Hey all,

Just thought I'd write a post about what happened to me yesterday as I was driving to Grafton from The Gold Coast. On one of what seemed like an infinite amount of turns around hills I began a long assent to the top of a hill, as I began to descend the road took a sharp turn to the left. As I did so a teenager on a bike was crossing the road and was in my lane. I broke sharply and swerved, however, as there was water on the road my skyline broke traction, went across both lanes of traffic and hit a post. The teenager was nice enough however to flip me off and keep riding. It took 30 minutes to get my car pulled out by a suitable vehicle that was passing by at which time the teenager was long gone.

Not a good start to the week.

Pictures are included.

If anyone has the front right quarter panel or a front bar for an R34 hanging around, please message me.

If my car was in better shape I would have taken another try at him :D

that sucks!

I hope that choad that flipped u off gets many STD's on his genitalia!!!! :happy:

On a positive note, you're headlight seems ok!!! :(

Good luck with everything :ninja:

headlight clips are busted but the unit isn't cracked so I'm happy with that.

thanks :ninja:

geez man you were so lucky not to be hit when you crossed over onto the other side of the road. this will be of no consolation but after reading your story and then seeing the pics I had visioned more damage.

Have you told your insurance company?

The quote I've gotten for a friend of mine is fairly low so its not worth talking to my insurance company about it. Your absolutely right, the damage could have been so much worse. I could have been going that 10ks over the speed limit, hit the kid, skidded into traffic and got hit by a truck. All things considered its fairly minimal.

Grafton FTL !!1!!1!@!

Anything I have had to do with that place was tainted with Boganism, sounds to me, that you were in the hills before Balina tho to me, bad part the PacHiway that, how close am I?

spot on mate, f**king hills and even worse, f**kers on bikes with no road sense.

Couldnt you just choke the little prick till his eyeballs popped out. As likely as not you saved his life with your action and in thanks you get the bird.

I had a similar experience when one of the young punks swerved straight in front of me half way across the bridge. Major brake lockup and the nose pointing the opposite direction. Same reaction. flipped me the bird. Found the dickhead with his mate about 2 hours later loitering outside the local milk bar. Grabbed him by the throat and his mate pulls a blade. I backed off like I was bowin down, got in the truck and pulled the doctor. (metre long iron jack handle.) The little chicken shits ran like scalded cats when i flew out the truck door swingin the doc. I pissed myself laughin. :P

Next time give natural selection a helping hand! Just run the kid over, they are seriously a lot softer than polls, and the parents will probably be grateful that you got rid of thier little s-hit of a child and of the money they will save on juvinal lawyers bills.

ps, I still have tears in my eyes from watching this weeks (as in 2007 series) topgear, so the spelling isnt too crash hot. Deadset this weeks topgear is the funniest ever, they make thier own shuttle and rocket!

I will never ever piss you off Fine line....

EVER

just dont take that doctor out again! :P

Most unlikely as the doctor resides in the 4B. The best I can find in the fineline is the owners manuel. Wonder what damage I could do with that. Severe paper cut perhaps? :)

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
