On the weekend, as the innocent driver of a toyota corolla was doing a three point turn, it was viciously driven into by some dude in a skyline. every night this guy belts it down our street, blow off valves and all, and this time he stuffed up - does he deserve sympathy, or a laugh in the face?
hmmm does the skyline community no favours driving like that does they. >_<

what ya reckon?

Without know the full story and background from both drivers it is pretty stupid to make any observation or judgment calls on either of the drivers action.

I hope all involved walked away and that both had insurance.

thats true rumours are he was hooning and giving it a thrashing

he's also known to be the street's hoon

but at this stage its fiction not facts until proven otherwise..

i cut n pasted my comments except this "hmmm does the skyline community no favours driving like that does they.

what ya reckon?"

sheez.. looks worse then mine did when i ran up a rolla's butt... mine was written off had chassis damage.. either way hopefully drivers / passengers are alrite!.. cars are replaceable..

To be honest, if he's hooning up and down the street all the time, thats bad, but if a car has done a 3 point turn in front of him, doesnt matter if he is Bin Larden, its not his fault. Speeding yes a factor. But I know some drivers that are so stupid, they know a car is speeding yet they are of this additude, they shouldnt be speeding, if they were I have time to pull out, so I'll pull out anyway.

Many variables.

if he was speeding then he was at fault. you should be able to stop if you see a guy doing a 3 point turn in a 50 zone............even though you shouldnt really have to stop because of right of way.

i wouldnt be surprised if he was speeding, i see skylines speed in 50 zones all the time

well the guy doing the 3 point turn should be judging the guys speed correctly, whether he was doing 10km or 100km/hr .. 3 point turns are too dangerous if you ask me at the best of times in any street.

anyhow, blah, blah.

the_paladin: well here in QLD I've never actually seen a car obey a 50km/hr zone no matter what car they're in so don't go on about damn skylines. Rednecks in their dunny dores are 5 times worse and the average for them seems to be about 20km/hr over. About the only one who ever does seems to be ME in my skyline. shrug.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
