Hey every one,

I got in to a bit of trouble today on the coast.

I lost control of my 32 and took out two parked cars :)

The whole left front and rear quater look more like a crumpled beer can than a skyline.

But dont worrie you should see the other two cars. Ahhhhhhh i guess its time like these all you can do is look on the brighter side of life hey?

Its a good thing ive only had the car for 2 months which is not in my name yet nor do i have insurance, other wise i would be really screwed.

Please laugh with me at my expence its the only thing keeping my sane.

Noza

Daddy is not rich, im taking this one on the chin.

I went to over take a car that was doing about 20ks. When i hit boost there was another car that just turned, and is now heading straight on in front of me.

So when i pulled back into my lane (after over taking the slow one) i was doing about 70 and there was a car that stoped at a perdestrian crossing about 4 car lenghs infront of me. So i slamed on the brakes and the whole car drifted to the left and side swiped 2 parked cars.

Only having the car for 2 months im still getting the hang of driving a turbo.

Yeah i stoped, i had no other option. There were about 30 witnesses.

I work in a law office, so i know exactly what im in for. (good thing theres over time this weekend)

The other drivers have all my details, i guess its people like me that give good skyline citizens like you all a bad name to the public.

Im sorry :)

Well.... now we have nothing to rip into you about.... i was here for some entertainment :)

Haha no, well done that you stopped. You could have killed someone, i hope you realise that - learn from this one buddy, even if you know the law im sure you wont be able to get your way out of vehicular manslaughter or whatever the hell its called in Australia.

yep it takes a little practice untill you're able to not mash the brakes in a crash stop situation. hardwire the notion that you don't have abs into your head

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
