Same :) And I got woken up at 7:30 to take my sister to work... wtf :|

the 34 is at the insurance assessors atm. I get told how bad it is on monday.

Have seen many Skylines in the Springfield and Lakes area. Was one involved in the accident on Friday night??

Also, spotted a wine red R32 GTR on Granard Rd and I followed it all the way to Ipswich Road.

what the hell was so important on saturday morning? i saw rice EVERYWHERE, too many plates to remember

I was moving house in a shitbox smoky truck with a cage, and driving down the freeway there's a silver 32 gtr with a baby seat in the front (lol) following me for a while. Then on a return trip down on the southside (springwood/slacks creek etc) spotted a black 33 gtr as well (i think that was the black 33 with the girl driving, meh), and oh my god i just lost count. Skylines, silvias, *fully* riced up supras (i likey), and i was driving a piece of crap truck :P

Spotted AIN40 (i think that was the plate)

Gunmeatal grey R32 on Logan road on Thursday 6ish i was in 51PRY...

and then i spotted you again on Friday night on Logan Road..

only this time i was in RDY60.. :mellow:

Spotted IIR33 near Chermside/Aspley at about 11am today...

I waved and recieved a wave back... Great to see a nice clean White R33 out and about...

Yeah Col thought it was you, ur car really stands out sounds good to.

ouch, Next time ur coming from that round about, look down at the ground, u will see my burnout starting in the middle of the road, leading into our section :P:D

I'll have to remember to look when I get home. Just don't do it on weeknights, some of us have to work in the morning and that roundabout is bad enough as it is :wave:

Got the call from the insurance company today too. $10,338 worth of damage. And it will take at least a couple of weeks to get the parts in from Japan (seriously, whatever happened to overnight parts from Japan???) .

Spotted white 34 JDM**, I think her name is Samantha on Middle Rd aound midday. Waved but not sure if i got one back. I was driving round like a space cadet after Good Vibrations last night.......

Spotted in bowen hills, two doors down from work, one mean looking four door 34. green paint, stickers and some massive dish wheels. took a couple of quick photos, but don't have my data cable to post them up.

    • Dissimilar metal corrosion. Aluminium is less noble than steel/iron, and will corrode preferentially when in contact with it and a conductive solution (ie, wet road salt). Tends to suggest that those brackets should be made in steel for a shitty climate like the UK.
    • Here is picture of the rear brackets again seeming to have eating itself or corrode or whatever. Can’t describe it , hope someone could explain this    
    • No i am in the uk so maybe road salt etc but checked rear and same story where handbrake cable seems to have eaten part of the bracket. Have emailed alpha omega waiting for reply
    • I've not looked at a GTR without the booster there. Is the hole and mount on the firewall not just the same as GTSt? I would have expected it to be. Nissan don't change panel stampings if they don't have to, and you'd think they'd just order/design the booster to mount to the same place.
    • They have all sorts of "failure" modes. When they are brand new, the can either be very very tight, or reasonably mobile. If they are reasonably mobile, you'll probably have a good start. If they are very tight, then they can catch/grab at every little motion, and they mark the ball or the outer race, tearing off whatever teflon lining is in the outer race, then they can rapidly degenerate from there. If they get wet, they can just rust. They are just steel and will turn red pretty quickly. Water can get in behind them and sit and cause them to become crunchy and then proceed to tear themselves up, as above. Same with grit and dirt. Manufacturers and OEMs of the arms that use them will tell you that because they are teflon lined (well, the good ones, anyway), you shouldn't grease them. If you do grease them, then the grease will catch any passing grit and dirt and hold it in place where it can cause damage. Race teams that have them will lubricate them thoroughly. They will also inspect them every 5 minutes and replace them every 10 minutes, if need be. Some manufacturers of arms will provide dust boots. These can help, but they are seldom perfect, and sometime just make the situation worse, being a place where crap can collect. I have made nappies for some of mine with PVC sheet and race tape, to try to minimise the access of crap. When they wear, you can get a tiny tiny amount of movement between the ball and the outer race. This will make clicking noises. It will also make the arm have "slop" in that the tiny amount of movement available at the inner end of an arm can cause a lot of movement out at the outer end. 0.05mm at 5mm from the pivot becomes 4mm 400mm away from the pivot. If they are too tight and binding, they impede the proper motion of the suspension arm and put loads into it and the rest of the suspension that are not supposed to be there, and can cause failure. Think broken welds, broken threaded sections on the adjustable parts, mounts ripped off the chassis, etc. All of these are possible, which is the main reason why they are essentially illegal on the road in Australia.
