Hi all,

If you haven't already heard there was a hit and run involving a silver skyline on Davy st last night. Two people were injured and they are currently looking for this silver skyline. I know this post will get mixed responses and views, I don't know the full story surrounding this incident, but if you know who owns this car or was driving it at the time, please contact crime stoppers (don't have the number sorry as I'm posting this from my phone), it's totally anonymous. To be honest skyline drivers get a bad enough wrap - so if you know anything at all please do the right thing. Steph.

More info, the vehicle stopped after it happened but the authorities are still trying to locate it. Love accurate media releases... that is sarcasm too by the way.

I realise you probably already know this, but in case others missed it. There's more details on the Mercury site here. The important bit of it is:

"Accident Investigation officer-in-charge Sergeant Rod Carrick said speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Sgt Carrick said alcohol and drugs also did not appear to contribute, however a blood alcohol and drug test had been conducted on the driver."

Horrible this kind of thing happens, but in this situation it looks like the driver isn't the only one at fault, especially where they were hit (here). I've personally run across in that place several times because the lights are irritating (only has crossing lights on one side of the road), and when I used used to drop my wife in town for work I constantly had people crossing in front of me and had to slow down to a crawl to avoid hitting people.

It's these idiots (here) that give us a bad name

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Fk me, I guess next time I will try to use the onsite attachments feature. I find it hard to work with so far though because I can't move the images to where I want them to be. I will try to make a separate post with just images. As for lifting. The work I need to do for now involves the exhaust and engine mainly, so the arm covering the jacking points is not a problem. But I don't want to bend in the whole sill or underfloor by lifting the car at the original jack points. I found some rubber blocks, 125 by 125 with a 10mm wide and 10mm deep cutout, which I'm hoping will work for not hitting the jacking rail. The sidemember, as seen in the service manual, are the rectangular frame rails that come from the front of the car and go alongside the gearbox and downpipe. Those that get crushed inwards if you use them for a floorjack. They are already slightly bent in from being used to hoist by other people. I think cutting off the jacking points and welding or bolting on a reinforcement plate along the sill might not be a dumb idea. Or is it dumb?     A 2 post hoist is what I'm gonna work with, but not for any underbody work, just leaky engine and exhaust work so far. Depends on what else I find that might need immediate attention. For metalwork on the sills I think I'd just bring the car to a panel beater. What's your take on getting rid of the original jacking rails and putting reinforcement plates along the sills?

      Custom titanium intake

      Yeah titanium always looks cool but I don't need that, just regular pipes would be fine. But I am really struggling to find any full hardpipe kit that is still for sale.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Note when Duncan says that, he means "when you're not using the correct lifting points on the sills, because you want to work on the sills. A 2 post hoist is not appropriate for everything anyway, and working on the sills is a good example of that, because the arms go under ths sills anyway. You're better off finding another way to support the car off the ground. Beyond that everything else D said is correct. Only the dedicated jacking points are the correct place to lift. Anywhere else is incorrect, extra caution and awareness must be used, etc etc.
