spotted outside integra today a white 32 GTR with 2 flat tyres, lookin sad.

And also a white 33 GTR inside the workshop.

Is this normal for integra to leave jobs parked outside?

Bit dodgy isnt it?

The GTR is mine, and no they dont usually leave cars outside, mine shouldnt be there.

Driving down my street on Friday night following a ute carrying firewood, a log of wood fell off the ute and went straight under my car doing a fair bit of damage (most notably, the wheels will be thrown in the bin as theyre buckled to all hell and back).

As the car cant be towed up my driveway due to the angle, I got it towed to my mechanics, which is Integra and which is why it was outside.

So cram your dodgy comment where it fits without knowing the full story.

WTF! I dont give a flying F**K who owns that GTR or what the story behind it is.

Point is I think its dodgy that The GTR is sitting outside the workshop, exposed for all to see.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car (very unfirtunate) but drop the attitude buddy, its just a freakin observation and I am free to express it as I choose.

You call a workshop that I obviously highly rate dodgy, because -I- made the choice to leave -my- car out the front.

You obviously dont realise comments like what you made on a forum can make or break a business. There was and is nothing dodgy about where the car is. There are no mechanics at Integra on the weekend, and I dropped it off well after hours on Friday night. What am I meant to do, bust in so I can put the car inside so people dont think its dodgy?

Integra do not leave cars outside, and if I hadve dropped it off during business hours, it wouldnt be outside. To add to that also, one of the mechanics heard the car was there, and went in -in their own free time- on the weekend to see if I had left the keys at the servo to move it inside.

So my comment still stands, get the full facts before you making comments calling a business dodgy on a forum, that could potentially cost them a shitload of work (especially when they didnt even know the car was there).

Damn! do you work for these guys or something?

Mate, anyone who drove past wouldve seen the GTR and thought the same thing.

You better put a big sign on ur car stating what really happened so people dont think bad things about your precious workshop.

All in all - Who Cares!!

kept an eye out for you/your car, maybe it was a 32 4 door, it was parked behind the 31, and silver i think?

I was wondering who was stairing at me and my car.......

Also, AMARU.......... I think it's great that you stick up for your FAV mechanic and there place of buisiness. I agree it can make or break a shop. Dont worry about small minded people leaving there un-wanted two bobs worth about your ride. It's your car, so you do as you please and can leave it where you please.

while we are on the topic of giving plugs to good mechanics I sill take my car to DYNAMIC TUNING AND SRVICE. DTS . Formaly MING automotive.. Glen and the other boys there are fantastic and really know there stuff.

Cheers.

Also spotted that blue R34GTR again. There starting to grow on me more the 34"s.

Are DTS in Belco now? I watched an awesome Dyno video that they produce for customers doing power runs. Very professional. Changing the name was wise, MING had a bad rep in my neck of the woods.

I think the comment about the GTR sitting outside Ed's was warranted. It was an accurate description of what he saw and I wouldve thought the same thing "Damn I hope that hasnt been left out all weekend" purely because I wouldnt want it getting broken in to or even worse taken!

A simple explanation probably wouldve been sufficient Nik. But yeah I'm all for defending your workshop! EDIT: Sorry forgot to ask, hows the ride? Is the truck company going to pay? That sucks! I had a number of huge pieces of MDF fly of a truck in front of me and go skyward! It was like a movie trying to dodge these huge deadly MDF boards! lol... Luckily I got away with it, sounds like you didnt have that much luck!

I havent seen anyone around in a while! Then again I havent been driving the Skyline so nobody wouldve seen me.

Busted wheels, possibly busted brake callipers (the drivers side front wheel hit the calliper its warped that bad), busted front bar, theres a gap between the bonnet and front drivers side quarter now, exhaust bent... thats what I can see. Its going up on the hoist today so undercarriage can be checked further to see what other damage is done.

Ute didnt stop, and if anyones seen those flatbed hilux utes, the number plates are mounted under the tray and are hard enough to see when their lights are working. What topped it off is the ute had no lights on so couldnt see the plate, and he kept driving without stopping. Filled out a police report, but *shrugs* at this stage looks like im going to be quite a few thousand out of pocket because some **** sucking knob jockey decided itd be smart to carry firewood on a flat bed tray with no sides... ****ing idiot.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
