http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sm...Bad-t32289.html

Unfortunately most of the pics are gone. :(

Here is one of the many "chops" that resulted... i'll try track down the others.

I can assure you it was one of the more epic destructions of a car, but the fact he just didnt get it and/or care was the funny part.

The thread above gets funnier as you read the pages :cool:

There was also a funny MSN convo between MINES_DATSUN & Prank (forum owner)

Can be see here:

Enjoy the walk down memory lane :)

Christ! Who could even consider repairing that sorta damage! But really a 20yo in a gtr is one thing, but the fact that it was his 2nd car to write off while being a dick juz really ticks me off. It's cos of people like him that skyline drivers cop so much shit these days n y they have got the whole country driving like old ladies. Btw love the pic haha

ash while you are at it, dig up some of andru's old threads about crashing his car while racing a commodore, although he wasn't actually racing, the commodore just took off fast so he took off fast too to try to pull ahead, and then the guy in the commodore got cut and apparently rammed him off the road and then a while later he tried to sell the car for a stupid amount of money and people started posting links to all his crash threads. good times had by all

go to the 'options' button at the top of the first post, change the layout from 'outline' to 'standard'

*puts detective skills to work*

I think the "yellow GTR cut and shut" comments/threats that MINES_DATSUN made in his ICQ conversation with PranK was referring to ylwgtr's post in the bus stop crash thread:

This is a really stupid comment.......if you dont have anything nice to say...dont say anything...the guy has stacked his pride and joy he doesnt need to hear this sort of crap....you dont even know the full story....the car looks pretty bad but give me a pm i could possibly give you a chop out and give you a hand to fix it.....it looks like a cut and shut long rear...this aint that bad and if done properly would not be spotted and be strong....anyway i know how you feel i been there before

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
