i hit a pidgeon the other day, it was sitting on the road not moving just looking at me, im doing 50km/h and if i wanted to avoid it id have to go on the other side of the road, so i thought just maybe he will duck his head and my car isnt too low and it will be fine until i heard a thud and looked behind and saw a puff of feathers. i got home and i had a bunch of feathers stuck in the intercooler and a bit of blood and no marks at all. so what i learnt is birds dont go underneath my car and that pidgeon really should of kept his head down lol.

Yer I know lol

did you die funky?

yes, and now I've returned as the saviour with a message of epic fitment or damnation.

it was wierd, going down the tunnel, i see two headlights comin towards me... at first I was like "meh" but then I realised that the tunnel was one way. kept goin in my lane, cos if I swerve and he does there's a 50% chance that we'd collect each other. slowed right down and the dumb kent takes the inside lane and almost collects another car.

Was that the Kangaroo Ground-Warrandyte road? I nearly killed someone on that road once. He dropped it right in front of me coming the other way and I hit him head-on. Don't think he was speeding but it just goes to show how dangerous they are even when you ride legally.

Some motorcyclists are simply suicidal. I'm not worried about them, if they want to kill themselves that's their problem, but I worry about the accidents they can cause for other people.

It was on Warrandyte Road, Warrandyte / Doncaster East.

Yeah I don't worry about them either.

That's their problem if they want to commit suicide.

The car in front of me pulled over to the left a bit, but I stayed where I was and not willing to move as I was not breaking the law.

Makes me wonder they always have something to prove or think they are invincible.

Probably a bit of both ... it just pisses me off that I've already had one car wrecked by a bloke who ran out of talent, and I'm worried one day I'll lose more than a car. You might not think a bike would hurt a car all that much but both my parents were injured in the crash.

And the cops always seem to be picking on imports from what I've heard ... I suppose it's harder to defect a bike, since they're so fast in stock form. Plus the bastards are harder to catch when they run.

Man that's fucked.

Clearly the motorcyclist was in the wrong.

What is even more fucked is the motorcyclist try to justify their own illegal actions.

They never fucking learn to it happens to them and not just them, all other forms of road users on the roads.

At least you and your parents are fine now, I hope!

Yeah all good now, mum had severe bruising and dad had a cracked vertebra, but both are fully healed now.

It's interesting though, losing that car put me on the road that lead me to the GT-R ... if I hadn't had that accident I might still be driving the Suzuki Swift ...

Damn!

God for bid that to happen again!

LOL!

A shit thing, turned into a good thing.

Main thing is that you are all fine and still here today.

bidding on 18" by 10" wide Work Miester S1's for the mystery golf. According to the cardboard mockup I made of the wheels for quick offset clearance calculation, they should fit just right with stretched 215's and a little camber/fender pull.

Thinking of forgoing the airbag suspension though and riding on coils... will mean I'll have to redo my driveway. Fuckit.

fucking shit just got real. Time to shame some Euro drivers into submission.

DAMN that's bog for a golf! offset?

+30

guys on VW vortex in the US are pulling this off with no rubs and a little bit of poke (I'm rolling the fenders out anyways)... so I'm fairly sure between my measurements and real world results that its doable.

Guys in the US run mad fitment and offsets, but on shitty rotas. Guys in EU run mad BBS meshies with dish, but don't run anything more than 8.5" usually, guys in Oz... they usually just stick to shitty Starcrap's from Tempe Tyres or Audi A4 wheels.

I want something different.

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
