No Driving For A While! Not No More!


Recommended Posts

Guest Joeyz

Hi all.

I know it has been a while :P Got a call today to say that my car will be ready this Saturday. I am so hanging to drive again. It will be like a new car :mellow::mellow:

Hope to see you around some time soon!

Joe

Sorry to say i wont be on the road for a while ;)

Hear is the story i'd like to share.

Was driving to work through blacktown heading toward prospect and turned onto the Great Western HWY down the ramp and was raining hard, toward te end of the off ramp i was nearing and a car already on the HWY was doing about 50kph, older lady to be expected, no worries. So i moved across and over took her, easy for me to see out the front window thank god to rain-x, so i was gaining in speed toward 80kph in 4th gear when the back of the car stepped out, due to aqua plaining and the rear end come around to the right, now heading toward the left hand side of the road and a gard rail was nearing. The back end of my car contacted the rail mainly damaged the drivers rear end. So no rear lights at all, dad came down to drive behind me for safety reasons and got it home. The car is insured, just got to get a few quotes and then hopefully get it fixed like new again.

Here are some pic's

No SNS for me :D I will still come and see all at the SNS.

Oh, has anyone heard of any really good smash repairs in Blacktown or smithfield area. Past experience?

Reguards Joe.

Hey dude bad luck there, a mate in my street had a decent hit in his R33 not long ago, he is a member here and he had it repaired through insurance at HUME SMASH REPAIRS at lansvale. I couldnt believe the job they did considering the damage,look them up worth a try... Good luck

Louie is a 2 East St Granville, he has done a couple of jobs for us too, good quality workand no bullshit.

Sorry to hear about the crash....these cars can be a bit tricky in the wet can't they. Was your rear tyre tread depth good?

OMG Joey :laugh::D

Thats such bad news....so glad you are ok tho

It is hard to drive these cars in the wet at times, I know I have been taking it very easy for that same reason..

Hope you get her fixed up soon :P

*hugs*

Nope. Probably a few mill over legal so i guess that didi not help!

    • Hey, yeah I really like the color. Only paint I'd rather have is KN6, but those are expensive. Right now I'm trying to get the car to the point where I can get it tuned to 370hp so the whole setup can be driven legally, and pass the next inspection that is already due anyway. Beyond that lots of rust fixing I'm afraid, winter project is most likely going to be a front end teardown and fixing the strut tower rust. I know these can be driven daily but I don't think I will do so anytime soon. Will post a build thread soon with a list of issues and futute plans.   Cheers
    • Wanted to reply to this topic. I'm in the somewhat same boat with our Stagea. I'm trying to install a different rear diff. The Stagea/Skyline uses mounts on top of the rear diff for the ATTESA pump. Any way you can relocate the pump? I did find this kit https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
    • So here's the deal, my wife picked up an S2 AWD Stagea. Super cool, clean car. Looks like the owner in Japan went track spec as it's got some heavy modifications including Exedy twin disk, tension rods, coilovers, GTR brakes, oil cooler & a Nismo 2 way rear diff. Now, cool mods for sure. But, she is just using this as a casual daily driver. The 2 way rear is AGGRESSIVE. It also has solid subframe bushings & poly diff bushings. So that doesn't help either. So far I've tried changing the diff fluid to the correct fluid. Even tried a little friction modifier. No help. This thing clunks, skips the tires & has some slight whine/NVH when driving. Might sound like I'm being picky, but just trying to find a better solution. Here in the states, it's impossible to find a Stagea rear diff. No luck. I do have a 300zx non-turbo diff. Same ratio, 5 bolt axles. On the Stagea, you need both front & rear diff ratios to match. This car is a 4.083. I'd like to just swap a normal rear diff into this thing. Nothing fancy. Even open diff is fine. She's not tracking the car LOL The difference is that the ATTESA pump mounts to the top of the rear diff. There are 3 total mounting points for the pump on top of the diff. With all this being said, what would be the best way to go about this? I could remove the Stagea diff & see if I could get somebody to possibly weld the 3 tabs/mounting points onto the 300zx diff so we could mount the pump on the 300zx diff. I could swap the internals from the 300zx into the Stagea diff but this is not in my comfort zone. Is it possible to mount the ATTESA pump to the underside of the car? Sorry for the paragraph. Just trying to figure out how to go about this. Any help is much appreciated! Stagea Differential - Note two top tabs, one bolt hole for ATTESA pump mounting   300zx Diff - No mounting tabs Also found this mounting kit ?? https://theskylineshed.com/products/nissan-oem-attesa-mounting-kit-to-suit-r32-r33-r34
