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?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
