Jay, I think all of us would say that you have a pretty good attitude. Certainly when I met you briefly at Caltex before that coast cruise you struck me as a very level-headed chap. I'd say that would extend to driving too.

Accidents happen to everyone (that's why there are erasers on the end of pencils) and it completely sucks but as long as no one is hurt, everything else can be fixed. Don't add salt to the wound by beating yourself up about it.

Re repairs, I can second Slyder's comments about Terry Pulford - I've heard good things about them.

Condolences, mate - I hope you get her back on the road soon.

SilverSlyder & Sigsputnik - thanks guys.

That's true, accidents happen, and upto now I've had a pretty much spotless driving history. I think it was around 14 years ago that I had my last speeding ticket !!

Now all I can do is go with the flow, if it get's written off then I'll start the hunt for another, if it doesn't then it looks like the push bike is gunna get a good work out until it's fixed :)

J

P.S. - I'll look into Pulford's and Barret Bros - thanks again.

OMG Jay - thank goodness you and everyone involved is okay....

As has been said its happened - its done - don't beat yourself up too much.

I shouldn't really say this on a Skyline forum but the reality is its only a car and they can be fixed or replaced. Lives and horrible injuries can't...

Take care......Keep us all in the loop

:(

Hmmm, i saw a black R32 skyline today in tuggeranong at the traffic lights across from the wollies servo. Female driver as well. I was the dickhead on the side of the road with two other mates who screamed 'NICE SKYLINE' at you before you drove off.

um...unsure of the KMs? Was that cause it read 28,000 on the speedo but was really around 60,000? I was told it was cause it had the Nismo dash installed. But yeah, looked at it twice so far and on the second visit decided to buy. I was just surprised with the condition of it, there was barely any wear on the cars interior at all which i was very impressed with. Plus it drove very nicely :D

Owners a nice guy too, and it wasn't the first Skyline he's imported either.

    • Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts
    • Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.
    • stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.
    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
