Recommended Posts

Well... it's been an age since i posted last, but heres my latest batch of Japanese pics.. The event this time was D1, round 5, held on Sunday at Ebisu Circuit.. Top day, some amazing action, a few crashes, and lots of fun! Enjoy the pics!

Carpark Pics....

All these cars were driven there/back..

very nice pics mate, bring that handy camera of yours to the gt300 next month

am now kicking myself that i didnt take up your offer

whats the story with the rb20 under your name? you hooked yourself up? mate if you have then get your ass back down here and we'll tear the hell out of the mountains.

the monkey was cool he can do flips and handstands and all that stuff.

i didnt know you headed up over there me and dino (DCD) was hanging out over to the side then left as soon as they gave out the awards.

got any pics of the bee racing 324 jumping the supra?

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Do you know why Top Secret dosen't seem to participate in this years D1? I saw Option Vol 136 In sugo and there was not a hint of them!

Orido seems to be back at commentry, I guess drifting a 700HP car was never easy.

EDIT: lol never mind, just saw miki had a Fairlady Z now, was looking for the old S15 all the time :D

:) wish i had went too... dammit.... those pics are crazy man.. when is the next one? ;)

Hey there is a car meet up tomorrow nite at yokohama pier.. http://www.osanbashi.com/ that pier..

I think its organised by the BMW boys, my friend is taking me there. It starts at 19:30 and apparently they have some nice hotted up cars there too... i hope so..

but will keep u guys updated...

Nice pix poida... Just thought about it too late but we should have exchanged mobile numbers. I could have put you on my guest list! Realized too late!

Hope you are going to Fuji in October?

I've sold all my pix so I can start posting some on forums now.

    • 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 $$.
