My girlfriend called me today to tell about this goose. So funny.

For those who know it happened on the left turn onto Castle Hill Road from Old Northern Road. On the right side of the shoulder there is a grass strip that is about a metre wide. This guy in the commodore with chromes and custom number plate must have gone too fast and ended up on the grass. Now for the funny part - the strip is narrow enough to fit between the wheels and high enough to keep all four off the ground. LoL So he is sitting there and revving the crap out of it to no avail.

Priceless.

Just witnessed another one today. Not so funny and potentially more dangerous. I was a carpark this morning. Heard the screeching tyres and looked up. Outside, just at the intersection I saw a van with locked up rears going diagonally towards the curb (on the side he was driveng). Then the van did a MAAAAAAD 180 and ended up facing the wrong way. Just where he ended up was a couple on the sidewalk and they were understandibly scared. The driver of the van looked like a ferral yobo and I could see he was angry for some reason.

I was walking next to a bloke and he's like "Gotta be drunk". As I kept walking the couple caught up to me. The bloke said that he had no idea what happened. The van just locked up the wheels and went nuts.

As much as I reckon the van driver is the biggest tool, endagering everyone else, it was a good 180, especially from the van.

i nearly got taken out by a pintara tonight,

going onto the bridge northbound, if you take second from the left lane, two lanes merge into one. the right lane has a stip to the right of it and there is a sign saying merge left...

a car that must have been further back decided they wanted to sit in my blind spot (i was in the lane that keeps going) and they didnt realise that they had to merge, so they were next to the rear of my car and had to lock them up to stop hitting the side of me or the strip.

idiots...

also tonight a motorcyclist decided to think about overtaking while turning right behind me (only one lane for turning) nearly took themselves out on my rear quarter panel.

i guess there were lots of too keep drivers around tonight.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.

      GTX2867R GEN 2 NO OUTPUT FOR BOOST SOLENOID

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.

      Nissan Skyline R34(ER34) Front Suspension Noise

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
