Hello SAU.

I have recently purchased a 2004 V35 (which was a massive upgrade from my 97 corolla hand me down.)

I intend on learning the in's and out's of my new car so that I can better understand it and take care of it. At the moment it is pretty stock. I don't plan on changing anything soon as I'd like to drive it around for a bit so I can better appreciate the money I spend on it later.

I have friends going to DS this coming weekend (I live in Brisbane area) and may be out there with them.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Heya - Yeah hopefully.

There are a lot of people (mainly on facebook - saying that they are bored of their V or G etc etc.) I guess its how you look at it and what you do with it.

Anyway, here it is. Nothing out of the ordinary.

      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

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
