hi all, long time reader, first time poster

never thought about joining, but what has happened today has really made my blood boil

this afternoon, saturday 23rd sept 2006 at about 5pm 'ish

on my street (Green street, noble park)

some twits in a skyline ran over a cat

"so what?" you say?

the fact that before this, they were swerving like FCUK tarts all along corrigan road, merging in and out of traffic

turned into green street and started gunning it

saw a cat and slowed down for it (like they could), but after hitting it, decided to run off

i was behind you the whole way, and i saw everything. there was even a witness walking on the path that also saw and was mortified.

Silver skyline, R 33 with a small wing on the boot

if i had gotten your plates, i would have reported you.

my gf was absolutely traumatised by it, at such a cold blooded hit and run

had to get out and see if it was still alive

still breathing but died afterwards. blood on the road and my guess either a broken neck or internal bleeding

moved it to the nature strip and went to find the owners

JUST PATHETIC! so because it was a cat, it's okay to run off? i hope that karma gets you good, and that the blood on your front bumper never comes off :)

i'm not gonna go and start generalising about skyline drivers. i know alot of guys with skylines and 180's etc and their all coool guys who do the right thing (and have a concience)

but it's just disgusting how 1 person can go and totally change the way others percieve things

i'm sorry, but from now on i'll be sure to pay more attention to any 'hooning' skyline i see and get the plates down :)

end rant

Hmmm - what a bunch of idiots....

thats one of the few things i will not tolerate - cruelty to animals of any kind. I hope someone took their number plate down......

Edit - not trying to look down on you or anything, but if you were behind them, dont you remember the plates? Or is it just psychos like me that remember plates and faces of all those pathetic motherf**kers.....

yeh, i think i may just take notice of anyone hooning, as it's not the car, it's the tart behind the wheel

i didn't really pay much attention to it. i thought, "yeh, his an idiot, better stay back"

but if i had known, i would have gotten his plates down and reported him :)

did they leave any tire marks? do you remember anything specific about the car? I think you should have reported it to the police either way, that way they will seek more witnesses and hence they could have had something to work with to catch those idiots....

I acknowledge the guy was a dipshit and driving like a fool. But in my opinion that cat should not have been on the road in the first place. If the owners were responsible for it's safe keeping they need to keep it off the road.

If i struck any animal on the road, i would stop, feel a little bad then see if it had any tags to get the owners to pay for my damages.

Sorry, my opinion............... You take responsibility for your pets and ensure they are kept off public roads.

also very true....

i had hit a dog, cos it was off its leash. It was literally 2 cms from the tyre after i had stopped - and there is no worse thing to hear than an animal in pain (or a person for that matter)

The cops would not even bother... They've got better stuff to worry about - ie. who's buying the next round of doughnuts!

but on serious note, it takes a sick f**k not to stop after hitting an animal (of domestic kind anyway!)

Exactly..Plenty of them on the road, give the rest of skyline owners a bad name!

Even if u got his number plate, how could u prove he was "hooning" plus its the cats fault neway. I guess it is a bit coldhearted to drive off since u never know the cat could have survived but honestly wat do u expect these days from todays society.

you dont need proof... my boss could lose his licence because someone reckoned he crossed double lines while overtaking...

why was the cat on the road, where was the owner in all of this? imagine tho if the drive had of tried tomiss the cat... lockup and you run up his arse? or swerve off the road into a pole or another car? would you rather you or someone go to hospital over a cat? i hope he damaged his front bar and find the owner of the cat and charges for repairs.

If you let you pet run around the streets your a shit owner, especially if its a cat.

I would also like to raise another point. You being discussted with this drivers behavoir is warranted, but who said anything about this person being an SAU member or even a skylinesaustralia.com forum user?

There are plenty of d1cks out there in Skylines I will admitt. But the majority of us are decent human beings. If you base your opionios of the whole club on one drivers actions, then I think you are a little shallow.

But I do disagree with this person failing to stop.

On the other hand he/she may have been in shock, or may have not been able to deal with the sight of blood etc. Unfortunatly we don't know his/her circumstances or frame of mind.

For a member of the public to report a "hooning offence" and proove it is very difficult.

If it was to go to court there are numerous ways to pick apart " the expert witness"

have you had a fine?

do you drive a high powered car?

did you follow the speeding car?

have you had your speedo recently calibrated?

have you done a vic police approved speed estimation course?

etc...

It would also be interesting to hear your definition of hooning and how it relates to the anti hoon laws recently implemented.

Perhaps you could point out the section of legislation that this individual alledgedly committed offences against.

OR

You saw some idiot driving 3 km over the limit, his car was low or loud, your jealous, whatever it doesnt matter, but you thought you would bring it to the attention of a respectable skyline community and make a hero out of yourself.

Tell me and be honest that you have never broken the law? never lost traction? never had a beer and got behind the wheel? never illegally parked?

I have. But. I have learnt from my mistakes.

I have also many years ago had the misfortune of hitting a person with a car. Let me tell you mate, the feeling you get when you see a pair of legs in the air, hear the bang as the car hits them is the worst feeling imaginable. Have you ever looked over at someone and thought you have killed them?

Luckily I was only doing 40Kph and the person was not seriously injured. But I still had that bad feeling.

So look at it this way, I would rather run over 100 cats than swerve and run the risk of mowing down some kid playing in their driveway.

If you feel so bad, then do something to actually help the situation, go find the owner of the deceased animal, buy them a new one, bury the old one and get on with your life.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
