Hey all,

Just thought I'd write a post about what happened to me yesterday as I was driving to Grafton from The Gold Coast. On one of what seemed like an infinite amount of turns around hills I began a long assent to the top of a hill, as I began to descend the road took a sharp turn to the left. As I did so a teenager on a bike was crossing the road and was in my lane. I broke sharply and swerved, however, as there was water on the road my skyline broke traction, went across both lanes of traffic and hit a post. The teenager was nice enough however to flip me off and keep riding. It took 30 minutes to get my car pulled out by a suitable vehicle that was passing by at which time the teenager was long gone.

Not a good start to the week.

Pictures are included.

geez man you were so lucky not to be hit when you crossed over onto the other side of the road. this will be of no consolation but after reading your story and then seeing the pics I had visioned more damage.

Have you told your insurance company?

The quote I've gotten for a friend of mine is fairly low so its not worth talking to my insurance company about it. Your absolutely right, the damage could have been so much worse. I could have been going that 10ks over the speed limit, hit the kid, skidded into traffic and got hit by a truck. All things considered its fairly minimal.

Couldnt you just choke the little prick till his eyeballs popped out. As likely as not you saved his life with your action and in thanks you get the bird.

I had a similar experience when one of the young punks swerved straight in front of me half way across the bridge. Major brake lockup and the nose pointing the opposite direction. Same reaction. flipped me the bird. Found the dickhead with his mate about 2 hours later loitering outside the local milk bar. Grabbed him by the throat and his mate pulls a blade. I backed off like I was bowin down, got in the truck and pulled the doctor. (metre long iron jack handle.) The little chicken shits ran like scalded cats when i flew out the truck door swingin the doc. I pissed myself laughin. :P

Next time give natural selection a helping hand! Just run the kid over, they are seriously a lot softer than polls, and the parents will probably be grateful that you got rid of thier little s-hit of a child and of the money they will save on juvinal lawyers bills.

ps, I still have tears in my eyes from watching this weeks (as in 2007 series) topgear, so the spelling isnt too crash hot. Deadset this weeks topgear is the funniest ever, they make thier own shuttle and rocket!

I will never ever piss you off Fine line....

EVER

just dont take that doctor out again! :P

Most unlikely as the doctor resides in the 4B. The best I can find in the fineline is the owners manuel. Wonder what damage I could do with that. Severe paper cut perhaps? :)

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By V35_Paul · Posted

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
