Just thought you may all find this interesting.

Well after the skyshow on monday, me being the sad, hung over sak i am, went home to bed. I was then pulled out of my deep sleep in a split second by the familiar sound of a turbo spooling up down my street. This was followed by an almighty crunch!. I feel back asleep for a split second then bolted up right and said quite loudly "HOLY SHIT I DIDN'T DREAM THAT", i legged it out side to see a killer 2000 200SX with the entire front end caved in and a magna on the kurb with some serious side damage, but no people?????. The driver ran off down the street!. I had to pull the keys out and turn the car off myself. SO there i was, 2 in the morning, dead quiet, two totally ***t cars and me still half asleep. I t is really strange to be there with no one else after a crash.

Anyway thats my story.

sounds like drunk driver panic syndrome to me.

ala that cop who killed two people in a head on a couple of years ago, then disapearred into the bush and when he sobered up stumbled out burns stylee claiming he was "disoriented". no shit.....you were driving down the wrong side of the road....

Nah nah nah, the magna was parked on the kurb, the 200 wasn't running it stall when he hit. The reason i think it was driven by the owner was because the hand brake was pulled on and the door closed. I think the owner would do this automatically without thinking where as a common crime would just dump everything and get the #%&$ outta there.

      "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!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
