It would of been the single greatest day in your life tyson...but you missed it. well i guess there is always next life. (right now i know a bunch of people are wondering why i used the term life and not year allow me to present my case then critisize my selection of vocabulary) <based on tysons driving ability he has managed to trash his non turbo skyline just a month and a half after aquiring it... it begs the question how does one loose control of something with minimal power unless someone was doing something stupid. so based on that I am being brutally honest when it comes to a young driver and using a term that has a little more impact in the hopes that he learns how to drive and doesn't wind up missing next years SCC due to a fatal tree to the car like incident.> and with that oer the day was good lots of sexy lines and some really stylish mods to boot.

I accelerated too fast out of a roundabout when it was pelting down rain. I haven't had my license for long either so i had no idea that the amount of acceleration i did would've spun my car out. Oh and also i over corrected myself when i started sliding, otherwise theres a high possibility i wouldn't have crashed. Also i never drove in wet weather when on my Ls, my mum wouldn't let me because she said i was too 'unexperienced', i often argued "how the hell am i supposed to get experience if i never drive in wet weather?" but it never got me anywhere.

Either way i don't think its nice to assume i was doing something stupid when you don't know the whole story. I never do anything stupid in my car since its not cheap to fix nor was it cheap to buy.

Saying 'next life' to me, doesn't effect me at all. If i kill myself in an accident then so be it, at least i won't be alive to care.

this is a sensless statement; you don't know the circumstances of Tyson's 'accident'.. wet weather brings plenty of drivers undone; not all are "stupid". if you have to crap on someone, crap on his Mum for not ensuring he had time behind the wheel in the wet. she obviously knows there are special skills/knowledge required for wet weather driving.

What really happened was he clutch kicked it out on the exit of the roundabout in an attempt to bake 2nd and do some hectik dorifuto. Don't feel bad ive got a mate who in the first week of owning his car did a similar thing by the sounds on it on a roundabout in the wet and went into a fence. He also then backed into another fence on another date...... I don't talk to him much anymore.

I hear what your saying..... I wouldnt worry about what anyone says on this forum anyway mate. As long as your safe and didnt get hurt, thats all you need to worry about :P

P.S. - As silly as it seems, you might want to invest in a driver training course... They can be really fun and you get to know your car exceptionally well. I took my old R34 4-door out to the skid pad and learnt allot about safety.

Take care

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
