Thats typical Japanese bidding..drives me insane. Bloody kamikaze ninja numbnuts thinking if they wait until last 10 secs they'll get it.

I just chuck my max bid in from the get an be done with it.

What are you going to use to run it ??

232,000yen. Didn't wanna spend anymore then 230k to be honest but like u said I hardly see them on there. This one was the best condition one I've seen on there.

I think you got a good score mate. yeah the bloody time extensions on yahoo auctions shits me. I've been buying off yahoo for over 10 years and lost many nights of sleep back in the early 2000s when auctions would re-extend for hours and hours. ending time would be say 8pm and they'd bloody go until 2am with tiny little bid increases every time extra time was about to finish. drove me insane.

When I was staying in Japan early this year my mate mentioned you can actually use a site to bid at the last 0.001 of a second to win the auction. Found that out after I lost the bid on a GT500 RRR block which went for around 5,500 :(

Waste of time and doesnt always work.

Just work out max you want to pay and throw it in at the start.

Watch it and if it goes past your bid and you want to pay more then throw more bids on.

10 years living in Jappa another 8 on top of that going there on travel business and visa hopping, I learnt a long long time ago not to waste time or energy on dumb stuff the Japanese do.

If you do you will be banging your head against a wall for a long long time.

The Motec 800 will run the V-cam no problems.

Also Midori Seibi have been doing setups with a custom Power Fc that they reset.

Screw the GTR's go a big single..

Autoselect Yellow Shark with V-cam

Big single would be to laggy on the 26 for now, and means my ARC twin entry cooler would be useless :(

Just wanna get the thing running already. I'll be going either Tomei 2.8 or Brian Crower 2.9 later on.

Now to save some funds again for a front diff and a whole heap of Nissan parts.

that was just my point mate. response from the -5s is the key for the track. note kaido_RR build, he's done alot of sensible work. :thumbsup:

    • 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 $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
