I've already explained what happened sooooo many times today, but here goes again:

A bunch of us were cruising along Warringah Rd in Forestville when some absolute champion that none of us knew in a heavily modified S13 joined the group.

I was in the right hand lane merging into the centre lane as he flew from the left hand lane, wastegate open & screaming into the centre lane, he realised he was about to rear-end me, he swerved left, hit the gutter & came straight back into my car (which I had already moved back into the right hand lane) pushing me up onto the median strip where i came to a halt.

The Silvia driver suggested we exchange details & not involve the police in the matter.....I was like 'WTF?'

We called the cops as he called a towie & loaded his car up in an unsuccessful attempt to leave before the police arrived.

I guess there's more to tell, but I'm pretty damn sick of thinking about it right now as this whole week has been absolute shit and then my car gets totaled to top it off......

Anyone else who was at the scene can add any other details i may have omitted in my now semi-conscious state (I didn't get much sleep last night).

WTF ??? Dave , sorry to hear man - I travel that way all the time - that blows big time. Do you know if the S13 was a local ?? If you don't mind, PM me the plates of the S13.

Hope it works out OK 4 u !

Cheers,

I couldnt not believe the driving of the "champion" in the silvia, being in the unfortunate position of watching the entire thing from the back was extremely bloody scary. We should all be thankful that Dave is ok and more to the point that nobody was hurt and no other cars damaged in the incident.

There is no excuse for the driving of that idiot.

AKTUNG indeed

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
