Sorry to hear the unfortunate news LIZZEH :D , best wishes for recovery physically & emotionally :P . Cars do come & go, it was a little beast TEAM 13 will live on ;) . For every cloud there is a silver lining your next toy will surely be an upgrade ( not implying silvia was no good ), hope you heal up quick & get back on your path to racing ASAP. Good luck with future plans, take care, god bless. :D

actually, if you do want a skyline i may be persuaded to sell my 32 GTST for a cheap price. :P it would be tops either with the RB20, or with your SR in there. let me know if you're interested when you know what you want to do.

whoa suxz0rz lizzeh

f**ken oath it sucks

and craig, nah it wasn't insured but the driver that hit me was insured, and has been charged with neg driving.

I've got an independant assessor coming to look at the car tomorrow, he'll take into account all work done on the car and the base shells replacement value, my mechanic will also put together a statement of all work completed on the car.... we'll then wave it infront of GIO and ask for a pay out

I've also been advised that the assessor will also take into account how long this car took to get built, so that'll play in the final asking price.... and i wanna buy the wreck back coz there is a fair amount of goodies on it that i wouldn't mind transferring to the next project (s14 engine and s15 brakes)l.

I'm just so pissed off about the whole thing, the tears have only just started to subside, I'm absolutely devestated. It'd be a completely different story if this was my R33, but I, along with my mechanic had put alot of time and effort into putting this car together only to have it smashed up by some careless idiot who was too busy playing with his mobile phone than watching the road.

But anyway, no use complaining about what's already done... just time to pick up the pieces and start planning for the next project. Ps. it won't be another skyline unless it's a gts-r

    • So, it's clearly an electrical problem. Either with the gauge itself, or the sender. It appears to be voltage sensitive (ie, alternator output affects the reading.
    • Yes, at this stage of SAU threads, I  automatically assume that anyone here knows that everything depends on each and every setup and its choice of parts and what an individual wants from the setup. I think your misunderstanding what I've said, I'm not saying your curve will move to the right.. I'm stating the opposite; that my setup has a much larger turbo than my last one, my current exhaust manifold runners are 2-3x longer than the last one, the intercooler is longer and thicker (hks 103mm thick), the itbs are now oversized from 45mm up to 49mm, and the plenum is now a larger Nismo plenum that's been port matched. As a result, I'm making more power, torque and boost 1000rpm earlier than my last setup. My curve moved left, in a big way. You guys with 800-1000+hp turbos should be considering hks v-cam or the other Japanese company Sakura who makes RB25 Neo vct adaptor kits for RB26's. they all make more power / boost / torque far earlier and higher peak numbers. Dahtone Racing modifies the Hks v-cam systems to his own specs and he also developed the worlds first and best dbw individual throttle body kits, to complement his V-cam. Every single car is 800-1200+hp and they all produce huge gains in response and peak power. 
    • I have a 2008 Skyline 370gt with about 160,000 km on the clock currently. A while ago, I noticed the temp gauge would start climbing but it comes down when I give it some throttle. I took it into the shops. The technicians comments are transcripted below. Reported they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle mechanically and they pressure tested the cooling system. Funnily enough, the technician commented that the temperature dropped back down when the car is stationary but this is when I'd notice the temp gauge to be climbing. Just wondering if anyone else experienced anything similar to enlighten me? Cos at the onset, the temps were going up one tick and then comes back down when I step on it. Now, the temps are climbing all the way to the top of the gauge, and it's making me very nervous lol. It also doesn't come down to the neutral position anymore. PS I do have a small exhaust leak near the drivers side caused by when I got f**ked by a really steep driveway at a mall I never visited before. Not sure if this would affect the sensor. Technician comments: Check and verify Fan/Cooling system - ALL OK max 106*C and fans operating at 100% Cools down right away. Checked Fan Operation - 55%@101*C, 85% @ 104*C and 100% @ 105*C Vehicle did not exceed these temperatures with max load. Temperature recovered back to 99*C after fan operation while vehicle Stationary.
    • It really depends on your setup. Mine is 'accidently' more suited to revving higher. bigger cams, turbo etc. Plus my super long first takes donkey years to come onto boost, so if it will move my power band to the right, maybe i'll pass on this. i have a G45-1500 going on there soon which I suspect might make it more of a fat pig.
    • Yeah good call, I will endeavour to tuck that down when I rewrap the looms it’s pushed up by
