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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
