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

    • Yeah, thumbsup from me. The distant shot of the bay just looks same-same as before.
    • Dad had a court case drag out with them from 1998 to 2004. He was in a not at fault accident, NRMA were the ones who covered the other person. They tried to blame his neck injuries on the fact he'd had an injury in 1981 on his extreme lower back where he slipped a single disc right near the bottom. Had been all cleared from that injury for years. This accident destroyed his shoulder, and f**ked a heap of discs in his neck, and he still has major problems with it to this day. Sarah's sister while on her L plates had a small Suzuki Alto, she had stopped to give way to an ambulance, and someone changed lanes behind her because there lane was also slowing, and rear ended her at 80km/h. (She had been stopped for a few seconds already too!). Car was completely f**kED. NRMA sent the vehicle around to 3 different workshops as they kept claiming "We believe it can be repaired, and not written off, we just need to find the correct workshop". It took 3 months, and a lot of arguing before they'd concede and wrote it and paid out. About two years later her sister had a Lancer, someone pulled out of a stop sign without stopping (in an 80 zone). Her sister swerved, hit the front of the other persons car (Instead of dead t-boning the drivers door), which ramped her Lancer, and made it roll multiple times down the road. It hit every panel on the way through. Her sister had slid her self out of the car, and remembers the ambos walking to the accident (They'd been sitting at a set of lights just down the road and witnessed it) and they were saying "Well, this ones going to be a fatality, no way you can walk away from that". Well, she did. And then NRMA sent two assessors out to look at the car, both of which wrote it off. They tried to send another assessor out, except a HUGE uproar was raised, and they FINALLY paid it out. That was on a car, that had damage to EVERY panel, you could see from 100m away the whole car was also twisted, roof bowed etc. Nah, we'll try get out of needing to payout on a $10,000 car... Her sister ended up with major shoulder reconstructive surgery being required, and was permanently limited in her ability to do her job as a nurse after that, as she can't (And was told before surgery too this would be guaranteed to happen) regain full strength in that shoulder. However, there was no choice to not have it, as she could barely use her arm, which was her dominant one, and was in near constant major pain. (And she's the type of person that would try and walk off a broken leg!) NRMA did the biggest run around on the personal injury side too for about 18 months, even to the point of trying to put 100% blame of the accident on Sarah's sister, even though the other driver admitted she didn't look, and didn't stop, and was charged by the police. Sarah used to have a Barina insured with them. It was a policy setup, paid all 12 months in advance. At the end of the 12 months, Sarah was living with me, I reviewed the renewal, it clearly stated "If you do nothing, your policy will cease on XYZ date". We did nothing, as we moved her insurance in with all of mine and I was with Shannons. We find out 10 months later, NRMA decided, because he DAD had a car insurance policy at the same address as what Sarah's mailing address was (Garaged address had been changed), that they'd put Sarah's (What should have been non existent policy) onto her Dad's month to month charges on his credit card. We had to jump through hoops, to get a refund. They didn't care that we actually found the letter that said "If you do nothing, your policy will cease" they made us prove we had NON COMPULSORY insurance else where before they'd issue the refund, and after they agreed to the refund, it still took another 6 weeks and 3 more phone calls for them to actually process it. They also had two insurance claims from storm damage, and they were an absolute cluster to get resolved as well (one vehicle, one house). Some how, up until about 3 years ago, her parents were still loyal to NRMA too, and we were like "How the hell are you so loyal to staying with them, when other places are so much cheaper, and they've f**ked you over every time you've ever had to make a claim?"
    • I got the four AN10 fitting welded up to the cam covers and started up making the head to sump breather/drain lines. The front passenger side cover I used a 45 up top and a 90 at the bottom into the stock VCT head drain spot (3/4" BPST to AN10 adapter) thats unused on the RB25DET NEO with some speedflow flame shield to protect it from the manifolds heat.   back passenger side was a 90 up top with some flame shield and 45 at the sump end. The rear drivers is 45 at both ends   the front drivers fitting is capped off for now but ready to go if i want to try moving the breathers around. I was told by the fabricator to leave all the welds raw for now to make sure there are no pin hole leaks. A lot of cleaning up, re bundling looms and degreasing to go as well as final assembly on the cam cover baffles. The first real test will be 28th March at a Circuit event. added complexity and more spots for leaks but overall looks relatively neat imo
    • Yeah i think the dash needs to come out. To get the loom or maybe just climate control and radio cluster. My mirrors are done i think the motors don’t work so well after flood haha i need the ac fan, you said you wanted to keep it for your 31 and interior loom not including boot. The wiper motor. I’m not sure how good the window surrounds are on the exterior on the pintara.  I will message you to get your bank details shortly 
    • Just another barrier put up to stop cars being modified. When we're all driving Chinese sewing machines, you won't want to modify it anyway, and you'll likely already have slashed your wrists and be locked up in a padded room for your own protection.
