Thats cool, pop out ;)

Was out last night and discreetly parked down a side street (Mobil/Tammets was already claimed by the time I ended up getting there, which was just after 10PM), but was pretty good. Saw alot of Skylines im assuming were alot of people from the forums, a few GTR's ive never seen out before, and alot of v8's :(

Well tonight we will be grabbing Tammets car wash / Mobil early ;) For those from Canberra, you should know where it is, for those coming interstate, there will be a couple of skylines, a gold pulsar gtir, my03 black wrx with vault krystals, and alot of other done up cars with "syndicate" stickers across the windscreen... come past, say hi, have a drink or what not :(

Yeah deans car, and yeah I was at syndicate dyno day :D Ill be out there tonight, and tomorrow, and I was out last night too :P Im a cruise junkie :Oops:

Hey poyz, Mark (trueno) works just off Northbourne Avenue as well, and hes like "holy sh!t man, turbo and v8's cruising around everywhere!" I might have to drive past later today and see for myself

yea i work in the transact building today saw 2 grey skylines both R33 GTST S1's and the yellow GTT i think it is their is also normally another GTS-T out their with a big FMIC.

Also just a note i decided to go for a cruise through braddon and the city to see if their were any decent rides... and what do i see a unmarked police car white and what had he pulled over a white GTS-T R33 pulled over guy looked a little worried as your would had big chromies on it and NSW plates hope the fines not to big buddy if you read this...

anyways i may be out tonight

i saw massive pain today. i was coming out of dickson going up ellenborough. there was an awesoem old style ford with the open out back seat, and a hot pink what looked like an escort ute. then behind them was a white R33 with a MASSIVE dent in its passenger. i hope it wasn't a local or someone on here, i feel for you if you are. it hurt to look at it.

i'll be there 10-12pm tonight ;) (although parking somewhere else nearby). If its anything like '03 (bumper-to-bumper traffic and a crowd of 3 deep on every side of the road) then i'll be parking nearby somewhere and walking :(

    • 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 $$.
