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

    • 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
