spotted outside integra today a white 32 GTR with 2 flat tyres, lookin sad.

And also a white 33 GTR inside the workshop.

Is this normal for integra to leave jobs parked outside?

Bit dodgy isnt it?

The GTR is mine, and no they dont usually leave cars outside, mine shouldnt be there.

Driving down my street on Friday night following a ute carrying firewood, a log of wood fell off the ute and went straight under my car doing a fair bit of damage (most notably, the wheels will be thrown in the bin as theyre buckled to all hell and back).

As the car cant be towed up my driveway due to the angle, I got it towed to my mechanics, which is Integra and which is why it was outside.

So cram your dodgy comment where it fits without knowing the full story.

WTF! I dont give a flying F**K who owns that GTR or what the story behind it is.

Point is I think its dodgy that The GTR is sitting outside the workshop, exposed for all to see.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your car (very unfirtunate) but drop the attitude buddy, its just a freakin observation and I am free to express it as I choose.

You call a workshop that I obviously highly rate dodgy, because -I- made the choice to leave -my- car out the front.

You obviously dont realise comments like what you made on a forum can make or break a business. There was and is nothing dodgy about where the car is. There are no mechanics at Integra on the weekend, and I dropped it off well after hours on Friday night. What am I meant to do, bust in so I can put the car inside so people dont think its dodgy?

Integra do not leave cars outside, and if I hadve dropped it off during business hours, it wouldnt be outside. To add to that also, one of the mechanics heard the car was there, and went in -in their own free time- on the weekend to see if I had left the keys at the servo to move it inside.

So my comment still stands, get the full facts before you making comments calling a business dodgy on a forum, that could potentially cost them a shitload of work (especially when they didnt even know the car was there).

Damn! do you work for these guys or something?

Mate, anyone who drove past wouldve seen the GTR and thought the same thing.

You better put a big sign on ur car stating what really happened so people dont think bad things about your precious workshop.

All in all - Who Cares!!

kept an eye out for you/your car, maybe it was a 32 4 door, it was parked behind the 31, and silver i think?

I was wondering who was stairing at me and my car.......

Also, AMARU.......... I think it's great that you stick up for your FAV mechanic and there place of buisiness. I agree it can make or break a shop. Dont worry about small minded people leaving there un-wanted two bobs worth about your ride. It's your car, so you do as you please and can leave it where you please.

while we are on the topic of giving plugs to good mechanics I sill take my car to DYNAMIC TUNING AND SRVICE. DTS . Formaly MING automotive.. Glen and the other boys there are fantastic and really know there stuff.

Cheers.

Also spotted that blue R34GTR again. There starting to grow on me more the 34"s.

Are DTS in Belco now? I watched an awesome Dyno video that they produce for customers doing power runs. Very professional. Changing the name was wise, MING had a bad rep in my neck of the woods.

I think the comment about the GTR sitting outside Ed's was warranted. It was an accurate description of what he saw and I wouldve thought the same thing "Damn I hope that hasnt been left out all weekend" purely because I wouldnt want it getting broken in to or even worse taken!

A simple explanation probably wouldve been sufficient Nik. But yeah I'm all for defending your workshop! EDIT: Sorry forgot to ask, hows the ride? Is the truck company going to pay? That sucks! I had a number of huge pieces of MDF fly of a truck in front of me and go skyward! It was like a movie trying to dodge these huge deadly MDF boards! lol... Luckily I got away with it, sounds like you didnt have that much luck!

I havent seen anyone around in a while! Then again I havent been driving the Skyline so nobody wouldve seen me.

Busted wheels, possibly busted brake callipers (the drivers side front wheel hit the calliper its warped that bad), busted front bar, theres a gap between the bonnet and front drivers side quarter now, exhaust bent... thats what I can see. Its going up on the hoist today so undercarriage can be checked further to see what other damage is done.

Ute didnt stop, and if anyones seen those flatbed hilux utes, the number plates are mounted under the tray and are hard enough to see when their lights are working. What topped it off is the ute had no lights on so couldnt see the plate, and he kept driving without stopping. Filled out a police report, but *shrugs* at this stage looks like im going to be quite a few thousand out of pocket because some **** sucking knob jockey decided itd be smart to carry firewood on a flat bed tray with no sides... ****ing idiot.

    • 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.
