It turns out that its not only Skylines, WRXs, Silvias and Evos that seem magnetically attracted to telegraph poles. Just because you've got dollars doesn't mean you have sense.

Apparently this is the story behind it...

From a witness

"An old bloke, around 50-60yo is drinking in the pub all afternoon, he's already pissed at 5pm . The bar staff stop serving him but leave him to finish his last pint which takes him better part of an hour.

This guy staggers out of the pub, hops in his Ferrari and pulls up at the Mends And Mill Point Intersection at a red light waiting to turn left.

The crowd on the balcony turn to check out the car and give him a cheer he responds by revving the engine and either pulling the bird or giving the crowd a wave,. So the light turns green and STUPIDLY he just plants it! In a Ferrai he just stomps on it, now thats a tight left hand turn at the best of times, i think he thought he was driving a Falcon and could spin the wheels but no, with all the traction control that thing has it just launched it like a bullet, he didnt even make it half way through the turn and BAM head first into the Traffic light.

Everyone rushed the balcony and started taking pictures and jeering him, One of the Staff got to him and asked if he was ok, "I had my seatbelt on, hic" was his reply.

The cops ask the Staff to detain him so hes, sat him down (after he had been into the bar, but didnt get a drink). People swarmed the car and footpath and in the bustle he jumped up and legged it through the car park. T the bouncer chased him with a couple of bar staff one of which went tits up in the pursuit and face planted the ground, he was not punched, he was pissed too and didnt see the chain barrier at the bottle shop, we all got a laugh outta that because he came back insisting he'd been punched when really he had just gone guts up in the car park, funny stuff.

The bouncer bought him back and sat him down for the cops.

Cops came and took him away. And yes he blew 0.24 which is obviously 3 times over the limit, he staggered into teh cop car.

So, $380K+ car, over $50K damage to it and no insurance. He'll probably have to pay for the damaged traffic light as well."

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.

      When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
