not surprised they picked salisbury. its still pretty scummy.

that being said, the amount of money being poured into elizabeth and salisbury is making a pretty fair difference. im pretty confident walking around there at night now, but i wont be caught dead wandering through daveron park, place is a f**king ghetto. makes munno para/craigmore/smithfield look like high society.

and on another note, ive got a nice shiny pair of cusco rucas. :(

stripped out race car!?!? u mean this?! hahahaha

jenkies..........nice pick on the muddies. they the khumo ones?

also needs moar comp tray and tube winch bar :(

lol! that reminds me, you keen on coming up to this http://www.loveday4x4adventures.com/Australian4x4Muster.html I might head up with my sister. I just want to win the Landcruiser that was painted up at my bro in laws paint shop :)

do it chad, im heading up with a few peeps too :yes: should be a good weekend

:(

ferrals

id rather eat KFC which is prob half rabbit and chicken mushed into a leg shape over

croc , emu or roo.

whats everyone up to tomoz?

we headin to mates place, as you do... bundy will be drunk, SAUsages will be eat. sunburn will prob be had.

drunk post contest tomorro night in wasteland? lol

Dave, wheels sold?

lol you're missing out bro... ive never had emu but Ive had croc, its a white meat with a taste and texture halfway between fish and chicken, kangaroo is dense like beef but tasty as hell

kangaroo, when done right, i would rate better than a roast beef but less than a roast lamb

vu gets the australian of the year award imho cos hes got shit sorted >:D

-D

i dont even think chicken tastes like chicken. how can it if everything else tastes like chicken?

:D

zipple cruise for the motorplex.

and sif drink bundy. thats the most horrid shit i have ever tasted.

Dave, wheels sold?

yup, goin to a dude with a 31 coupe. collected a $600 non refundable deposit the other day. went a put a deposit on my new wheels on friday.

+1. Gave myself alcohol poisoning once when I was 22 @ mt hotham/dinner plain. Its not a good idea to drink OP rum on an empty stomach, straight...

24 hours later I woke up with a bucket full of spew and no recollection of the last day, and now the smell of it is enough to make the guts turn

-D

EDIT - And Makers Mark/Wild the sphincter of the universe/Slate is my preferred 3, in that order lols

    • 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 $$.
