Apparently a blue skyline (dunno what model) was crashed into a house this morning when the car was pulled up for a routine traffic check and the driver took off. Anyone know anything about this? God I hope it was stolen in the first place (would hate to think anyone on here is that fking stupid) and I HOPE it wasn't JD's...though I dare say we'd already know more if it was

Nah, twas not I.

But even the mother-in-law had to ring this morning to make sure. I told her I had to speak softly because I was under the bed, and I thought the police were at the door. Had her going for a good 5 minutes.

Crash actually happened in Ellerston Ave, so more Isabella Plains than Calwell.

Just saw it on the news, was making dinner heard skyline ran around the corner (bad idea in socks on lino) and saw it, they didn't show the colour or car which is unfortunate because that we would have at least know what model and what sort of blue.

I only heard a little bit of this and THOUGHT that I heard that it was a stolen dark blue 4 door R34 from a lady in Chisholm... But again, I only heard just a little bit of it so it could have been two stories in one by the time I paid attention.

I heard this article too and straight after there was a lady in that area that had her pulsar stolen so it may have been 2 in one.

Probably was just two seperate incidents then. Ignore me :no:

Lol, FoX, unfortunately??

Thats gold :no:

Sounds like a P-plater or stolen car to me. But I am biased against p-platers and car thieves in general...

Understandable, but we aren't all bad. I've never done damage to another persons car but I've had damage done to mine on 3 separate occasions. But those P platers are bastards. :(

So which one are you? The car thief or the P plater ;):):P

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      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...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      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).
