Well today my car got side swiped while i was at uni by what looks like optimus prime.

Bastard didn't leave any details, which shits me as i'm up for replacing 2 doors and a rear quarter panel. Luckily, however it was on a common-whore not on a skyline but give it a week or two and it could have been :D .

Second bit of bad news car was going to get sold this sunday.

Just thought i'd rant on here for some sympathy from strangers and optimus if your reading this F U.

would anyone here actually leave there details if they hit another car, assuming that know body else saw you, i'm sure most of us would just drive off.

Unless you hit some bomb of a car.. Or someone you didn't like.. maybe drive off

Otherwise leave a note, right thing to do.

Shouldn't have to worry about it anyway as it doesn't happen often.

I can see why he didn't. And lets face it we all would think about driving off.

It's alright hopefully this whole Karma thing will work out and one day he and his whole family will be driving down the road chanting "o'doyle rules" and there will be a banana peel and those of you who know billy madison will know how it ends.

I course I'd leave a note. People need to be responsible for their actions.

      Starting again

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      So my R32 GTST has been sitting around at my old mum and dad's place for a few years now...and it's time to bring it home. Main issue I have is that she hasn't been started in about 5 years or so, so I'm not too keen on just kicking it over and hoping that RB20 reputation for being un-killlable extends to long periods of neglect. My plan is to get it running there so I can move it around,  then get it towed back to my place where I can start working on it properly. The old folks driveway is a bad place to start a project like that. I'm getting old too and also haven't stuffed around with cars since forever, so kinda learning this stuff again. So far I've siphoned out all the shitty old fuel and topped up the coolant (thought it was fully dry but took 2 litres to fill the radiator). Planning on hitting the rusty rotors with some brake cleaner in case the tow truck driver gets a bit gung ho loading it up. As far as oil, it's got plenty although it's now dark in colour and obviously needs a change sooner rather than later. Was doing some YouTube research and was planning to hand-crank the motor from the harmonic balancer with a 37mm socket and breaker bar, removing the spark plugs and spraying some "fogging oil" in the holes but there's not much room to get in there with the radiator fan right up against it. Jacking the car up takes too long and I can't leave it half done between visits. So now I'm was thinking of cranking a few times it using the starter (removing plugs and spraying oil first). Reckon there's any chance it will do more damage that way if something's stuck inside the motor? Should I really change all fluids completely before I go any further? Grateful for any other advice you guys have to get her going safely too.

      Well, that's just wierd. Amongst a string of seemingly benign introduction and request for help threads, we have this one with a link.... to another, unrelated thread inside this forum. Colour me suspicious.

      Import insurance in 2025

      By Duncan · Posted

      So it looks like Lumleys are closing other than in Victoria, with the kind offer that another brand from the evil IAG multi-glomerate (NRMA) might offer insurance under their price and conditions if they want to, as an alternative. Lunmleys was good for us because they covered JDM and USDM imports, had 2 car "stable" insurance (ie, insure many cars but max of 2 can be driven at once), covered mods, reasonable overall prices. So, with them gone, who else should I consider? Shannons is last on my list, we used to be insured with them until we found they were helpful at taking premiums but much less helpful at claim time.
