Short story, big spider actually huge spider in/on car, car needed to get to mechanic tomorrow evening...and well I'm not getting into it in fact I'm not opening my garage door...so hoping someone not scared of them can help with its transportation to mechanic tomorrow...I could bomb it to my hearts content(but its too soon for def death before booking with mechanic), I am that scared of them I dont know if ill ever drive the thing again..not for the faint hearted as its bloody massive and could be anywhere by now.

Im in narre area and can follow with another car...any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks in advance,

Dani

Where is your mechanic & what time does it need to be there?

I am in Pakenham & have the day off tomorrow... Gotta do some Xmas shopping, so I will be in/near Narre

I'm aracnaphobic and have had it happen to me several times. They seem to love my windscreen and then make their way inside the car through the front guard/door jam area, emerging right where I'm sitting :-)

Its that big I need a shot gun.

And like i said I could bomb it, but I honestly will not be comfortable driving it, and that means i have to get close to it..Im pathetic cant even look at spiders if I do, i have them all over me...those with the same fear understand...its horrible. I honestly have zero intentions of even going into the garage.

Iamhe77 I dont finish work till around 6pm its not due at mechanic until 7-7-30, mech is in oakleigh area.

couldnt be that big could it? I had a big hairy one that was about 7cm in diamiter spread out living in my car for 4 months. would crawl out of my engine bay and cross over my windscreen when im driving. Lucky for me I've got abit of a delayed reaction so I would notice it before it would register that is a big ass spider. My mate hated it and wouldn't get in my car which was all good cause he would drive instead..ha

You've nothing to be afraid of.

Random fact to allay fear..

The average human eats 8 spiders in their lifetime while asleep.

Some sources say up to 3 per year.

How many humans do spiders eat?

Did I help?

lol burn the garage...hahahaha thats a last resort, I did get a quote from a bugman $250...wtf, id rather burn the garage..haha

No seriously im saying massive...not so much its legs, but it had this huge ass body, granted I didnt hang around long enough to see it spread out...not the normal huntsman style, and no way was i investigating futher..I so should have taken a pic but i was shaking too bad to even call my boss to pick me up for work let alone take a picture!!! AS it was i had to crawl over the exterior of my car just to get out of my damn garage, quite obviously the spider had marked its territory on that side of my vehicle and the garage.

If im asleep and munching away on them...sweet if i happen to wake up mid way....I think id have a heart attack, and this thing was that big I'm sure it would amount to about 7 ppls quota.

You found someone to do it? No worries.

Just thought I would offer (I used to suffer from arachnophobia myself).

Best of luck!

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
