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

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
