so i wake up this morning to a message saying my poor 32 got smashed, this being from fellow SAU member shaz! so i think some vandals, or a small ding, shaz goes on to explain, she was in haundorf and some drunk idiot was on the wrong side of the road, going around a corner, the car in front stopped, as did shaz, the guy behind then plowed shaz up the ass at 70km/hr!definately not enjoyable for anyone!

now shazelik is still in hopsital waiting to see a specialist for her neck, she also needs a new rear bar for a 32! lol

anyway just putting it out there, have her in your thoughts and prayers, never good for this to happen to your pride and joy, but worst of all she is hurt, so jsut think of her! and show her some SAU love!

cheers boys n girls

yea funny story tho, she let someone from work take her car up the shop, just down the road, and he comes back with a gutter rashed f**ked up rim, so shaz is having no luck! but now everyone knows her life story! lol sorry shaz! but jokes aside, is a nice car, and she is a good friend, so thoughts and prayers everyone!

That's certainly bad luck, but if she was stationary I highly doubt the guy was doing 70km/hr at impact.

That's write off speed for both cars pure and simple.

60km/hr vs stationary car is enough speed to make a VL two feet shorter.

As always, and others have said, glad she's ok - no-one likes to hear of fellow enthusiasts being injured.

thanks guys got outta hospital last nite

had to have so many scans and xrays, they thought i had fractured my neck. but they think its ok. just have to go back for more scans over the next few weeks.

i'm really not sure how fast the guy hit me, he said he was doing 85 before he even braked n he was sitting pretty close. He told the cops about 70, but i really have no idea.

the rear bar is totally f**ked, the boot is all pushed up n won't shut n the drivers door won't close properly. haven't really looked at it closely, yet but i think the reason it doesn't look so bad is becoz he must have tried to swerve to miss me and hit the tow hook on the right hand side of the car. His car is totally stuffed tho.

if anyone knows of a cheap rear bar going around let me know.

Thanks!

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
