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?

      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 $$.

      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.
