hmm true hey. im bored as well. just done the whole easter family thing. aint to bad but got mad as food. my nanna is funny as so i luv going to see her. i just dont know what im going to do tnight. any one got anything planned??

Other than running a couple quarters at this sweet place south of me, nuttin, was trying to organise a HPI dvd night, but got the dvd's just no where to have it :(

read the papers thismorning

3 guys charged 2 over 16 and one 16 year old

and they should all be thrown in jail and locked up.  disgusting that you cant walk home from a night on the piss with ya mates without your life being in danger

:werd:

I hope they get locked up for life and ass reamed and have the crap beaten outa them on a daily basis.

Nobody deserves what happened to that guy......

karl sorry man

now i remember heh told ya i was bad with names

yer got it back but back on 1 point again, tho this time the reasons were rather suspect, more like police harrasement, long story but i didnt think being parked in a service station was classed as driving....

america is influencing the young people of australia, once everyone was mates. last nite went to a party im use to bumping into people than saying hi and shit, now they have a go at u wtf. wats the point in going out if ur just gonna look for fights stuiped keep it for the playstation..

according to the papers, they had walked past the group in the park and were heading home, and the 3 came after them with garden stake or something and belted him in the head

frickin sucks that, pics of the 2 that they could show they were both smallish build, nothing huge or nething. the 16 year old will get juvi law cause yer under 16 which stinks if i am correct that is

needs to be like texas :( express lane to the chair that will stop lots of this shit, use a few as a demonstation all will stop. government is to easy on the kids theses days. my old sister was beatin up by a group of black guys walkin home from the pub with her bf. cops said nah nothing we can do, we trying to get them on some other stuff. those guys are still around :@ nice law we have around here

    • 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.

    • 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 $$.
