I backed into a tree at St Leonards after a nite shift last week. It was actually quite amusing I thought. There it was, the ultimate parking spot, tree in front, tree behind it, just begging me to park in it. It was right out the front of the coffee shop where my g/f was awaiting for the morning after work for me start of work for her coffee, she was sitting there with bout 5 other ppl out the front of this place. I reverse in and "CRUNCH". Couldnt see anything but it made "THAT" sound ya just dont wanna hear! So I poke my head out the window and all i could say was "OOOOPS, YA GET THAT". Turns out i flattened the poor little tree and chipped alittle fibreglass off my bar.

The coffee was good though!

Hey guys and gals, sorry to hear about everyones' misfortunes... Although it could all be a lot worse: a council front-end loader pushed its bucket into a mate's car (JZA80 Supra) after it had just come back from getting a $8000 respray in custom candy that morning.

We nearly cried...

Well they paid the repair cost, even they have comprehensive insurance coverage... It was just a crying shame he got the car back after a total strip-down respray that took a bit over a month (the dude was slow. Good, but slow) and only had it for 3.5hours before it was being loaded onto a tow-truck...

He saw the error of his ways and sold it after he got it back (another month, although this time he got an insurance loaner-car!) and bought an R32 GT-R...

Ah, good that it was a happy ending. I'd really hate for some scum of a council worker to do that sort of thing and do a runner, or just totally deny ever doing the damage (which would be easy to do with a front-end loader I would say).

Apparently a LOT of bus drivers (both private and government) will deny hitting someone just to avoid the company having to pay up. Must be because of management telling them to do so, or imposing penalties on any drivers involved in an accident.

I had a lady in a 4WD back into the grill of my car (damn high-mount towballs!) and she admitted to hitting it. Then when the bill for the grill (which had to come in from Japan) landed on her doorstep she denied it was her car and claimed she was elsewhere at the time...

Our solicitors chatted for a while (it's the principle of the thing!) and she agreed to pay different quote. So i got a mate to fabricate a new, custom mesh grill which was twice as expensive and she had to pay it. Revenge is sweet!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
