Bit harsh there Phil, he may own that R34GTR. Feel sorry for the owner, but that is why i don't like towing cars on hired trailers, that are not properly maintained. I have seen this too many times, to take the risk.

I drive a Ford, does that make me a dumb-ass too? (retorical question no need for answers thanks :sick:).

My Ford comes free. With free; servicing; insurance; petrol; etc (not so dumb after all, hey >_<)

meh, i get cut-off, tail-gated, blocked in the fast lane by fords, by far the most often so i feel i have justification to stereotype this guy :sick:

Just to stir the pot a bit more:

F.O.R.D - Fix Or Repair Daily >_<

Errr Hi everyone,

It is my GTR.

the accident happened a couple of weeks ago, and the only one injured was me - torn muscles in my back and neck (pretty much better now).

The car is not written off. In fact the damage was relatively minor and she should be back on the road hopefully by the end of August.

that is the grey 34 as seen at recent events such as Sandown. Poor Neil got into a spot of bother towing it down the hill past Pikes Ck on the Western Hwy and ended up killing BOTH his cars.

Don't put shit on him for driving a Ford. I've also got an AU. It's a bloody good car, possibly the sexiest four door ever made.

Thanks Aaron,

The ford was good - allowed me to get out of this scrape with minimal injuries - but as for the "sexiest" 4-door, I'm not so sure >_<

When I say "relatively'', if it was a commodore and not a GTR, it would have been about $12,000 to fix, but because of the price of parts etc on the gtr you can multiply by about a factor of 4!

All panels down the passenger side rooted, nose ripped off (going to put a nismo front bar on as a replacement), passenger side suspension components damaged etc.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
