im seriously considering it man, im talking to my financial advisor (my boss) to see what i can figure out, cuz i still owe the bank some cash, im hoping to get as close too the payot figure as possible, so far tho, you are in the lead... i need more time tho man, thats considerably less than whats its worth, but as i said im desperate to sell... i will get back to you tho...

Chris

Im sorry its taken so long, but no matter what way i bend the figures i just cant sell it that cheap im sorry man, the absoloute minimum i can take is 20,000, and even then its at a huge loss to me...

I now have no license for an unset period of time (go before the judge tomrorow) and i would realy prefer my baby was driven instead of sitting around my work for the next however long... so yeah, umm, bump!

I can't believe this GTT hasn't been sold yet with all those mods incl. GCG and PFC ... damn man. Have you tried carsales.com.au ? If not, try there ..SAU has a limited audience most of whome already have a skyline. Oh and I wouldn't mention your driving record / loss of license, it just rings alarm bells to a potential buyer that it has been trashed. I applaud you on your honesty, but lets be frank ... when you're trying to sell something, you should try to only mention the good stuff. Mentioning that you're pretty much a hoon won't help you sell it. Just IMHO..

Haha, yeah man, im suprised it hasnt sold yet either... and thanks for the advice but in regards to my license issue, ive owned my baby since it had 60,000k's on it (over 2 years now), never once have i hit boost until the engine was completly warmed up, and as for any other mischevious activities, it certainly has never been drifting, it still has stock suspension in it, the HICASS is still enabled and im too scared of bending it if something goes wrong, its a 34 not quite your throw away body of a 31 or 32 even lol... i once heard a simple rule when it comes to drifting/racing... you do it long enough and its not a matter of "IF" something happens but "WHEN"... Yeah i will be honest, lets face it, its a skyline, its designed and built to be driven hard and fast, but thats far from the "thrashing" i know you are referring too... as a mechanic i know the essentials to keeping a car healthy and in good condition, i welcome anyone who is genuinly interested to have it compression tested, leak tested etc... this car is A1 mechanically sound...

    • 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 $$.
