hey birty, well, so far i've decided on a gtr front cut (sshhhh!) and a full re-spray. luckily by the looks of it there was no structural damage, just panels.

i'll be posting some pics soon to show everyone the price u pay when u overstep your bounds / drive past your limit.

btw...to those not in the know, it was a 120km/hr crash into a guard rail down mt. coot-tha.

i was extremely lucky not to be hurt and so was the car (to have more damage that is).

be careful ppl, u only have one life!

Jimbo, i did hear some of the conversation...but i can't disclose what was talked about!! Sorry! I value my life :wink:

Luke, I'm sorry i didn't get a chance to say goodbye too :cry: Oh well, was nice to meet ya...and it was heaps of fun hanging with you guys (except for waiting on Mt Cootha for the tow truck, which was not much fun at all for you...). Good to hear the damage is not as bad as it could have been. I'm just glad you guys weren't hurt.

oh my god shell, you were supposed to be sleeping not listening to boytalk.

and for those of you that are wondering about "the conversation", let us just say that slip, birty and myself spent about 3 hours discussing all sorts of debaucherous deeds, nuff said.

on a brighter note it was great to meet some of the guys who i have only previously known by their handle, i was especially shocked to find that slip has a real name, not to mention my shock that birty showed up as promised especially after i ran around mt cootha asking whether he was there and him keeping quiet to make me look like a dick.

i love my N/A but after being whooped quite dramatically by an s14 on the way down the coast on saturday night, i can now justify the expense of going turbo, but in saying that myself, slip and hilly in the vl had some good fun anyway

shell, i too love the elise but would find it especially hard to justify buying a car like that when it is very impractical and beside would't you prefer that i buy a yellow one.

if there was one thing that i took away from this weekend, it was that i have finally decided on how i am going to build my car, the guys that i was with on sunday know exactly what i mean

anyway thanks all for a great weekend and my only regret that was that i didn't get to spend more time with all of you, next time hey

    • 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
