move house

call foxtel and arrange appointment - takes 1 week

fox guy turns up.... informs me cant have cable as the dick next door cut the cable and fox arent' allowed to reinstall it.

fox guy then puts this in system as "line of sight issue" meaning satelite is declined

call foxtel and explain situation... no avail

call foxtel and demand satelite... satelite approved, call back in 4 days

call back in 4 days time... satelite pending approval, call back in 2 days

call back in 2 days time... satelte denied due to line of sight.

crack shits and demand satelite team to come to house - takes 1 week

satelite guy turns up at a different time to when he was booked, calls me and explains that of course my house is fine for a satelite. advises me he will rectify situation and to call in 2 days

call back in 2 days time... satelite approved - however still need to update address as satelite not cable. - call back in 2 days

call back in 2 days... still not done... call back in 2 days

call back in 2 days... done - satelite install crew booked. - this will take 2 weeks

2 weeks later, install guy rocks up... at 7 am... its a cable install guy, NOT a satelite install guy.

call foxtel and ask WTF? foxtel advise me that my address is a cable address - not a satelite address.

crack shits and tell them to change address to satelite. - advised this will take 2 days

demand to speak to manager - same story.

call satelite company, NOT foxtel... whole thing sorted out in under 3 minutes. - satelite guy rebooked.

now waiting for him to show..

currently he is 2 hours late.........................................................

Boot is different on USA version ad front bumper

Deffs need to get blacked tail light billy!

They are meant to be the same exterior, just rebadged. Only reason it'll look different is because it ain't a proper picture of the car

should kill him when he gets there if he is the wrong person again.

thats f**ked up.

not good hamish, id put in an internal complaint for you via telstra but i cant because foxtel is seperate everything :(

hope it all goes ok

let me know if you get dicked around ill see if i can flag it internally somehow if they dont help

lol Hamish...jimmies status: rustled.

It's unbelievable what happens these days when you deal with the deadly combination of strict bureaucratic processes and pepole who don't do their jobs properly.

    • 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 $$.
