When i was seventeen i had an old beat LH torana and i was driving back from trade school and was fiddeling with the stereo instead of looking where i was going and i rear ended a....you guessed it a skyline. I smashed it good, i did about 7 grand worth of damage and i had no insurance :P

Of course the insurance company came after me for the money, i told em i had none, which i didnt and agreed to pay the $50 a month hehe. After about 6 months i moved house and never heard from them again. That was about 8 years or so ago.

no offence or anything

its people like you that shouldn't be on the road :shake:

people have to dig money out of there own pocket to fix damage they didn't cause

that really sh!ts me

Left the pub....(memory block)....Car was half on, half off a square kurb, f#cked bumper, f#cked intercooler, 3 f#cked rims, f#cked struts.

Another time I was drivin around a mates fire break on his block in a 120Y, a few years before I had my licence. Lost control and went through his neibours fence into a tree. Was quite funny. Copped a shit load of abuse off the neibours. Could hardly keep a straight face.

Was in another accident too, mate was drivin his old man's VT on the freeway. We reached 200 kmh when the back tyres lost traction round a slight bend. Car spun 180 and started slidin backwards for what felt like a f#ckin life time! Hit the centre barrier, spun and hit the side barrier and smashed into the centre once more before we finaly came to a hault. No one was hurt. Still freaks me out thinkin about it.

Hmmm , where do I start.

Targa 2001 Ridgeway park, L5 tightens , slippery.

Yep it did and it was.

Wrote the R off and mowed down 3 of Tassies finest ( trees that is )

Wirrina Rallysprint in S Australia on the Flereau penninsula in a series 1 RX7 rally car.

Down the hill , clipped the gate post and barrell rolled up to 15ft in the air according to the spectators.

Landed on the football oval and almost scored a goal!

Um no, the persons insurance company paid for the damage i caused. It dont affect the person i hit at all.

Spoken like someone who has never tried to insure a car....nor had to pay premiums once they had made a claim.

May your most prized worldly possession also be forsaken at the hands of karma.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
