On my way to an induction for my plumbing course this morning, driving along the eastern freeway at about 1:00pm I saw an Marone R33 rolled on its side. I was traveling inbound and it was on my side of the road. Scared the hell out of me. Looked like a pretty bad crash, i hope no one was hurt. Anyone know who it was?

lets not assume that it was because the person was speeding or doing something stupid straight away until more info has been given on the subject. hopefully it was due to the heavy bashing we got from the rain and not stupidity, unfortunate none the less

yeah i travelled down eastern at about 3:15pm today, and a 200sx [early model] took to the corner of the bridge strut... [large concrete square that suppotrs the bridge...] and yeah passenger side was crushed in, entire wriet off... saw the ambo there and they were just leaving as i rolled past....

hope its no one from here, or anyone they know...

the 200 was a dark green in color, couldn't see plates they look normal [as in vic roads]

having seen so many crashes, i know once i get my skyline i will definately be a safe driver. If i didnt have to go to that induction i wouldnt have it was just to dangerous. I came straight home, didnt beat around the bush at all.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
