs. Im happy to lend it out or whatever.

Ashleigh come along! I'm sure there will be a helmet around you can use :down: Come on guys, will be a great day! I'm hoping that I beat at least 1 person though lol. No-one likes to be last :D

How many spots have been booked and payed for??

If you want to come shoot me a pm, the payment details are on this thread or if your a member of the Qld forum the original post is there.

heya guys sorry to be a real prick, but iam unable to attend the drag day now due to work commitments, damn compony i work for decided we gotta work through till christmas day as we got too much work on..................bla bla bla ANYWHO as i have PAID in advance for this drag day iam now offering up my spot for anyone who is interseted for 35bucks. ill loose out some cash its ok. if anyone wants to go for $35 bucks pm me please and ill give ya my account details. cheers POQ123. ill check wit toddlls too so he knows whats going on.

thats not me is it?... i dont remember signing up for this..hmmm

No doubt though I would like to go, but i got no wheels to get off the line with :P.

*hint *hint... anyone got some semi slicks i can borrow for 2 runs? or something grippy/ to fit r33 gtst.. lol don't like my chances..

Edited by silverbulletR33

Semi-slicks are the worst thing you could drag with!! Your street tyres are the second best choice for the drags!!

Come on people. If this event doesn't go ahead, we won't be invited back again!!! The club has put this together at the insistence of the members and then less than half the people who were so keen pay up!!

Utterly pitiful. Call yourselves car enthusiasts...

I dont know... Kumho supra's on 18's... they suck balls really.. perhaps my suspension could be better :S

$48 from 2pm to 4pm... I thought it was originally 1pm to 4pm??

this price still does not include Test'N'Tune afterwards right? Is there a discount if we stay for Test'N'Tune?

    • 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 $$.
