noo not another skyline.. :P

hope noone was injured..

Ditto that.

But if he was driving badly enough to smash it like that, he didn't deserve the car anyway.

If he was unlucky, well, that happens, and I hope he can get it repaired.

The biggest thing that ticks me off is when some kids get a beautiful skyline or WRX from mummy and Daddy for their 18th, and they don't know how to drive it, treat it like shit and wrap it around a pole. Usually, they walk away, while a bystander or passenger is injured. It shits me to tears.

Personally, I wish there was a class of 'sports' licenses that were required to drive turbo or high powered cars. Although that would have to be regulated by the government, so probably a complete cock up anyway.

The sad part is, you see a smash like that, and a lot of people blame the car. "Too much power.." "Those imports are dangerous..." "Mavis, did you see that car? It must have been doing a hundred miles an hour, these kids today have no respect for anyone, in my day.. blah blah"

If only we could ban bad drivers. It's not an age thing, idiots come in all ages. It's not an experiance thing, people with 10 years of on road experiance can still be knobs. It's just that some people have neither the physcal ability or the mental capacity to drive a performance car in a manner that is safe for them and the people around them. Maybe getting CAMS involved would help. Where's little Johnyy's email address....

Ah screw it. Vote ME! Premier Koz, I'll remove the Hoon laws, Drop all import Tax on Jap parts and cars (If I become PM) and set up legal dragways all across the state.

.... I think I just convinced myself to become a politician.... :D

Man, the 'line is a very tempremental thing. I remember a couple of times, i pressed the gas a bit too much, and it just decided to slip the tires. Had to pull over and check that I hadnt dumped in my pants! Know the car, know the limits.

GTSTs in the rain with not so good tyres and some good power = potential for bad news...u need to be careful and drive safely. We all learn...i have done that before and u sure learn the the rain and a GTST is not to be messed with.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
