OK so my videos from the skid pan are finally up

There are 2 different versions however both are the same videos

the standard def version is here:

http://sau.loudsx.com/decajune11/lowres/'>http://sau.loudsx.com/decajune11/lowres/

these are 7-10 mg each and will play on most anything.

the high def ones are here:

http://sau.loudsx.com/decajune11/

these are in MTS format and are the full HD and are 50-100mg each.

if you don't know how to play mts files.....stick to the SD ones.

if you want to reuse that's fine, just credit myself and SAU where you use them.

Alternatively i will have them all at the June meeting if u want to bring a usb thumb stick to get them.

enjoy!

Great job mate, looks great!

Tim: You're shit.

I love you too Kieran :blush:

Thank you all for the abusive messages on Saturday night, i don't know what i'd do without you all, i felt so loved/unloved.

Things iv'e learnt being Tim Bryan:

1: Never not drink at a DECA

2: Never not go to a DECA

So i guess I'll see you all in November yeah??

ok so re the videos...

what are ppls thoughts going forward?

I saw from the hits that the low res was much much more popular that the HD videos.

So are people wanting the HD ones going forward or just stick to the Lower res ones?

or continue with both?

Oh and a little reminder...don;t reference where the vid came from when u repost...no videos next time....

cheers

You don't want credit for your work???...

Downloading video files is a bit '90's isn't it? There is this new thing....forgot what its called. Ah that is right...youtube

yeah but quality on youtube is a bit crappy, plus if you want to play with the files make a compilation etc then you need originals.

plus lots want to upload the video of them to their own channel. so this way they can.

happy to just upload the lot to youtube, but think there will be a lot less happy ppl!

+1 to all you said Martin.

Uploading and then letting people do the editing/work themselves is much easier from your point of view :)

I'll end up putting it on youtube or something, of course crediting the work ;)

    • 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 $$.
