When i first saw her car, i came around a corner so was only doing about 30km/h. She was about 50m in front. When i went to overtake her i sped up but not that much, less than 50km/h. There were some people there but they said "I was flying."

This is bullshit. I truly believe because of the sound of my exhaust and type of car they just assumed i was speeding. That i was just some P plater punk in a skyline. I told the police i was doing less than 50km/h (it's a 50 zone), because that was what i was doing.

50km/h will look reasonably fast especially when accompanied by a loud exhaust note. I get odd looks from all of my neighbours because by exhaust rumbles, even when going well under the speed limit.

Did you suffer any injuries from the accident?

I had a five car pile up and it took 6 months to get money out of one of the insurance companies!

I noticed you said she mentioned "you came out of no where" !?!

She musn't have been checking her mirrors and/or paying attention to traffic............ isn't that careless driving anyone?

Just push that point to her insurance company and don't let it go!

as a lesson that i learnt from my sisters bf's accident. u must always give way to ur right no matter wat situation. this was worked out between the insurers n favoured in his side. (cops favoured the accident to b my sisters bf's fault but because there was no red light camera and no witnesses apart from passengers the insurers changed the desicion)

in ur case she didnt give way to her right, even if u were behind her slightly

huh so ur saying if he was on the left and she was on the right, he would be wrong?

dun think it matters which side, she was the one changing lanes without checking as she mentioned (he came out of nowhere).

i dun see in this situation how craig V8 taffe can be in the wrong if everything he told us was the truth

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way.

      Nismo coppermix twinplate clutch

      From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
