hey guys i heard tonight that on saturday night a guy from wollongong crashed his r33 skyline (practicially tearing it in half) and badly injuring himself in the process. I am unsure of the passenger's condition

One thing here is for certain, and that is speed. It appears from what i was told that he must have been going extremely fast to basically tear the car apart (i was told "the front of the car was now in the back of the car").

More sad news for us skyline, and high performance car, drivers will no doubt result again. The driver was in his early 20's.

I have heard small things from people about it, but am curious if anyone else knows more as i did not know the driver, but do know it was a sky blue coloured r33 gts25t...

Thats not good news at all...Where did this happen in the Gong?? (Used to live there 6 months ago) I knew of a Sky Blue 33 GTR down there but that was some time ago. IMHO and you may hate me saying this,but P platers (assume by his age) should not have high performance cars at their disposal. Slow down people!!! Let's hope the injuries are not as bad as you have been told....

Apparently it happened somewhere around the exit/entry ramp to the F6 freeway around Burger King near Figtree/West Wollongong...or so i was told by the people who informed me about the accident. I have not heard any more about it however excpet that i the driver has possibly broken their back.

TopKart R33, his age is about 23-24, so i guess he wasnt a p-plater.

Not the sort of places you need to be speeding at....the off ramp to the BK is very narrow so any impact there would have been major. Ok so he may have not been a P-plater but still a stupid thing to be doing in areas like that. I once saw a person trying to head into that off ramp the wrong way, now imagine if you were speeding onto that exit??? I see alot of crazy drivers on the roads as i spend 8hrs a day at least on them. The faster you go the less time you have to react to the unexpected. JMHO :thumbsup:

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      No need to replace the cover if it is still intact (not worn through). It would be worth checking the balancer for matching marks on the rear, but I'd assume the balancer was loose at some stage. The cam timing marks look fine, once you put the new belt on you can only be right or a full tooth out

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
