Was at Northbridge early Sat morning around 3am, going home after clubbing. Witnessed this incident on the corner of Lake and Aberdeen St:

Taxi and 300ZX facing each other across a 4-way intersection. 300ZX driver waved the taxi through but taxi was waiting for another taxi on the right of 300ZX on oncoming street to go through first.

300ZX driver then (maybe he was impatient???) decided to nail it and turn right. You can guess what happened next - the tail swung left, and the driver then try to correct but overcorrected and swung the car onto the wrong side of the road and BANG!. Hit the other taxi face on. Pretty severe front bumper and headlights damage on both cars because of the force. Lucky there were no pedestrians.

The lesson to be learnt here is: treat your high-powered RWD cars with respect kiddies! Or it will swing around and bite you. Like what happened here. :D

300ZXs and Supras... all much of a muchness, arn't they. Both not built to be hanging their ass out at every corner.

Nor are XR8's

One tried to follow me onto the freeway at Joondalup last night.

He gunned it to stay with me and lost it in a big way with a real tank slapper. Watched him in my rearview mirror as he went left/right/left again and then over the curb and vanished down the embankment.

Stopped to see he was OK when my missus mentioned the train tracks were down there (not good way to catch the 4.45 from Joondalup:) )

Anyway everyone ok although his missus and kids were not too happy.

He mowed down some saplings and ended up sideways against a small tree. Not a lot of damage but I'd like to know how they got it out of there...5 metres below the road in soft sand(Crane anyone)

Shame to mess up a 2 week old car (well more than ford messed it up)

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
