my drive way sux

its steepish, onto a busy road on a corner, behind a power pole

i often sit there for 5 minutes waiting for a break in traffic

my front bar has no paint on its bottom either

as u guys have said before who knows what the logic is about reversing into the driveway but i do that all the time and my car doesnt scrap then, if i was to go straight in it scraps, as i cant go in at an angle cause the driveway is just perfect fit for my car dam small driveway

The first time the same day I bought my car i tried to get it up my driveway I cracked the front bar and got the car stuck on my driveway and my dad had to come lift the front of the car while i reversed.

The car was so low that I had to install new springs to enable me to get up the driveway at all.

My previous car which was a 250cu TE Cortina which has compressed and cut springs would smach the extractors everytime on the way in and out the driveway and made that part of the extractor flat underneath. I didnt really car on that car as it a shitter anyway

  • 2 months later...

mine used to be fine, 'till the next door neighbour had a bitch to the council about a bit of a puddle that built up in front of his driveway when it rained (and it wasnt even a lot of water, and wasnt on his grass or anything)

so they came in, tore up the end of the court( my house is at the very bottom of the court) and re layed it to fix his little water issue

in the process of fixing his tiny issue, they managed to destroy ours, and the other next doors driveways, so now they are like \/ that as well....cant wait till i get the skyline...my TX5 is on superlows, and gets in if i go extremely slow, but it has no body kit so yeah

it has cracked the front bar of my cousins VX clubsport, and almost did the same to his brothers VX Club.

not nice

Here's my driveway drama...this is how I get in my single car garage...coming out you have to reverse the other way and it just scrapes slightly...dying to lower the car but pretty much impossible at the moment unless maybe I remove my front lip??? or airbag suspension!! :( Live in a complex so body corp is very anal about foreign objects left outside in the driveway eg: ramps, planks etc... :P

I just moved to a new place.

and i love my driveway!

every car we own gets in and out without any dramas!

first house I have lived in where I can get my cars in and out with out having to go really really slow and sideways, or in reveres!

im loving it :huh:

sorry for the brag. but yeah I love it

hey guys

i know this may be abit off topic but i got an r33 with stock wheels and suspension and was thinking of getting a nismo 400r front bar but im afraid its gonna be too low for everyday driving plus my driveway sux

i was wondering if anyone knew how much clearance i would have from the front bar and the ground

thanks

I scrape near my cat every time i go in and out.

I had to adjust my rear suspension higher just so i could get it down.

I have no idea how I can get it fixed.

I doubt the council will do anything as the path has no problems.

I doubt my land son of rajab will rip up their driveway just so my lowered car doesntg scrape.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
