I have read this thread with interest and am happy to see that the majority of forum members have sensible opinions about this incident.

I have yet to offer my opinion on the matter to date, apart from agreeing with some others.

So therefore without further hesitation I would like to announce:

MINES_DATSUN - you win B-Man's TOOL OF THE YEAR ! ! ! ( and it is only Janurary - he he :D )

Oh, and here's some tips for you :

(I've listed them all out so you can print them out and put the print out by your bedside and recite it before you go to sleep)

Please do not fix your car

Please do not get another Skyline

Please enroll in Advanced Driver Training

Please get a job and earn money to pay for your next car (and insurance, see point below)

Please do not rely on your parents to bail you out all the time

Please insure your next car with that Insurance Company out of the Cayman Islands

Please find another interest other than cars (Girls are good !) (SAU Fathers, lock up your daughters......:-( )

Please go post on other forums - you waste bandwidth with the amount of attention you attract.

Please throw away all you G-Tech Pros that you use to measure how fast you are going on public roads.

Please think about how many people you could have killed (including yourself) if you the situation was different.

Please think about how you affected all other Skyline owners insurance premiums with your contribution to the increase in 'stupid immature dumb things eva done by 20 year olds with a quarter of a brain'

Please think seriously about taking your perceived ability to drive to the track where you can't do anything else but wreck your own car.

Please do not break the road laws any more - they are there for a reason

Please do not break the age:power to weight ration any more - there is a reason for that too.

Please turn yourself into the authorities for all of the above - maybe they can help you ?

Please ??

i cant belive this shit happens around the world too thought it was just here

parent buy the kid a fast car

he goes racing (or doing something stupid)

crashes it , gets killed or paralyzed

if nothing happens to him go back to strep one

gee , i mean if you cant drive properly then dont drive

and a gtr is too much for you as it is too much for me , maybe you should get a a RB20E (not even a DE) skyline with an auto tranny to get you started not a gtr .

wish the best for my self with 90% of the crazy drivers here.

cheers and condelences (to the poor bus stop)

Holy crap, is this going to be one of those famous internet "Read what this stupid fcukwit did..." threads that gets posted around from forum to forum until we have people signing up from all over the world just to say hi in this thread?!?!

SAU IS GOING TO BE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks MINES_DATSUN!!! :D

the previous car i had before was a 355 xcop vt commodore.. rid that off.

now its this r33 and i hope my r32 wont be ridden off ...

the reason why there was all wires near the boost gauge ( as you can see it was a gauge lieng around) was becasue my wires were getting fixed about 10 minutes before the accident. ill have full spec details on the car (images) .

i have had ylwgtr2 to come over and have a look with his professional assitance i now have plans on what im doing to get this beast back on the streets

thanks for all the flaming and i appreciate the people wishing me luck next time.

Cheers

um, can you please tell us wtf a 355 xcop vt commo is? if you mean 355 cu. in. WRONG!! if its a vt series one, it'll be a 304 cu. in. (5.0 lt) if its a series 2 it'll be a 350 cu.in. (5.7lt)... or do you mean kw... cuz they still aren't up that high!!!

to tell you the truth i can probably drive a car better then all you 20 year olds in SAU. not the old dudes in here no way.

all i have to say i was unlucky. now shut your frigin mouths and stop flooding SAU with bullcrap thats already been said by people 90times.

Cheers

to tell you the truth i can probably drive a car better into a bus stop than all you 20 year olds in SAU. not the old dudes in here no way.

Cheers

Fixed - and agree !

MINES_DATSUN - go away and buy that Gemini !

Please !

:bahaha:

Maybe PranK made this up in an attempt to beat fast fours in this month's car website rankings lol

    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
