Came home last night to a semi-blocked road and lots of flashing lights.

There has been an R34 (non turbo, I think) parked in front of my neighbours house for 3 weeks or so, hasn't moved. Tonight a removals truck came down the hill and apparently swerved to miss a car on the wrong side of the road and collected the R34.

I'm no crash expert but our street is a 50kph limit and this looks like substantial damage if the truck was doing 50kph. The R34 has shunted forward and up the curb to hit the neighbours trailer which in turn hit the neighbours Corolla (and pushing it ~1.5m forward.)

It was dark and there were lots of flashing lights and that was before the Firey's were telling me to get off the road, so getting decent pics was tricky, but anyway, here they are.

poor bloke. imagine walking out and seeing that.

Apparently he's not from anywhere near here. The car has sat unmoved for weeks!

Today it has a cover over it, so maybe he came to pay respects and has left it again. :ermm:

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
