Yep entry is already in.

How easy does it stretch? ie does it go on and off easy, so you can work on the car?

When new, I just heated it up in hot water, was a bit tight but got them on in the end. Now, there is no issues with removing or putting them back on.

I got the hose and installed it today. Works very well, thanks for the heads up woolls. You coming up for the final round of the TSS?

No worries Ben,

I will be coming up, but only watching the final round, I have totaly stripped my bus to do a few things to it.

The car is back on the road again. It's been out for a few runs. Follewed the Nissan manual and ran the car at 4000rpm for 10mins to bleed the lifters... and it worked. while I was doing it, I was waiting for the valvetriain to come flying out the bonnet.

New engine feels good, heading the the tuners during the week for a tune.

if someone can work it out ill give them a prize.

a few hints.

old vs new graph. both e85 same turbo. same inlet.

less boost than last time.

that old graph is the engine that did a bearing before targa. the engine we did targa with had around 230 on the down hill sections.

And top marks to ben. hes built this engine all by him self. ive had other commitments so ive only been able to help here and there.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • 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.
