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?

      And make sure the belts are tightened appropriately too.

      They care about emissions, and cost the most. Save weight where possible, and make manufacturing easier. Less material also let's the engine transfer heat to water quicker, and bring the engine up to temp quicker, better for emissions and getting them past their warranty period.

      I was under the impression the reason why OEMs are going with solutions like relatively thin "right-sized" cylinder walls with technologies like PTWA and open deck is because they care a lot about whatever marginal knock margin benefits they get from that vs the structural rigidity benefits of a closed deck block and thicker cylinder walls. I also see some weird stuff like plastic inserts in the water jacket around the cylinders to try and equalize cylinder wall temperatures. re: the PRP blocks and heads at the end of the day it's hard to know what is and isn't going to work there, just have to see what the initial buyers say about it.

      Which is why I didn't mention that hardness testing, and specifically mentioned the bore and deck thickness testing. Yeah, not really. The bore temperature will be a lot more even around the top half inch or so, where the material distribution is dominated by the deck, and which is the only place where the bore surface temperature heating any gas in the cylinder is likely to have any effect on detonation. Think about it. Another inch or so down the bore, you might have a hotter spot. The gas there might get a bit hotter, then the piston rises squeezes that gas away from there at high speed and mixes it with other gas from nearby. Instant dilution of the problem. I'd be surprised if it was an issue at any time other than in racing engines or OEM dev engines being run at the ragged edge of tuning. Say what now?

      https://dsportmag.com/the-tech/education/engine-tech-material-hardness-testing/ The PRP testing on block hardness I'm not sure how much it actually can be trusted. The thinner cylinder walls on RBs is a bit of a problem vs 2JZ but it really depends on the design goal. Siamesed cylinder bores like a 2JZ cause uneven cylinder wall temps too, which means a bit of distortion induced by that + the hotspot can affect knock margin. Something that actually gives me a bit of pause with the PRP block, whether super thick cylinder walls are going to keep it from being drop-in compatible on an otherwise OEM rebuild.
