Matt,

what tyres are on it?

I think it happened before once also?

Bilal - mate, sorry to hear dude :ermm:

Main thing is that you are ok dude

Has it?

Federal 595s are on it!

I was thinking a wheel alignment issue, because it's not running much / if any neg camber combined with factory springs / shocks that it was actually causing the outside wheel to roll over and run positive camber? Either way, coilovers will be in shortly and then it will be off to road and race for a wheel alignment.

Also started stripping it today as well, race car here we come :)

Ended up moderately ok after the night.

But now i'm trying to salvage any parts from the car, from previous mods that weren't damaged, to sell off.

:banana:

So if anybody is interested. Anything from the car that isn't damaged is up for sale. PM me.

have to start from square one. :banana: , its totally fu**ed. :)

ouch! lucky ur ok though.

From what i can gather there is allot, 85%, pannel damage not to mention the bent chassie.

so did it really happen like it has been posted? Lift-off oversteer and sideways at the 100 metre mark?

Honestly it is a bit hazy and i dont remember much, It could simply be that i was carrying to much speed, as i neared around 195-200, and my car probably couldnt handle it.

+ i bought brand new cheap tyres (Neutons) which were fitted like 5 minutes before i headed to the creek.

I do remember that the car just kinda slipped out after i let go of the accelarator and shifted to the brakes, (could of even happend as a result of braking, although onlookers said my brake lights didnt flash before it slipped out), i really dont know :rant: .

meh, its over now :down: .... plus im over it, hopefully i can get on a track again early next year :D , and its definately going to be a skyline.

Btw, car is for sale :)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/se...72#entry3607472

i want to sell as is, but maybe in a few weeks, i will sell off a few parts.. depending on what happens.

not good to hear.

possibly like u say the car had crap tyres and going those speeds and turning in at the same time as braking, could have made the car go the way it did.

ive been told by allot of people that turn 1 is hairy.

get back into it again champ. :P

if i were you i would part the car out. u have allot of expensive parts on there. and when your done with it then part it out at a bargain price. youll make allmost 2 times what ur asking easy. u can pretty much say the swaybars are f**ked and quite possibly the some of the shockies as well.

GL with it all.

Were all 4 tyres on the asphalt when you braked/turned in or did you have a tyre off the side on the dirt/grass?

A couple of years ago I seen a Porsche Cup car on its first outing (driver had just purchased the car from Jim Richards 1wk before, still had his signage on it) as he put his foot on the brake at the 100m marker the back right tyre was on the grass and it stepped the car around and he slapped the wall where the marshalls stand right at the end of pitwall. If he slid another 5m he would have missed absolutely everything, even the infield grass.

I know i have expensive parts on there, although i'm not very mechanically experienced my self . So stripping the car will take a very long time, and i don't intend to pay for it to be done. lol. So i'm willing to let go of it at that price, beats the $0 i'll get from insurance ;-).

Atm, financially im preety Fkd because of it, soooo now im just getting what i can, and thinking of what im going to do later on.

Yes all four were on the track, i was just to the right of the centre on the straight. i don't remember seeing it at the track, but is the 100m mark, where the cones are, where you should start braking??

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
