Another Skyline Casuality: Damn Lancers


Recommended Posts

Too many stupid drivers out there thinks that ALL cars are auto..... as soon as you release brake your car will move, so they move too...

I've had this kind of drivers on my tail all the time and it sometimes really gets me to the nerves in traffic jams.

Those ppl need some proper driver education, and some reality lesson that not all cars are auto! Maybe Vicroads should eliminate auto-only P license, and all people who want to get a driving license require a full test in a manual vehicle...

cbf reading all the replies to this post, sorry to ghear about it bro, its annoying when fags hit you then it takes ages to get the money outta them (referring to the DICKHEAD who hit me on the heatrhcote day!) but yer hope its resolved soon for you.. and i recommend NOT going to palm as gordo's car has been there for aggessssss

  • 2 weeks later...

thats nothing ... my whole back bumper is bent ... and the back panel ... its getting fixed now ... i've had my car fixed before at this place and they did an ok job ... wouldn't say great but good enough ... but yeah count urself lucky as ur damage wasn't that bad ..

Hey guys,

A damn lancer ran into the back of me tonight. I had driven to the end of my street and was waiting at a T intersection for traffic to clear, and the lancer was sitting behind me. Was about to go but thought one car coming was moving a bit quicker so I put my foot back on the brake (hadnt moved forwards yet) and the lady behind me must have been distracted thought i was moving off and drove into the back of me.  

:goddam:  

My rear bumper is pushed in, and  damage to my muffler i think.  

Could have been worse I guess.

Oh well maybe another skyline to head to palm.

Adam.

adam i feel for u mate:(

how dare they...even thought i am a lancer driver as well./

i swear i saw a white 33 drove past CQU yesterday while i was waiting to pick up my bf from uni...and i saw the back bumper was badly damaged...i was think its the cause of a drift!@@

hope u be fine soon

she pays for it doesnt she

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
