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.

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
