I turned a corner at about 20k under (yes under) the speed limit.

Unbeknowns to me, there had been road works during the day and the speed limit had been reduced to 40, these signs had since been taken away.

Furthermore there had been an oil spill that day which was covered with sand/sawdust.

Unfortunately for me the signs had been taken away and the rain washed the sand/sawdust away so here i am travelling around a corner, with oil on the road, at night in the rain, going under the speed limit.

Long story short my car got intimate with a tree.

If i didn't have comprehensive insurance i would be suing the council/workers or SOMEONE for taking the speed signs and oil spill signs away.

But i do, and behind every cloud and all that... so now i'm in the market for a skyline i think (form a lancer :rant: ).

Don't know how much i have yet. Should find out soon. (by wednesday).

Anywho. Just wanted to vent my splein :( Thanks guys, (PS any suggestions on car to buy, looking at between 9-11k, 12k pushing it a bit). PS. i'm on my P's (but i did get them a year and a half ago so i can get a turbo car).

Thanks for listening! PS. i drive like a grandma so don't tell me i'm a hoon or deserve it please!

not really mate, cops will do you for power to weight ratio now if u had a turbo.

unfortubate what happened to your car.

if i was you get a non turbo skyline for now, and then in 18months bolt a turbo to the side of it. will save u all the headaches from the cops too.

see how u go

Just because a car has a turbo in it doesn't mean its over the power to weight ratio.

A 180sx turbo is fine, so is a r32 gtst (1991-1993 model 2 door) in my understanding.

No evidence ever gets shown for this on this forum though :rant:

I'll give vicroads a call tommorow to make perfectly sure.

Yeah, the insurance company would probably do all they could to get out of it, that's why i'm not gonna push the oil point, i mentioned it to them, and made a complaint to the council.

The thing is, i don't want some long, dragged out investigation where i don't see my money for like a year. I need a car for uni.

But yeah, pretty sure i'll be getting a 32-gtst :D I'm hoping for exhaust and maybe front and side grill/skirts, anything else would be a bonus.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • 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?
