Iain did say that it made a difference.

Not as significant as the front brace; but it doesn't deal with the same kind of loading either, but he felt it was worthwhile.

I'm getting one. ;)

just ask someone who has one right now...i think iamhe77 has one on his, or zel02 who owned the bars previously

I can't really compare it with and without as it came with the rear bar (and a "different" front bar) installed already and I have not been bothered to remove it yet.

I can tell you that it corners much better and flatter than my NM35 which had Nismo suspension (current PM35 has Bilstein struts and stock springs).

OK for those that have said they want to be in this I will be sending you a PM by EOB today. If your in and you do not receive a PM from me please contact me.

Just a heads up guy's....I will not be chasing you on this....if payment is not made by the 1st you wont be on the GB.

Can you please PM me back when payment is made.

Done, thanks Craig.

Would I be correct in saying that delivery date is likely to be minimum 8 weeks from 31 July?

You said 6 weeks for production in the opening post, so I figure a week or so to deliver to Australia, then about a week for them to reach the individual states?

Sounds about right........give us a couple of days to process payments to OX though.

Will OX be wondering why they are selling heaps of rear braces but no front ones? :whistling:

Hey guys i wont have enough this week to put through but i dont get paid until tue 31st, is that okay or am i out. Because ive got sway pars and links and all i need now is this and daleos front and its done?

I'll pm you when I get to my laptop...should be ok.

this worth while for v35 coupes? scotty on another note im gonna get a GT3582r 1.06 rear .70ar front housing - using HKS ST 3037 kit, do i need anything special to make it fit?

is this bar a must or do i just get the front ? i got every other handling mod lol

    • 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 $$.
