My other half has been using my skyline this week, cus he left his keys out at work (works 2 hours inland)...

Him and his mates bought some air horns, the type you use with that gas stuff..

He left them in the car, in which the car sits outside in the sun all day. Next thing he hears this huge BANG!

Due to the amount of heat, the cans blew up inside the car, and smashed one of my windows.

I dunno what the window is called - but now i need a new one!!!! So anyone that would have one, im keen to buy! It's a R33.

So guys, please don't leave aeresols, or even alcoholic cans rolling around your car. I've learnt it before with alcohol, as someone left a can of jim beam inside, and it exploded.

Took forever to clean!

Cheers Karina

Im making him pay for it.

He's been a bit unlucky lately. He put up one of those shade things, which were held down by 1 brick on each corner.. the strong winds flung is off his r32, and when it landed all the poles scratched each panel, + his brand new if a month old front bar. Did it a couple times..

*sigh*

ahh yes

karina phone or email niswreck and get a price on one off them, dont think it will be cheap but

its not something you see floating around here that often but u might be lucky

no u cant steal mine :(

good luck with it. Let me know how u go

Did you have factory UV glass? If you did then it could be very hard but it looks like you don't from the pics...call some glass repairers and see how much the rear quarter glass panels cost...

New windscreen (front) was $250 on my R33, at least it wasn't the rear window (with the demister) :P

Had the same thing happen to a can of deoderant in my girlfriends car, it was sitting on a CD at the time and the CD got blown into about 40 peices, was pretty funny. Other than that, no mess, apart from the car smelling like Lynx :P Must have been one hell of an explosion on yours, lucky no one was inside! :)

Damn, expensive lessons....nothing to do with luck though. Heatstroke affected decision making maybe.

Good thing it wasn't whipped cream or cheez whiz, now that would have made a mess.

A clip across the ear is required I think.

Jeeeezzz, i have one of those tyre sealant and inflator cans.........can only imagine what that would do to my interior.

please dont use that on the 34 gtr johnny....

i keep one of those tiny deoderant cans in my centre bin... no probs as of yet :D

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
