Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

Dont worry Jayce, wasnt in the 'line, not giving them any bait, but i dont think the Daihatsu Applause owners club would be too happy with me...

And just to add my two cents to the whole P plate death thing, im pretty sure i read in the paper that the p plate accidents causing death/serious injury number has gone down over the last few years, so mayb these days they're either doing it more spectacularly (sp?) or the media is building it up more, personally i think its a combination of the two

"im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas"

Sorry veilsider r33, You are giving the "Left Wing Pinkos" a bad name.

The media and the Govt are doing the job well enough. (of demonising Skyline owners)

My opinion - the power is in the head and the foot of the driver. Self Control of both. It's not an age issue, not a gender issue, not a type of car/truck/bus/train/plane/tredly issue, not just an experience issue either. It's a common sense issue.

Some times sh!t happens. Prepare yourself to deal with consequences when you make choices. Then get over it and move on - if you live!

Even the worlds best race car drivers have accidents and not all survive.

All living things including Humans take risks.

PS.

I didn't show commonsense recently and I've been driving for 25 years. It easily could have been my GTR on the front of the CT last week. So I am not a P Plater and I'm not young, hence I disagree with you both.

It could then be argued that common sense comes with age but point in fact - it doesn't. We oldfolk just start taking less and more calculated risks.

I agree with you Richard...

Its all about choices...

Were all crazy drivers sometimes, but some people just think if they put there foot to the floor, they will look cooler or some crap...

Knowing what my car can do, i do limit myself to things and im prob talking for alot of people here. Some people just have not grown up yet to realise "CARS" do kill!

Sounds like Fred Flintstone's car.

Anyway I disagree, I tried using my head on the accelerator once and there were problems seeing over the dash. Took me ages to get the ding out of the front bar where it nudged the wall when I was reversing...

Spotted this morning while taking my GTR back to have the air cond fixed

Hi Danooh;

Mind if I ask where you are getting it fixed and if you're happy with the outcome? My compressor (make that the car's compressor) is making wierd ass noises, might be a bearing. My ass sometimes makes wierd compressor noises too but I'm not goin' there...

Anyway would be good to take it somewhere that's worked on them before.

Cheers

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
