Ok,

Today in Sydney it is cold and raining . . I get off the bus and go to my car as usual, a young asian girl is stressed crying asking for my help,

Help us please we need to get home but we have flat battery car wont start. . . .

Ok so I position Stag nose to nose, get out jumper leads and connect up. . . . tell them to start. . . they said it wont start. . . so decided to jump in and start it my self. . . . .

Could not farking believe what I saw. . . reason it didn't start. . . bloody thing was in Drive (auto car) . . . losers. . flicked in to park and it started....LOL. . I got soaking wet for stupidity. . .

Spent the drive home pissing myself laughing. . .

lol dude ... should of played your cards right.

leave it in drive, offer her a lift... AYE ! ...

Yeah and ask her to wait whilst I hide the child booster seat and toys. . . LOL. . . . .

Wasn't the "Wet" kinda girl I was hoping for. . .

My uncle used to be an NRMA guy, called to a job with a frantic woman who'd locked keys in her car. Arrived to see the woman very agitated, and wanting to know how long it would take.

Reached in through the OPEN DRIVER'S WINDOW, pulled the keys out of the ignition, placed the keys in the woman's hand. "Shouldn't be too long" he replied, before returning to the van. (So long ago the van was an HQ panelvan)

I think I'd have been laughing so hard I'd have to call someone else to do it.

lol i got called out of work because my wife said the key wouldnt turn in the ignition and she was running late for work. i get home and turned the steering wheel a little and started the car. yes you guess'd it steering lock was on.

Car in "drive" :) ... yep I've encountered that a few times too from people who have no clue!

The better one was a neighbour who couldn't get his car off a trailer. Him and his mate are pushing and pushing to get it off. I couldn't stand it anymore, walked over and started winding back the hitch and cable on the trailer. Yep, it was still hoooked up. :)

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
