Driving back home today down Selby St from work and I noticed alot of flashing lights on the intersection of Selby and Nash st, as i pulled up close I noticed a silver R32 4 door skyline with a carbon fiber hood parked on the grass and it had the whole side of car smashed in. Everything from the drivers side door to the rear door was gone.

I hope the driver is alright as the smashed looked horrible. :)

Heard about this, really hope they are ok! :P

Too many ppl just don't concentrate on the roads! nearly got side swipped tonight by an idiot in an old holden turning into one of the Roe HWY on ramps, he was in the right lane and me in the left, instead of sticking to his lane he came over to mine, lucky I was paying attention and accelerated out of there in time!

Being able to quickly GTFO of the away of bad shiz about to go down is a much under appreciated aspect of performance cars :yes:

On the way out to sling some paint this morning I had some crazy hoe in a gold VT hammer through a dodgy intersection nearly hitt me head on, then on Karnup Rd in Serpentine that was some old guy in a Bronco hammering through the S bends, he came barrelling round the bend and I was like "er.. f*#K" and started to take evasion manouvers.. he didn't come unstuck though :blink:

i saw that poor 32 aswell... just after it happened.. there was like a good thirty people standing there looking at the skyline and about 2 people looking at the other pile that was involved in the crash.... fire brigade, ambulance etc so it must have been pretty bad.... my dad reckons they were using the jaws of life on the skyline...... definately a both right offs! ..... jamie

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?

      OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.

      Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset.

      What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny.

      I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
