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.

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
