Helllllllllooooooooo I'm still here, just got the suspension changed in my 34 today actually. So I'll be spending a little more time driving it around now. I have some sad news though, I'm moving

Blew the cobwebs out of @Sinista32 last Sunday for a few hours. It's great to get the passion back every so often

No you just tried to give him a run. Stop telling us how you are driving like a dickhead.

Spotted: Black Thunder trying to race me while i was driving my other car today, i chopped him

Ha!ROFLMAO! Black Thunder,you say?Classic!I wonder if the horrible media types at Black Thunder Central(104.7)have more respect for the fabled stove taillights...Or maybe they'll jump on the rising wave of stereotyping and label your car,and all of ours,"killer Skylines"?

Hey everyone, about the cruise the other day, sorry i didn't see you all at the Cotter. What time did you leave there at? I headed out at about 3pm after work and i couldn't see any of you? I was probably in the wrong place as i was taking directions from my dad and he has just a bit of trouble with maps :rofl:

However i did stumble upon a Ford Mustang gathering, and i don't think too many of them were happy to see my Japanese turbo six amongst their American 8's... got a few dirty looks so i got out of there quick smart ;):P:p

But anyways, i heard about the crash. What model was it? The rims in the pic i saw were 32's, so i assume it was an R32? Ah well, great news for my insurance premuim and road reputation.

I just hope like hell that this doesn't happen again soon. Insurance companies are so risk averse it's not funny (that's why they are so rich) and they never forget. The last thing we need is for Skylines to get the same rep the WRX got when it first appeared. Chick at NRMA told me the first 10 they insured in '95 got stolen and the whole industry still isn't over it. Premiums go up, they don't go down.

Thing is there's always going to be more people killed in hot rod Commodores etc but the media has this new 'playterm' called Skyline. If someone is to blame for an increase or restriction it'll be the media sensationlising it to the point that the pollies think they have to do something and the insurance dudes never letting go of the belief Skyline = bad. Get ready for another 70 or so people to get taken out over the Xmas / New Year period but don't expect our buds in the media to put pressure on the govt to use more taxes to improve roads which are ridiculously unsafe.

Sorry for the rant people just hate getting squeezed by the fun police / nanny society gestapo for no reason when nothing usually changes anyway...viva the revolution! (steps off soap box)

post edited as i think i may have not expressed myself properly...

long story short i can see reasons for restricting power/weight ratios for young drivers. but as andrew and graham have pointed out their are reasons for and against this.

Totally disagree with you leech.

so as soon as someone has finished their p's they are automatically good enough to handle a limitlessly-high powered car? it's the driver and i did just as much (if not more) stupid sh*t in my slow lancer as i've done in my line. fact is young people are going to do stupid stuff in cars and kill themselves no matter what, its about time people just accepted it and got over it, i'll say it again, regardless of the car young people are going to kill themselves, so stop with the stupid restrictions, im not giving up my skyline for anyone, and if i still own it when the restrictions come in, in a few months i'll still drive it.

im really fired up over this whole bullshit debate, a young guy crashes his import and all of a sudden left wing pinkos come out with these ideas, the restrictions hav'nt work in neoo zee-lund and they wont work here.

wanna make the roads safer? ban the over 65's

oh and by the way, if P-platers get banned then get used to about 4 people coming on cruises, if all of us "deadly p-platers" were already banned there would have been about a quarter of the turnout on sunday too.

True, but an idiot driver is an idiot driver regardless of whether they're on their P's or not and regardless of what car they're in.

To true but at least it will give most of these people an extra 2 - 3 years to learn to drive properly. granted again that for some people it doesnt matter how much time you give them they will still drive like tools but when you hear 17 and 18 year olds in rex's and lines who have crashed generally due to inexperiance its a sad to hear and frustrating. Main downside is all young drivers are getting crucified by the press at the moment and the fact that you and others drive performance cars means you will be signaled out even more which is dodgy...

i know what you mean andrew and hey each to their own i know i am still young and have a shit load to learn about driving and i never said it will make them automatically good enough to drive high performance cars but it will at least provide a little more experiance to hopefully be able to react a little smarter if something does go wrong. i know myself i have learnt the hard way in my previous cars but am glad in a way that i didnt have my line back then hey maybe you guys are alot better drivers than me but yea anyways i know everyone has their own opinion on this so yea i will be quiet now :)

also maybe my first post was a little blunt so sorry didnt get my point across properly i think. someone :kick: next time they see me :headspin:

I don't necessarily agree with either of your idiotic opinions but pleased you both expressed one. Ahhh Democracy.....

But when Stalin and I get back into power you will think what we tell you to think or you will be:headshot:

      R34 GT-R Positive Battery Cable Routing

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi there, after a quick google search I found this topic as I am also relocating the battery to the boot of my 1998 GTT. I was just wondering how you got on with installing the re-routing and specifically the installing of the harness protectors? How do they attach? Are they just a simple "click-in" affair, or do they attach with bolts? Does the GTT have all the necessary fixing holes for them, for example, where they locate on the chassis? Any help you can provide would greatly appreciated.

      R34 squeaking sound from passenger front area

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Stock less likely to carry one like that than urethane, but still can, especially if the bolts are not as tight as they should be. If it's making that much noise you should be able to use a hose as a stethoscope> stick one end in your ear, crouch down and wave it around the various possible noise makers and get someone to lift the front end at the guard lip.

      Passenger Door stuck R34 GTT

      Broken actuator rod. Could be one of a couple of them broken. Or, it's locked and the central locking actuator is broken/stuck or the actuator rods between it, the lock and the key barrel are jammed or broken similarly. You'll probably need a locksmith/mechanic who is experienced with using slim tools to reach down next to the window glass to manipulate the mechanism. That's assuming that it is not so severely jammed/broken that nothing useful will move.
