As we do not sell them direct we will not post prices but give it a little bit of time for Dale to organise something and he will list pricing or what ever he organise in a group buy as we said before we are not here to sell direct just to offer parts needed for others to sell.

Dale will post as soon as he organises pricing and maybe an extra part or two.

:rofl2:

And yet here you are sharing your room with a tall lanky guy from Sydney

what's Scott going on about.....to much of the green shit bud!.....have not even been over to his house today.

P.S. Scott I think I left my 10mm socket at your house....can you bring it with you tomorrow!

Pricing?

Soon mate :thumbsup:

I'll be running another Group Buy in February, to line up with the projected delivery date of the new Whiteline bars

Wayne has been kind enough to give me access to his retail contacts to ensure we get the best possible deal :thumbsup: .

Wayne has also sent me a set of Heavy Duty, Adjustable Ball Links for the rear Sway Bar. This is a known area of weakness as Andy and Aaron (possibly others) have discovered.

I'll be fitting these tomorrow, as I'll be doing about 1000km over the weekend. This should provide me with some good feedback and I'll be posting my thoughts and experience, along with some pics early next week. They are of a sturdy construction and have some very neat engineering features.

If all goes well, these will be offered in a Group Buy, or in conjunction with the next Sway bar Group buy.

Stay tuned, Dale.

Indeed....very interesting.......couple of thing's going to be needed in suspension for track day's...glad you guy's are working to get them happening.

........Cannot wait to go past some of the R32 and R33's and watching them scratch there head's at a wagon with 52/48 going past em!....lol.

Dale, agree that that the LINK is a weak point but it is not the weakest point. That honor goes to the MOUNT that is attached to the subframe. It is the same part as used on the Murano but it just does not like the extra stiffness.

Current sore is LINK = 1 fail.. MOUNT = 3 fails..

If we can get stronger MOUNTS made that would be of benefit provided it is not going to put more stress of the sub frame that could cause cracking.

Cheers

Andy

Want me to look into it Andy? Are you thinking a brace or a whole new mount? I may have to repair Craigs subframe for him one day soon too.

I'll have a look tomorrow, thanks for the heads up Andy.

If it's similar to the mount in the pic I posted for the link (The Black 90deg pressed steel one), it'll be a piece of piss...

yes, the brace is just the pressed steel one.

If someone could make a replacement that would be "awesome". It would not be complicated at all.

If you need I have a spare one at home with small cracks on both side that I can send to whoever would like to do the design.

cheers

Got some pics & measurements today, will be looking at doing some in 5mm stainless angle shortly.

Can you take a photo of where the failures occur on the mounts?

The mount is attached with 2 bolts into the sub frame. The bracket is positioned so that the the vertical edge that the mount attaches to is toward the front of the car.

I have attached a photo that shows the mount and has 2 circles drawn on it. These are the points that the mount cracks. This photo is of a cracked mount.

Cheers

Why stainless?

Freely available to me, and I like working with it.

They could just as easily be done in mild though.

Are you thinking about work hardening? I intend to put a couple of gussets in to eliminate the flexing that would be the cause of that cracking.

Edited by Daleo

Was just going to make it out of 4140 or perhaps something else but a little thicker, laser cut, 20 tonne press to right angle bend, and perhaps coin where necessary, and then zinc plate it.

I was contemplating making it out of one piece (ie not welding anything) The coining would take care of the strength, or the thickness of the material. Without measuring, the factory one looks pretty thin. The equivalent in 5mm would be strong enough as is without welding.

What grade of stainless you going to run?

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
