Just thought I would tell you all about my Birthday on the 25th of March.

Had to go to work (damn)

Missed the skyline cruise (damn , great weather so perfect day for it)

Silly Billy from up the road forgot to put his hand brake on when he got home , and his nice new little mazda 3 went rolling down the hill and smashed into my front retaining wall. Did a bit of damage to my wall (dont make the block anymore) and ripped his bumper off and damaged his suspension.

Now I think Silly Billy is feeling a little bit SILLY.

Lucky no one was walking on the foot path and no one was driving down my road at the time.

It got up a bit of speed from 4 houses down the road. By the way, I live at a T junction. My house is parallel with the top part of the T. He lives at the base of the T

Lucky the line wasnt out the front , OR I would of quoted that he lived at the base of the T LOL

O well , thats what insurance is for.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By 25debt · Posted

      Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly, by free revving I meant if I just floor it, it gets to 7kish and will start to break up/not hit limiter properly, off boost I’ve driven the car until near on empty. I have a fuel pressure gauge mounted in the engine bay, holds fuel pressure consistently full tank or half tank even when revving, and no the pump sound doesn't change. all the fuel lines inside the tank are fairly new but will look into it, could that also be an issue with the lines outside the tank ?

      Yeah maybe I got a bad batch that only lasted 6 years. Or conversely maybe I got a good batch that managed to last 6 years.    Either way I have sourced a set of OEM hub/bearing assemblies  so I keep hearing! Even from life long mechanics. Apparently this failure is unheard of…

      I am trying to understand how that even happened to the hub... wtf

      Hell, I'm sufficiently wary of the ZSS suspension arms, let alone something like a hub.

      Got it back home and got started pulling the hub off and diagnose the issue. Axle was stuck after removing the 36mm nut so i used a 3 jaw puller to try and push it out and... eH5FXvJ8.mp4   spend the next few hours trying to remove the axle from the remaining hub as it was very much jammed in there when the spindle sheared off. resulting damage as below R53AIy6 - Imgur.mp4   Looks like the was already a stress fracturing in the spindle as can be seen with the darker cracked section My working theory is maybe when the pinion gear exploded last year the shock put through the hub was the initial crack. Then a few events later it finally let go. Just lucky it happened where it did and not 190km/h on the next sweeper or into the hairpin The bearing/hub assembly went in in 2019 and were non-genuine "ZSS" assemblies and no nails were harmed in the process. #BreakHubsNotNails
