cereal, no-one outside of enthusiasts know the difference between a coupe and a sedan. they think that any 'car' that is not a hatchback is a sedan. In fact I think my GTR is registered as a sedan.

hmmm. I must own the only every built factory R32 GTR sedan.

Your R33?  :headspin:  

To many people crashing cars :)

Well it's no-one's R33 at the moment, other than the panel beater's :)

He's still waiting for the wheels to come back mate :( Nothing we can do until they get returned... Don't worry though, it'll be worth it... The car will look eleventy billion times better with nicely polished wheels :)

sure, someone was obviously speeding.

But, don't the road rules state to give way to your right and/or *TRAFFIC THAT IS ALREADY TRAVELLING IN THE ROUNDABOUT*? Wouldn't this mean that the other driver didn't look, seeing as the 180 would've been about to exit the roundabout when they collided.

The RTA treats passengers cars as sedans or wagons. I'm pretty sure they don't have a category for hatches (I haven't owned one for a long time).

They're all classified as 2 or 5 seat sedans.

Even GT-Rs are 5 seats!

I don't know how they confused a 180 with a Skyline!

I'd like to see them tackle an R32 nosed Silvia by Uras :)

RIP.

Amazing that we have had 3 under 25yo die in sydney in turbo nissans in 3 months.

Does anyone think nothing should change/ we should go on as we are now?

The astra driver was lucky to get away with just a borken foot.

Yep unfortunatly "Turbocharged Nissans" are getting a bad name. Attract too much attention from cops and bogans in utes.

Soon insurance will just be a killer if you mention "Skyline" even for an old bastard like me!

It's making that VR4 look better every day. Looks like a skinny magna to 99.9% of the people but goes like $hit off a greased shovel.

mmmmmmmmmmmm sleeper

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
