nup it was his first nite out, fu#n idiot, ah well wot u gonna do. think he was gettin insurance monday. :D

Ouch!

As you probably know, getting insurance is as simple as a 20 minute phone call, i bet he's regreting putting that call off til Monday!

Bugger.. especially when its so easy to ring an insurance company and get a cover note that covers the car instantly.

If it is a written off he will no doubt be selling parts off it. I'm after a few interior bits, drop me a pm and I'll forward my number or vice versa.

Wow that sucks but sorry to say, stupidity paid a big part here, he just has to learn a lesson from it; albeit an expensive one!

Hope he's alright however, I know what it feels like to lose a car, happened to my first R33 when someone cleaned me up on the way to work :D

did he crash it like... 3 hours after he bought it. a younger mate of mine mentioned to me a mate of his bought his r32 yesterday or something and smashed it wihtin 3 hours i believe its the same guy haha. f**ken adel, small world.

Yes it was. Friend is a member of R31 club... and he mentioned it on there.....

Wonder if he's liable for the phone box? Police involved at all?

nar think he drove the car off so cops didnt get there fast enough, but yeh went around and had a look at the dmg its not written off but hes bought the parts to fix it and in total costs about $2500-3000 so he must be peaking, ah well, yeh he had the car for about 5 hours i think. :domokun:

Yeah haha thats the guy, my mate mat was around his place with him before today i think or yesterday... had parts for it around the place and he was trying to get it all fixed and was asking me a few questions thru mat about headlights and purge tanks...

Man whenever I buy a car I take it really easy until you know the limits. I don't think I took it for a proper thrash in the hills for about a month after I bought it.

Guess he will learn big time from that mistake.

The thing is these cars have a higher limit than almost all the drivers on here have ability.

Not good At all. This is the reason why I wont drive my car till its insured.

even though this is slighty off topic. anyone know of some nice big roads without many cops, for newbies to take out something with some power, to not end up like this driver?

    • My plan is to go the pink option. But still add the 4th fitting near the oil cap and just cap it off for now.  That way I can add 2 extra to the sump and have 4 dedicated breathers/drains if I ever remove the sump for any reason. 
    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
