I can tell the sound of a RB25DET and a blitz BOV from a mile away :D

nah, just ive heard them alot and can recognise what they sound like quite easily... hmmmm... maybe it was that black R33 down the road but it usually dont come past my house and it dont sound like that... sounds quieter (stock exhaust, bov n ****)

insurance assesor just came over and looked at the car..

he said he'll ring me either later today or tomorrow abd let me know which quote to go with..

he said at the moment it gonna be "glossip st. smash"

and i asked what they were gonna do..

they are gonna send for the same front bar from japan!!!!

ffs this is gonna take AGES till they get it here and fixed!

:)

check this oout..

i took my car in to a bodykit place to pick a front bar for it..

i was thinking of a 400r bar..

when i said that to the little asain dude he flipped... :lol:

hes like "wtf this is a genuine nizmo kit!! u cant just throw it away.. i fix for u ill fix it and prime it by monday (i took it in thurs)"

i was like wtf?

he said those kits were expansive as fck and heaps hard to get..

so im like kool ill keep it :):D

he took the front bar off straight away and sure enough there was the nizmo sighn on the back of the bar..

so this explains why i have nizmo badges where the GT badge is supposed to be.. ;):)

na the insurance company had to chose the place

its glossip st. smash (across the road from where i got the paint job quote mark..)

then they refered me to steven's presteige body shop. who reconised the bar and are gonna fix it.. actually the bar should be done and primmed by now ..

now i gotta take the car back to smash place and get them to fix the bonned and bar support (which is WAY more bent then i could imagine! :lol: ) then theyre gonna spray and fit the bar again..

:lol:

then im gonna roll again.. :P :uh-huh:

    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
