Fark....it.......almost lives........again.......fark

The real secret is, it's a lot further on in the build than the videos suggest... ;)
I filmed Episode 4 the other weekend...

Hanging for some free time, and hopefully start filming Episode 5 this weekend, but it's going to be spread over two weekends :(
Though I did resign from work, 2 more weeks and lots of spare time! :D

yeah good question Mark....so what is happening with this Matt?

What is happening is it moved back in with me.

Weve been separated for 5 years, though some work was being done, up until i quit work last year, and then the workshop it was in got sold, so she'd been hiding elsewhere.

 

Our house settled Friday afternoon, so i got her home Saturday (today)! :D

Welcome back, just checked out the videos.
Good to see you getting back into the car, you in North Queensland now?

Im in SEQ now. Been in SEQ for about 5 years.

Good to see Matt, hope you have some car budget left after life and mortgage!

Life and mortgage allow a small car budget! Funnily enough, it only costs $3 extra a week for us to own, vs rent... and we were renting a tiny crab shack, especially compared to this place! :D

 

the hardest item to budget is time! I love the new job, i often find working later than I should, as well as doing uni part time, and life with the four legged fluffy children :D

    • 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.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
