Over the last year I have had so many incidents with cars....

1. Someone T-boned me and wrote off my pulsar...

I then got my skyline and...

2. Wasn't used to having a low car and took off the front bar coming out of a car park

fixed that and a short while later...

3. Brother reversed into my car... totalled the front bar.

4. while my car was getting fixed someone rear ended me (I was in a nomad) and pushed me into the car in front

5. today someone rolled back at traffic lights and.... took off the front bar again...

Am I the only one that has had so many incidents or are there others out there with similar tales to tell?

wow that's a string of bad luck there....

2. Wasn't used to having a low car and took off the front bar coming out of a car park

Well....that's self inflicted!

5. today someone rolled back at traffic lights and.... took off the front bar again...

Always leave a big gap between you and the car infront...

incident #5 is her fault. you can probably claim some insurance crap to get your bar put back on. (got witnesses? might help you prove you left a decent sized gap + your claim that you were honking her aswell). either that or she's trying out different methods to give out her phone number. :D

well it looks like it is going to cost $580 to fix (need to fix fiberglass and respray)... I have no car until next week now which means no dyno on Sunday :(

Silly girl wants to go through insurance as well instead of just paying for it...

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
