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...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
