I always like watching in car footage :yes:

What's done to the car? She looks like a bit of a handful in some spots, but having said that I've never driven PI. It looks like you're really wide on a few of the corners, but again that is probably my lack of knowledge of that circuit.

Respect for putting up footage of yourself :thanks: You're a bit calmer when you have an off than I am, I get Tourettes syndrome.

Eek. PI is pretty scary when the weather is changable. Slick in parts but ok in others leave me with no idea of grip levels. Better when it just poors and its slippery everywhere :kiss:

Hope you didnt have too much fun in your road car, you may find it starts getting parts of the race car :D ...and that means the race car stays a statue in the back yard :)

Car is basically stock with FMIC, and 14 psi of boost Eibach springs and KYB AGX shockers. I still had 40kg+ of stereo gear and spare tyre in the back to try to weight the car better.

Handful yes, Hicas is still working which made it pretty skittish. I think inexperience on my part for most of the errors.

Exploring the grip on RE55's is exciting especially when they are cold :D

I learned heaps on the day and managed to pull 10+ seconds off my first lap till the 3rd session. I ws badly held up by traffic in the last session whihc was a shame as I think there was another 2 sec's in the car.

The white and silver R33's where very very fast.

Plenty of fun times to look forward to when the real race car is finished. :kiss:

The off's where quite funny, I was actually quite calm. The 4wd track :) seemed to be in slow motion. I had a heap of time to think what to do. Couldnt turn so waited for the tyre wall to finish before I turned it. :) Would have gone straight across into the wall if I had of gone straight over the road.

Couldnt see the edge of the tarmac due to the sun sitting on the road. Only overcooked it a bit :D

Well done, looks slippery and pretty hairy in parts. I am sure you had to check you paints after the off over the top section at lukey heights looking at that tyre barrier coming up pretty quick - i think i moved to the left of the screen watching it!!!!

Looking at the times, which cars were the white and silver R33's?

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      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.
