yeh any air getting out the intake is bad

only if it's after the AFM. which V boy's is from the looks of it.

skylines don't cost any more than any other car to maintain. you can spend your money on rubbish mods, but most times when you spend money it gives back pleasure. think of it as a gf or a mistress.

or in your case mohsen, moisturising cream for your hand.

the boss v8s are gay.. my mate has a manual bf xr8. it doesn't really get going till 4000rpm.. then it runs out of puff and is asthmatic as shit by 5000rpm. failcar.

i suppose they are like a 'Boss' in that they make loud noises, and are generally pretty useless

i find myself lusting after big power typhoons etc.. but then i remember.. they are still a Ford Falcon

LOL i thought they were somehow american...

it's an American truck engine block.. but assembled here.

the 4.6 modular v8 is actually decent.. far more rev happy and fun to drive, although falcons never got them

the same mate's mum has a 2002 mustang convertible with this motor, much quicker than the xr8

that's really cool in a country that doesn't have bullet raodsters.

boring as shit in a country overrun with cars that sport RB25's stock and where ownership of ADR compliant V8 MX5s is a phonecall away.

but but but RB are the best enginges in the world! Race Bred bro!

wouldn't say boring just cos there are stock cars with the rb here, dropping it into an mx5 is not something you see everyday. i thought bullet cars were an american comany for some reason. havent really looked at em in a while

    • 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 $$.
