You Know You Have A Hot Car When...

I was fitting my Aerpro antenna adaptor in the stag this morning when I noticed some c**t has ran a key (or something) down the side.

maybe this is a compliment saying "man that is a hot car... well done".

I guess I am lucky I didn't see it happen... someone would be trying to bail me out of the lockup this morning.

I feel your pain man, since having my stagea for 9 months I have 2 door/trolley dings and 4 scratches from carparks. This would be more than the entire total on the previous 16 cars i have owned :wave: Its to the point now where I don't even notice if there is a new one.

I have numerous scratches and dings. It does not seem to affect the POWA!

Latest one was a doozie. Turning left into my doctors driveway I was hit by a speeding bicycle, being ridden on the footpath, I could not see him because or the parked cars. Scared the sh#t out of me. Rider apologised for not looking where he was going. No helmet, with Ipod. Shot thru before I could get out of the car. Rotten #@@**ard had broken one of the front bar fasteners. Thank God for zip ties.

I had a lovely Subaru Forester owner open their door into my once spotless drivers door (I was in the surf at the time). They must have been very enthusiastic as they managed to remove paint! I hope they don't plan on returning to said car park anytime in the future as it is a bit of a black spot for Silver Foresters now apparently...

:(

:wave:

have you heard Dennis Leary's HBO special "Lock and Load" ?

At the very end he talks about finding his daughter drawing on his brand new dark green landcruiser with a rock. I damn near wet myself everytime I hear it.

yeh little mr.attitude is still with us

after I busted him for the second time trying to write on my car (silky snow pearl), well, lets just say the thought hasnt been entertained in his little head again.

would love to have it fully resprayed (still white pearl tho) and tidied up.

going to ask insurance about fixing the crack to the rear bumper (dont ask me how it happened, prob some dodgy bloke kicked it where it was repaired once before in japan), and get the rust done at the side mirrors

The worst scratches I have, and there are many now I look closely, come from my 14yo and his school mates swinging their great heavy bags into the Stag without any direction control. Those 101 bloody zippers are real cruel.

my stag was the innocent by stander in a collision with a motor bike on tuesday :D

Some lady was let into the line of traffic from a car park and a motor cyclist came up the right hand side of her and collided, pushing the bike up the left hand side of my car.

There is rim damage, scratches all down the side, the back panel glass is etched with two big lines, the mirror casing is cracked and mirror smashed.

Just what I need while trying to sell her :(

I came out of some shops, just to see the white prado reversing out of the park next to mine, using mu bump strip as a guide, it seems....

it's just the bump strip that's damaged, and I guess that's what it's for, but crap.... the bastards saw me and took off, not so much as an apology.

The day after i bought mine a lady was trying to park and drove into mine. She drove off but didnt realise the guys watching was the owner and his two mates. Still waiting for the cops to give me some type of feedback.

That sucks thou. Probly one of the same pricks who steal badges off my dads HSV.

But they are right thou, how dare anyone have a nice car and take pride in it.

I LOVE SHANNONS INSURANCE!!!!!!!!!

Not only are they taking care of it, they have waived my excess, it doesn't affect my no claim bonus and its my choice of repairer.

All I need to do is get a quote, they'll assess the damage to the quote and give approval for the work to be carried out!

awww Kylie that sucks the big one! Hopefully insurance will take care of it?

    • I definitely get the low power, sporty car to drive to smash gears but not be doing eleventy million miles an hour! It makes all the normal drives fun!   Rev match tune sounds like the funs! I didn't know the NC had a DBW throttle!   As for me, still have the Skyline, it still has the Barra in it. It's been pushed to the side of the workshop at the moment. Pretty much waiting on me finishing the wiring, and dropping new fuel lines in. Got myself an ACDC Tig end of last year so been teaching myself TIG welding to build a few things for the Skyline. The missus wrote off her GTB liberty at the end of last year, and got it back on salvage rights stupid cheap. It's also still registered, so will mean easier for me to take to the track already done most of the panel damage, just playing "clear the workshop" to make space to pull the motor and box out, fix some oil leaks, replace the clutch, and replace a few minor broken things.  Also got a Lathe at the start of the year, which is adding to the annoyance of no space, which is another reason I'm trying to build things to get more space, to get the Lathe back in a final home for it. It's a BIG lathe, can turn a 355mm diameter, and 1metre between centres... Got it at a steal! So between it and the TIG and old MIG welder, I'll be fabbing some fun little shit up But we've had a lot of shit stuff happening at home, so it's slow going getting things done. But one step at a time!
    • I love Catalunya.  Got a 1:54.632. The AMG is a hoot.
    • I hadn't got that far, my main worry was the connection to the actual calipers themselves. I'm just using new (ish) stock brake lines in the stock setup. I've just had a stud welded to the knuckle that is a little lower than the original stud (so my knuckles have two studs each side) to not have it be stretched so far in previous BBK setups, so the "block" (in the second picture) mounts a little lower for me and I hope I don't need to change anything. I may have even changed the connection to the calipers in the past and have since forgotten I did that. I may not have. Guess how I'm gonna find out. Source: hopium
    • It's more so I'm using the 1x piece line from HEL that goes from the body to the caliper. There's no middle block/mount like the HFM ones or the GKtech ones. There are certain angles/suspension compression where the line actually slightly contacts the ARB. Below of how mine sit (not my photo): How I want it:  
    • Oh I have mine all sitting in boxes ready to go, two sets of rotors, four sets of pads and caliper rebuild kits. They send a survey asking me if I had installed them months ago :p Grinder not necessary to fit the fronts, and not *really* for the rears. They have some good simple videos on how-to. I don't understand brake lines but from what I understand... somehow... OEM lines work, even though people say 350Z and 370Z use different banjo bolts, so it's possible 350'z had some different setup that Nissan changed to the 370Z/R33/R34 system? ....though are a little short, but past-me made a new bolt hole to bolt them to to reach my current fronts so I should be okay... maybe. In any case HFM don't sell any *different* line kits for R33/R34 front brakes than they do for the 370Z kits. So in my mind they must be compatible or they would have different products made to suit the different calipers. Please test and confirm for me kthx.
