I was in a rush one afternoon and about to leave only to realise that id left my wallet inside,well i thought i did,and so after looking everywhere for it i decided to look in my car i put my knee on the passenger seat and as i was bending over to look under the seat anyway my knee slipped and it caused my head to become wedged in between the drivers seat and the steering wheel,the seat was close to the wheel cause id been vaccuming it earlier on,this meant i wasnt in my origional position to pull myself back out.It was very awkward but i ended up using the latch to slide the seat back and got my head out.

HAVE A WHALE OF A TIME IN A SKYLINE @TM@ :elaugh:

ive got a couple more :(

1. Driver door closing on my leg whilst I am installing or modifying something has happened more than once, doesnt seem to stay very well at half mast and I cant fully open cause of the other 34 parked next to me in garage!

2. Passenger seat tried to kill me: I was trying to release it forwards from the drivers seat [with belt on] so as to let someone get in the back, I leant across and hit the latch at the side [thinking I would catch the seat it on its way] but it was way too quick for me and copped a nice hit on the noggan for my efforts :)

Have banged my head on both boot and bonnets - these hurt!

Just about everytime I pull a part of the car, which happens almost weekly, I manage to cut, bruise or damage myself in some way!!!

And I am not even the accident-prone type :)

There was an incident with the exhaust - but I wont go there...

I can't do anything to my car without being hurt in some way. Whether it is removing wheels, exhaust, changing oil, shocks, hicas bar or whatever I always manage to bruise or cut myself!

I hit my head on the boot latch probably once every few weeks, maybe i'm a slow learner :)

never been hurt by my own car cept a couple of years ago when I ran over my own foot with my own car.... i put the car in neutral and was rolling the car backwards while standing beside the car using the steering wheel to direct. I forgot to count for momentum and ran over my foot. :)

But then again... body parts can grow back (i think) as long as your car isn't hurt, who cares?

    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
