There are going to be some VERY funny shots......I'm scared.....as usual :)

I'd just like to say a big thanks to everyone who helped out over the weekend you did the club proud and a special thanks to Bec, Chris, James and Ash for the hard work behind the scenes to pull it off (sorry if I missed anyone :D). Overall it was a fantastic weekend and it was great to get to know you guys better. Keep this pics coming and guys....I'll be waiting for those "other pics"....you know who you are :):D.

Big thanks to Paul also for being last to leave on Saturday night, making sure all cars (even if di(ks did leave with their cars unlocked and windows down) and play stations were secure.

Also for being one of the first ones back there on Sunday to set the play stations up again and keeping a close eye on the whole stand over the weekend :)

Ill second the above - thanks Paul (& Sarah).

EVERYONE from SAU put in a great effort over the weekend to promote the club and present a great display at MAS - I'm sure your all as tired as me this morning.

It was also great to see a number of SAU members come in, say hi and support the club as well.

Huge thanks to everyone from SAU and Fangartists for making it such a great weekend socially - Taco Bill's for dinner and margaritas then onto Area 61 for the after party. Great night!! :)

Congrats Leewah for recovering the dyno record (604awkw)!!! - and of course to Nige and the Ice boys who worked late Friday night to have the car ready.

Bring on November!!!!!!!!!!!

LMAO TACO BILLS

:):)

gee sopme top stuff comes outta that place.

OK, thanks to everyone that has put in enourmous effort of the weekend, its a damn long one.

I've just slept for 12 hours straight i was that tired. I could so another 6 easily im sure.

Every single person from SAU-Vic and Fandgers deserves a pat on the back as the weekend went smooth as silk due to everyones massive time and effort that has been put in.

It was by far one of the most fun MAS Weekend's i have had for a few years.

Also awesome too se that dyno was rocked all weekend by all our cars which really makes out stand on the performance car style :)

Nexst year we try get EVERYONE on the dyno :D

thanks again guys, you are the oens that make the stand. I just tell you where to park your cars and order polo's ;)

Nice to see you guys again,

a big well done to leewah, and all the other who made it to the show (with car) i will hopefully be joining you next year :)

Better get my arse to a couple more meetings, seems like i'm always upto my armpits in grease whenever a meeting is on....

That autobarn chick (stacey i think) the one on the right spent about 15 minutes trying to convince me to buy turbos from autobarn :) i spent the 15 minutes trying to convince her to come back to my house..

aaaanyway, should do some work

Hey - no one has mentioned it yet but Kudos needs to go to Berin for being the biggest Pimp Daddy of them all.

I can wait to see ALL the pics of his car with the girls he got. Must have had close to 50 chicks he managed to get posing with his car. Fair effort really.

Looks like a fantastic weekend guys and girls, well done. I couldnt make due the the girlfriends birthday on saturday and going away for the weekend. Next time though.

A lady I work with who had never heard of it took her son on Saturday night and said what a fantastic event it was. Her 9 year old son thought the skylines were the best so well done and watch out for the newest, youngest member!

All the pics floating around are awesome also.

Good to meet you all and have a crack on the dyno lots of fun! Was a Bit Gay that 40 of the trophys went to the same 2 cars, damn there where some nice cars there that should have been recognised in some way. So yeah a good weekend will be joining 'offically' soon itching to get out on the track.

[silver33gtr that take friggin ages to warm up!]

hey guys

Ur stand was very impressive. The cars were mint. I had the white 33 with the carbon bonnet on the Garage Sokudo stand. I love ur cars cause they were all clean, not stickered up untastefull pos like some of the other cars there. Well done guys...hope to meet some of ya one day

Oh gtiarr ur car was mad, i luved the rims soooo much. Took a few photo's of them...swoit

    • 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 $$.
