Just had someone buy some Skyline parts from me from my home address. To make the story short, He decided to drop a very decent burnout in my residential street (50KM zone). He hit high speed & came very close to my Girlfriend while she was on the way here. About 15-20 minutes later I had a very irate Neighbour (maybe a cop) come over & demanded "who's car is that" while writing down my rego.

I asked him what his problem was & he said 8 other people saw "my" car (both are white) doing this burnout & driving like a madman. He would not listen to anything I said, so then I kept his door open for a while, to talk, but he didn't like the idea of listening. Just wanted to blame someone, don't really blame him, but he does owe me an Apology & if I see him I give him a nice big smile & ask him how the investigation is going.

:(

I just told him to get himself down to the local police station with my rego number.

I rang the police 30 minutes later, as I had other custermers here & told them about the situation. I actually spoke to the same Officer who received the complaint originally, & guess what - He was very co-operative & told me that they had the right rego number & I had nothing to worry about.

(Now I have to be weary of my Screamer pipe) :P

So If the person who bought those parts off me reads this post, don't disrespect someone who is selling you parts, & you got those parts cheap remember. watch yourself or you could be looking at #@%$*^??? & remember the police don't forget once they have enough complaints.

Maybe he decided to do the burnout because he saw my dynosheet & wanted to prove something? I was 18 once too, but what he did was dangerous & this shit keeps giving Skyline drivers problems.

Not Happy, Enough Said.

everyone loves hellies, when someone comes over my house for the first time, if he dont rip a hellie/ burnout/smoke shop, he'll never be invited to my place every again.

rules to live by

I don't think it's a good idea to name names. Will turn this thread into a flame war.

I think the young fella who caused grief to R33RWKW should send an apology to him. No need to cause him grief, let alone anyone. R33RWKW was also gracious enough not to publicly name him because there would be instant flamage on this post.

Yes, I don't want to name him & get him flamed, seriously thought about it though, but some (not meaning all) P-Platers with HKS gear can't help themselves. He might learn one day himself, but hopefully without injuries or death, maybe just a broken ride.

But if the Police came around to my house & did a thorough inspection of my car, - He would have been named. I was pretty lucky, casue I just found out a police officer lives directly opposite me (not local though), & I don't think he was home at the time.

However, I will make future buyers aware of the problems caused last time by that C**T, so it hopefully won't happen again.

Cheers.

was it a good burnout? My mates have done it numerous times, i guess its all fun and games as long as its not taken too far.. My 2 cents..

Yeah, because if it was good it makes it perfectly okay to do it, and legal too. Especially in a residential street with other road users.

Yeah, It was VERY decent (8 different neighbours complained) - But there are better places to do it (not around kids - 50km zones etc..) & there wasn't enough road space really, so he would have burned his brakes a fair bit.

i know how u feel mate!!!! i get burnouts out the front of my street from all the hoons, that drive past, trying to leave an impression when they see my car out the front, and all i get is continuous complaints and visits from the police telling me that my car has been reported and any future complaints will be taken seriously, bla bla bla....

im sick of it, cause i myself have let the occassional smoke poor out the back of my line, and when the neighbors happen come out seeing me do it, just makes them think "here we go again, he says it not him"!!!!

heheh if i was your neighbour and i saw you doing a burnout id also think "here we go again, he says its not him!!" :mellow:

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo   
    • Very hard to make out what you mean, is it the squarish hole with redline shockproof (probably) under it? Is that pic from on top of the engine with the firewall to the left of pic and engine to the right? Either way, spray the area liberally with degreaser and try again, maybe circle the part you are worried about
