Haha that's crazy. Did you hear about the 32 GTR test drive in Qld or NSW? It was someone off here I think... they let this dude take it for a spin, it was massively modded but the test driver booted it down some freeway in 3rd, clipped the curb and rolled it.

How would that go down in insurance!! Hmmm...

As a side note, I do take it very easy when driving anyone elses car, but hearing that from someone selling a car was pretty funny

So.....did ya fang it round the corner then? :P :P

Talking about thrashing, anyone got any Moana beach stories to share? All you southerners will know what I'm talking about!

The beach where people can legally drive on 24/7!! Hooray to the 3am Cressida thrashings on the beach! Bogged it twice

Last year a drunk 16 year old girl on her L's rolled her car on the beach! They left it there and the tide took it.

After I made sure he wasn't joking, yeah clutched 2nd. He was right too, it was uncannily smooth for a sil with just coilovers, an exhaust and a locked diff :banana:

Put a deposit down on it that day, but my mate f**ked me over with my Chaser so i never got the sil :banana:

I grew up down Moana before the esplanade was narrowed.

Had umm geat fun. Silver sands was a better wider more side ways beach. :D

Not sure how old you are but back in 1996-97ish people used to lay oil down the dip and drop burnout after burnout.

Funniest I had seen was when the police came through understeered in to the round about. :banana:

Blew my first diff down there too. First in to second and then weaved it out of the car park, up around the round about did a u-turn and came back. As I approached the dip I heard this click and good bye diff.

Limped the car home said to the old man.. The diff made a click I think its the brakes lol. Straight away he said.. Your changing that diff your self and that was the beginning of getting my hands dirty and modifying cars.

Another was some old cressida blue thing dropped a burnout at the diff; axle tramping and bang the tail shaft drops on the ground lmao.

and another.. gemini dropping a burnout understeering kept holding it down in to a sign post.

Lol that's hilarious. Yeah I'm only 20, but have grown up near the beach. My mates have burst a few tyres on the beach, and I bogged a 323 there once, oh and a few of my mates got pulled over by the cops when leaving the beach as now the residents around the beach have joined some anti-beach-hooning group!

And there's alot more police patrols cruising the area now, too.

I remember hearing about that ay! That would suck :D i don't reckon i'd ever take my car down on the beach...even if it is a lil shitbox haha.

So many of my mates who don't have a clue about cars are like "take the GTR on the beach! Awesome!"

And I'm like "Sand and salt in my front mount! Awesome!"

Hahaha i have actually seen a dumped as 180sx down at Moana before. I pointed and laughed at him :D

Yeah I reckon I remember that spot. Like a small groove in the road with countless skids coming out of either side :D

On the esplanade directly in front of the now little multi coloured units and deli.

Always been HEAPS of police down there even back in 96. The locals would always call the police. Constant patrols checking every ones number plates and random inspections/defects.

Back then there was a lot more cars out. Night after the drags were on were a good show as it was down anzacs and the car park at the end of anzacs.

Good ol LJ's slightly crabbing down the road tubbed with huge tyres etc. lol

    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
    • Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.
    • So I'm confident in saying its TCS thing. My new cluster I never realized didn't even have bulbs in the TCS or Slip slots. Shining a light through the backside that black plate has nothing for it, unlike my original cluster. Looking at the service manual the only thing that stands out is TCS in relation to the vehicle speed, it has nothing to do with turbos. It sadly looks like I may just need to get the appropriate cluster.
