Another Skyline Crash. Next To Story Bridge Hotel


Recommended Posts

Bugger! (See what I did there?)

I hope the reports of alcohol being involved aren't true, apart from anything else it will nullify insurance... either way, I hope it's all sorted relatively painlessly for all involved. I've had to deal with insurance and repairers and whatnot a few times now (none at fault thankfully) and it can be a pretty stressful time.

This is my local, and it is amazing how many ding's happen around this place.

I have seen a 50 year old bloke put down his new duke 990 going about 10kph, seen a hilux up the back of a land cruiser GLX, seen a road cyclist cleaned up by a lexus IS200 and now this....and all in the space of this year.

for those interested this car is a series 1.5 or 2 and its sitting at ABC spares in oxley with the drvers airbag popped and a $6700 pricetag on it. saw it today whilst I was there.

    • Yeah, I don't believe the M35 uses a deadhead system.
    • Have you done your thinking backwards? 3 bar, 43.5 psi pressure drop being the presumed specification for an injector, means you need 3 bar upstream when they are firing into atmospheric pressure, and more upstream pressure than that when on boost (you add your boost to your rail pressure to maintain 3 bar across the injector) and you need..... less pressure upstream when you have vacuum in the manifold. So, presuming that you're idling at -10 psi, then you only need ~23 psi in the rail. I realise that I did not need to say all of that to you specifically Matt, once you'd realised your mistake. It's mostly there for complete clarity for others.
    • Have you reached out to the guys at Spool Imports? They are a Ross dealer, I can imagine they would have the rings just sitting on the shelf (I could be wrong).  
    • There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.
    • The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it
