Interesting idea and if you hadn't jumped down everyone's throats who disagreed or didn't think it was a good idea you would get a lot more out of the forum. Instead you've started a thread with a pretty outlandish idea and then proceeded to belittle everyone's opinions which isn't your own. Then you continue on and stereotype every member of a forum into 2 categories, posers as you seem to be implying and people who have been around in the car scene for awhile. I'm getting the vibe that you would fit into the latter by your own standards. How arrogant are you?

The point of the forum is to generate discussion and you won't get anything meaningful unless you start taking other peoples opinions on board. If this topic isn't for advice about how or why or where to do something and more of a hey guys look what I'm doing why don't you start a thread in the Projects and Builds thread when you have started it? You coming in here and telling everyone how awesome you are and how out of the box your ideas are serves nobody but your own massive ego. Take a step back, a deep breath and loosen the grip around your cock and start contributing to the forum.

Took the bait, I think this is the worlds worst troll for the record but f**k it.

not sure why im quoting this. from the OP probably needs to read this more than once

Stop asking for opinions and just do it, you big pussy!

You obviously don't give a shit about suggestions/opinions on here so why'd you bother posting in the first place?

Reading some of your silly remarks made me think of good ol' Fry.

How are you planning to connect the aesthetics to the original body - are you going to blend it and sign it down or wield? Which is safer?

The ends of the side skirts will need to be reshaped to match up with the new arches, same goes with the rear pods and/or bumper, otherwise it'll bolt on as per factory.

We have moulded side skirts onto the actual body before, but for it to make any sense, you would need to modify the side skirts by cutting the front section off and have it attached to the front fender so that the whole fender can be removed if need be.

am i the only one that feels as though you're baiting for people to disagree with you so that you can try and beat them down due to their "inexperience" ?

I wouldn't be beating them down if their comments were constructive. I'd take in a comment from a lesser-experienced person with the greatest interest and respect if it was constructive, but somehow I dont consider people that have NEVER attempted anything before raving on how hard something is as being constructive.

Mate, I think you are seem to know what you are doing so go for it mate.

Why don't you post up progress-by-progress updates with pictures? I am really interested in how this shapes up.

Good luck. :thumbsup:

so there are people who can adjust points and people who dont know anything... what about people who know about ignitions systems designed after the 1980s.......also which one of these two groups works on diesels cos last time i checked they dont have point or coils, or spark plugs... if you just weld these massive guards over your standard ones and actually want to fill them out with aggresive offset wheels you will either have to have the car at a ghey height (Ie too high) or have like 500kg spring rate so you dont smash your origional guards.. but whatever go for it it seems like you have alot of support....

Well that asks alot of questions. How the hell would u know what anyone on has done before?? Did you even think that maybe they tried something like this and advise against it because the level of difficulty to do it PROPERLY is beyond the skills of some sheetmetal workers and all amatuers?? A job like this would take at least 100-200 man hrs just to get it to primer and done properly. Just because youve welded guards on a paddock basher galant doesnt mean you know what your doing. Wheres the pics of your good work?? But if your such a gun with sheetmetal why did you start this thread?? Its evident by your attitude thats its your way or no way, so nothing we say will change your mind. Why arent we reading a build up thread of you having already done it?? Are you looking for approval?? Its pretty clear that everyone thinks it will look stupid. My skills with sheetmetal are poor at best but ive been involved with enough custom work to know what your proposing is a huge undertaking. You bang on about being "constructive" so tell us a clear and cogent argument of how to blend the commodore gaurds onto the car so they dont just look stuck on there?? IMHO it will look stuck on regardless as the corner and side profiles are just too different. My apologies to all for crazy long rant.

BTW...what happened in the end.....did you end up doing anything?? (Entertaining read - gives you an insight into what is clearly such a diverse world of VERY interesting people)

and yes I know this was ages ago...

    • 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 $$.
    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
