this sunday, usual spot, usual time (that's Mill Park Lakes by the coffee shop and at 10am for those that don't know)... make sure you get the bacon and eggs special.

yes and if you arent going to eat the tomato's ask not to have them! i cant stress that enough, geoff has given sau a bad enough name with the waitress lady that i think she is brandishing a shotgun under the counter, waiting until we mess up, waiting until we make a bad move, just wait....to not eat the tomatos

oh and you get a coffee with it :D

yeah i live in hurstbridge... omg i never see any lines it's so crap.. it's like the biggest highlight of my day to see one. From what i've heard there don't seem to be many sauers around this area... everybody seems to be in like south eastern suburbs ...or maybe thats just me lol

I live/lived in Greensborough off St Helena Road (White 32), I travel down (and back) that way (via Ring Road) once a week. Havent seen as many skylines as I use to when I was travelling during the day or earlier at night. Anyone here own/seen the blue R34? or the white with black bonnet R34?

theres a blue 34 gtr that i've seen a twice in eltham if thats what you mean?

yep thats the one seen it on st helena rd heading towards eltham few times. There is also a white with black bonnet GTR but havent seen it for a while.

keep a eye out for me in the mcleoud area

pics there

ill keepa eye out ofr all of u  

this weekend im down in melb

I'll keep my eyes peeled, I'm from Macleod, Black 33, White wheels

Have fun in Beautiful Sunny Macleod!

    • 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 $$.
