Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

I hit a roo :(

Dead centre at the front so the bonnet is all pushed up, grille is smashed, radiator etc etc

I can now see under the bonnet from the sides, even though it's closed, cos it curves up LOL

That sucks! hope it all gets sorted soon!

It wasn't random at all - You were targeted by this active marsupial terrorist herd.

I think it's the same one that tried to get you in Shepperton during the the SAU Nationals 2012 ??

Conspiracy Theory !!!!

X fingers insured .............

Haha I think they're all out to get me.... I've had many near misses since Shepparton. Usually I can see them coming and work out a manouvre but this one came out of nowhere... I think it literally jumped out of the dark to a few cms in front of my car in one leap.... hit it at 80km with no time to brake :(

I hope you took it to the hospital.

Roos are always sneaky jumpers ! I've learnt that their defensive tactic is to "confuse" a predator by immediately changing their direction when they hop along; which is why a lot of cars hit them which is why a lot of Roos hit cars.

Did the Roo have insurance?

If the front was smashed in, the yellow one might have been me :(

it was in the morning around 8:20am the yellow was heading down towards wanniassa. From the damage your talking about its wasnt you unless if im getting blind.One jumped infront of the car in Hume early morning hours was very lucky i was going slow enough to stop.

The black R34 could have been me. Havent lived in Canberra long but yet to see another black 34. Seen heaps of Skylines around, wish I knew about this thread earlier on.

as i was exiting the richardson roundabout, i think i went over an oil patch and my car went sideways freaky shit. then in he middle of the struggle to gain control I spotted a black r34.i would like to thank the guys at fifth gear, otherwise would have panicked and written my car off

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
