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

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
