Yeah me, the car infront and the car behind was just driving nice and smoothly... turned around a corner and was like HOLY SHIT *SLAMS ON BRAKES* saw the car infront inching to the right to avoid the car infront, me inching to the left and the car behind was just about the same....

pistol-pete, was that you with the little domo hanging from the rear of your car? If so your car sounds f**kin' nuts!! :D think it was you that pulled out behind me at the round about on montacute road then turned right down a side street?... Were cars locking it up all over the place last night, new brake pads FTW!

The dude in the silvia was apparently being a tool, hense why he flipped.

How did all of this happen anyway? I could be completely wrong but it sounds like this was a free for all!?! It just seems stupid to me. If we all drove our cars the way we want to on public roads we'd be dead. Simple. No disrespect to anyone but hopefully nobody got seriously injured ay?

to be fair, i saw none of the supposed "hooning" from where i was.

i think inexperience driver + peer pressure from being on a big cruise with 3 people in his car wouldve been a big factor in him trying to drive beyond his limits.

having said that, we werent going fast at all so not really sure how he managed to flip it.

I wasn't pointing blame at anyone pete, it's not my place anyway mate. I just think it's a kick in the shins ya know? Not really fair on other road users in my opinion.

i wasnt saying you were matty, didnt mean to come across that way. i just meant from my position on the cruise, it seemed quite well behaved (apart from the crash obviously)

anyway im happy i dont daily my gtr anymore. cant wait for sapol's backlash down.gif

A good turn out last night...

I was lucky to b in the front pack there and on the return..

I was following a Grey r33 gtr who knew his way and the ability to drive his pride and joy in a safe manner. If not for his loud exhaust it would have been 7 cars in stealth mode thru the hills.

On the return everyone decided to follow me but not knowing the route I pulled to the side and let a few past. Once back in the pack I was behind a silver gtst( I think ) who definitely knew the way with plenty of indicator use, drove very well to the conditions with a nice light show from the exhaust. At the next stop a lovely girl came up apologising if her exhaust had caused any damage to my front bar....i couldnt see no damaged and I praised her on her skills. Its good to see women who can drive the beast..

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
