hi guys

well after driving my missus home at 1am last night and cruising back towards the city, there were 4 series 1-2 skylines on the 3 lanes. that was almost like a mini skyline cruise :) . but as we were approaching caufield railway underpass, we saw an accident (city outbound) where there was about 5-6cars stopped (dont know how many was involved) but one of them was a white skyline in the middle median 180degree turned around.

that was such a pitiful sight too see especially when a skyline is involved (and others alike).

well what i would like to say is that i use that road almost every night and have seen some major fatal accidents there. you simply cannot see anything until deep into the apex by when its too late to hit the brakes and thats not inlcuding other drivers and the concrete barrier and light poles.

not to say im a wuss or anything but please, if you do want you 30secs of rush and go dragging, avoid that section as it is very dangerous and if the barriers/poles dont catch you, the coppers will since they are there very often.

lastly, does the other liners go on here? you know who u are, there was 3 of us side by side on an empty stretch of road.

I saw it too, white R33 [looked like a SII] and the other car was a Red Civic up on the median strip next to it - it didnt surprise me, but I was *annoyed* for the rest of us that dont act like that. I didnt see much damage, lucky for them, but its only a matter of time if you ask me. High powered rear wheel drive cars + wet roads + inexperienced drivers or hoons don't mix!

2 other cars were pulled up in the left lane with hazards on - but still should not have been there - its basically a 24 hour clearway unofficially [no parking / standing]. One was an AE86 corolla and dont recall the other car but I guess they were cruising together...

A timely reminder to watch your speed in the wet!

To be fair, it is possible that they weren't going all that fast but I didnt see it happen so...?

is that the S bend? cos a few weeks ago a evo 5 hit the wall doing 100km, marks and paint is still on the wall coming back from the asian umm pool joint. that was a shame to see..

Yes, the S bend.

I don't get what is so hard about THAT S bend - I actually enjoy driving through it, always have, always will [careful when wet of course]. I don't actually understand why so many people have accidents there - I am guessing it is mainly "inexperienced driver" based. Good thing the cops are there then - usually a booze bus but often TOG cars too.

How can an Evo 5 stack if i can go around there at a *legal*cough* 70km/h ?

And i have a boat, and it has much more advanced handling than i?

That corner is great, but i agree you gotta know it... to some extent though. Why would you approach a corner fast if you didnt know it?

Stupidy comes to mind here heheh!

I aint had the car slide, had a fair bit of a squeal though at times, all within the limits of course.

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
