Sooo, pretty disappointed atm, I thought I made a mistake and Pettett was right, my car WAS too low... WRONG.

Didn't touch the car since the defect, didn't raise it, didn't change exhaust, nothing. Took it in to get RWC 2 days later, passed first go.

Took it to Vicroads this morning, they height checked it + listened to exhaust, both passed. What the f**king shit is going on, Will be carrying a tape measure in the car from now on so I can measure his bullshit $3 dollar bunnings caster wheel next time.

Which model specifically and for what use? A girl I knew, who practically stalled everytime she moved off the line (dat cringe when 300rpm launch), managed to get her daily driver Wrangler to 250,000km before it developed engine rattles.

nah 90s cherokee (xj) just something to use instead of the new hilux putting way too many K's on it already and too paranoid to get it off road lol would be nice to throw something around on the dirt without worrying about scratching the paint

found a couple that i'll be checking out on the weekend. btw are diffs expensive? :ermm:

lulz if Petite was innocent all along and had just been issued with the wrong equipment and law book.

Make a complaint to that police internal affairs body, Borci. The more legitimate complaints about that guy, the better. I'd love to see the bullshit he comes up with to justify your defect.

In Jeeps, yes. Same for gearboxes. No parts held in Australia and no one will touch them for cheap.

Yep planning on writing up a draft on the weekend, but have no idea where to start on any of it :P Just know that I've got enough anger to do it.

On the topic of bonnet bulges, mines actually there for a reason to fit the supercharger in.. :D

re: commo one, saw a senator with this sort of style and it looked f*kn baws:

or else what about the standard hsv one?

+ 1 Write a letter of complaint

Will take 10mins of your time, and if enough people do it things might start changing

Sick. I copywrite, so if you need a proofread / to make it formal sounding, I can do this for you. Anything for my buddy Petite!

As for a start, literally just start writing about how pissed off you are and exactly what happened...including swear words...then once you've got it all down, start cleaning it up / swapping out words / ordering everything.

was probably expecting a bribe

yeh, or if you get a fine, just give them a fake name.. lol

soo what happens here, the rental company giving you another car?

who you rent from?

nah the defect only says i cant drive it after the 6th, so ill drive it until we go back.

sattelite rent a car

LOL Aaron... You're just a defect magnet. Was the rental car bright orange?

I wouldn't risk giving them a bribe :P That would be worse than passing the defect notice onto the rental company.

lol it was funny, he goes, do you have your license, and i was about to take it out after saying yes, and he goes "ah ok good and walks off hahah

My bad, forgot it was Ford/Evo/Bike/selfloathing/hate or nothing.

i agree, i like the CV8Z!

if the car measured up, then i dont see the problem

Yes, but as matt said the place looked after him as they have a working relationship. Lets be honest all of our cars are probably not roadworthy if they want to be knts about it

yeah i get that. was just playing a little devils advocate. we want to get this letter written, not to discourage him

    • 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 $$.
