I was meant to be going away that w/e - but It's been cancelled...

I might come down for a look-see as i know a few others are racing/spectating, and I didn't get a chance to chat with you @ Nats :thumbsup:

Ash - cool, yeah missed you as well sorry. Kind of left "like the morning after" from the track day and seems like everyone had lots of fun on the Saturday night/S'n'S

Roy - thanks for the offer but already paid this morning, staying at the All Seasons resort which wasn't to bad last time. You guys close to Cowes? Maybe pencil in a beer/steak at the RSL club at Cowes on Saturday night?

I could be in on this. Will see if I can sort entry on Friday. Where are you staying? If you can cancel then you may be able to stay at a friends place with me

So this means we aren't going to Syd to pick up the Cossie?

I was going to ring you today and ask because if not I'm keen for PIARC. Will give you a buzz later.

Well I am in for the Saturday. More running and longer sessions means I can finally get to do some laps and build up to some smooth laps. Will see what mood I am in after Saturday as not sure how much tyre I will have left after Saturday/

I am staying at Smiths Beach so will need to catch up, I am down on Friday afternoon having a swim and chilling

Looks like I will be putting my entry in tonight. Just a few small things to fall into place

So there is Ant and Snowie on Sunday, Richo...but anyone doing the Satursday? I want as many laps as I can get.

Sorry but my brownie points don't extend to the Sat as well Bris :)

Keen to put my name down for a bed on sat night if its still avail Bris?

Yep, sure it will be no problem as long as you kick in for the 1600 fund

NP...by the way I assume that '1600' is code for a night filled with beer and hookers, right?

Will call to discuss :)

You're going down this time Ant

Can't wait to be actually able to use Full Throttle at PI down the straight - will be scary fast in this thing!

Ooooh thems be fightin' words :pirate:

Will be good to see how you go considering the throttle thing and the toyo's...

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • 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.
