Please Help Me!

If anyone on here has any contacts on Bribie Island, Lives There, Visits there, whatever, and hears of kids stuffing up cars, PLEASE INFORM ME.

Below is the reason why.

Tonight myself and my mate decided to go for a leisurely cruise out to the beach. As we passed the BP on the big round-about on the way to Woorim (Bribie Island) we noticed a group of around 5 or 6 Teenagers hanging around outside the Civic video in that shopping centre complex, watching as cars went past. (we were the only cars heading TOWARDS the beach). Just up past the shops, i noticed something strange on the road, couldn't make out what it was, 'coz it sorta blended in, just looked like a spill of something across the road.

It turned out to be a fallen tree someone (I'm assuming the group of kids) had pulled across the road.

I Managed to hit it at around 60kph. It destroyed my brand new front bar, broke my indicator, i think it bent my front bar support, and god knows what damage it did to the suspension.

I waited around a while, checking out the damage etc, and decided to go home. on the way home there was 2 of the group walkin along the footpath just staring at the car grinning, and another 3 of them riding off on bikes quickly up a sidestreet... i wanted to chase them down but realised i have no proof or anything.

Went to the cop station to make a report out, and was more or less told to **** off, and that it wasn't their problem and to go home.

I'm sure it wouldn't have been their problem if we had left the log on the road another 30 seconds, so that the cop car that came flying past at around 170kph where the log was, about a minute after i hit it... wouldn't have been their problem at all would it :D What a mighty fine mess a cop car + log at 170kph would have made. They even had the nerve to beep and yell at us as they screamed past, because i was sitting on the side of the road with half my front bar hanging off, indicator broken and hazard lights on.

I can't make a claim on my insurance because i only just got the car back on tuesday last week from getting the front end redone due to an animal encounter ($6k worth of damage)

so please, if you hear ANYTHING from ANYONE about this, or know of someone who did it, etc etc, please let me know, i would be most grateful for your help everyone.

I feel so hollow inside, i'm seriously wondering if its worth having a skyline... in the 2 and a bit months i've owned it, this is the 2nd time its been damaged, not due to my fault!

I was the mate following behind in my 200SX...

This shit really gets to me....

In the past couple of years I've had my car graffiti'd, broken into, number plates stolen, key'd, side swiped (fortunately not my 200), kangaroo jump out in front of me (again, fortunately at very low speed so didn't do any damage, just paint), had my friends cars jumped on (crushing the roof down to the seats and bonnet down to engine). And then they've all been keyed or broken into aswell.

Only common thing is that all the cars were nice cars. There really are some dead beats in this world.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
