Ok, a small update.

After a week or so on the car, I elected to get underneath to check everything for tightness, and also take this opportunity to go one hole stiffer (maximum) on the front bar.

I discovered this;

As you can see, the "D" bush has split into multiple pieces. The other D bush is completely undamaged. The mount itself is completely undamaged. The bar itself and the powdercoat is undamaged. There was no noise or anything that would allude to an issue.

I have removed both and re-installed both factory front D bushes and mounts. Because the bars are both the same diameter, the original bushes are perfectly ok to re-use.

I don't know if mine was a random failure (which I believe is the case) and I will be in touch with Todd to get his opinion tomorrow.

I would urge you all to check the condition of your bushes and tightness of mounting bolts at around 100 km or so.

Please contact me immediately on 0410691143 if you have any concerns whatsoever.

Regards, Dale.

I will be able to get either one, just depending on what people want. Todd is happy to make more, but I need to talk to him about the bushes on the front bar. I'd like to go to a factory style urethane bush, I've found them for the rear, I just need to confirm availability for the front.

Just on the phone with Todd!

He's sending me 2 types of bushes today to trial; I should have them on Monday!

Once I've tested and know which Is appropriate, I'll get Todd to post you a set immediately.

So you should have bushes by Friday next week.

Thanks for your patience with this.

Cheers, Dale

Gahh when's the whiteline GB gonna happen!!!

Soon!

We have to wait until the bars are officially listed as a catalogue item with Whiteline; then we can commence the group buy.

Wayne is putting me in touch with one of his dealers, so we can get the best possible prices, as Whiteline must sell for full retail; they cannot undercut their dealers.

The advantage with this is I will be able to offer an excellent price on other Whiteline products you wish to purchase.

I'm currently manufacturing Heavy Duty rear Sway bar mounts from 316 stainless steel and these will be available very soon also.

These will actually be cheaper than buying an new mount from Nissan.thumbsup.gif

I've been in regular contact with Wayne, and we just have to be patient, I know waiting sucks, but it'll be worth it.

Trust me, I'm busting to get this going; you'll know as soon as I do!

Cheers, Dale.

ye same as any other parent company or company that have franchises like mine as part of the supplier / franchise agreements you cant under cut them , its bad business as they are the front for your company who help u profit by selling your shit

the discounts will be the reduction in franchise or dealer mark up

unless you work for the parent company then u just milk it with company discount / product cost

will be keen on these man looking to get the bars the links and ur mounts

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
