i certainly do have msn.

Ill add you when i get on there, which will be soon.

Also, Craig, unfortunately i do not know this 'hirevn' guy, nor do i have his number, never really heard of him either to be frank.< (insert Lano and Woodley joke there)

luke is used to 11ty billion inch stroker equipped ford v8's. rb's are lacking somewhat by comparison.

ahh so he's used to going fast in a straight line and then not having sufficient braking or handling to do a turn :laugh:

oh how i do love muscle

-D

:laugh:

twink'll love you for that update luke.

pretty well. ill let lukey tell that story though.

lol.

Your a silly person.

5th gear, O'Hallerin Hill.....2,500rpm......can you do that without the car stalling? (could do...car currently out of action atm)

i could do it in my mates valiant sure, but why would i want to? 6000 rpm in 3rd sounds so much sexier :laugh:

and if i wanted to drive slowly in a high gear i'd be buying myself a peterbilt lol

Being your mates. Not yours. My car was a nice relaible streeter that could get me from Adelaide to Melbourne on a tank lol.

Lets not fight....I'm just here, well, cause I can lol.

2.5 years owning my gtr as a daily driver baby, and never spun a single bearing :laugh:

sure its my mates, but that simply proves that I didnt buy one, i bought an R instead. comparing apples and oranges dont make a fruit reviewer

how do u like them apples, good will hunting?

hahaha

jk

You have to even think about your bearings?

347 stroker...built 03/04...never missed a beat. As I said...lets not fight, not what I'm here for.

aye but again, apples and oranges, 20 year old engine, no hassles, never missed a beat, didnt require custom building either ;D

i never worry about >my< bearings but you know what they says about old wives tales and rb26's

-D

you don't drive it hard enough to warrant worrying :ninja:

This man speaketh the truth, he should know, drove the 25 within an inch of its life, then just once beyond an inch of its life.

    • 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 $$.
