what do you think of the exhaust ?

I fitted silencers in mine..


Well ive had this exhaust in the past so personally, and the opinion of most, is that it is the best m35 stagea exhaust on the market with the kakimoto a close 2nd. (Worst is the Apex-i N1 as it as loud as farq).

2 days ago i found a leak that appeared to be coolant under the car and assumed it was the cooling mod leaking (this would have involved me removing the intake to get to in down in the engine). Upon inspection it was the oil cooler line had a hole in it so was a easy fix. I just got a generic hose from supercheap and made fit.

Also installed my old braided brake lines i got back from brick (josh). So good to finally get rid of the spongey pedel feel. Once again for the 5th time now cooling system is bled. edd8b54425267c3818e66959879a89fd.jpgdaf6c1938c1e2d93921ddd33cd1954d6.jpg64807028b3ff2824b8a913ff7bd355f2.jpg7c3c5267a9063c9a83c5920634b826b3.jpg32166982a456b5c39f0713cb659bb298.jpg

Looks lovely and clean (love the foamer), do you also bucket wash after the foamer?

However....

Always hand wash after foam and two bucket technic

Now I did not understand. I have always used this oil in all cars. once tried my ex bmw liqui moly because I got a cheap :D

where the hell do you find all this stuff Josh..

I've searched and searched and rhd is the only result for the other rear member, nothing in Yahoo Japan

that one looks like it would do more than the other brace too, looking at the mounting.

do you wanna sell it to me..

you don't need two rear chassis braces :)

RHD is your best bet, i've used them a number of times and couldn't fault them

$320 Deliveverd to your door

I got mine for $170 to my door. Was brand new never installed.

I just keep out a keen eye for bits and pieces that pop up and are lucky enough to get them before newer stagea owners know what they are looking at [emoji6]

You may have your chance sometime next year to get your hands in these bits from me plus many more.....

I take it you bought yours off stevennnree? [emoji3]

Correct. I was lucky as i had someone interested who beat me to it but he passed luckely. But i saw it on Facebook not on here as my SAU app plays up.

Yeah $320 is a bit rich for a single brace..

I'm trying to tame my addiction for further mods

    • 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. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • 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 $$.
