Car Crash

Sooo... I didn't attend the dinner... And have had a pretty bad week. I've owned my R33 for a week. As some of you already know... I let my friend drive my car earlier this week...

Just thought I would post a picture of why this can be considered a bad idea...

Lesson learnt.

He was being a doushe... His idea of "drifting"... FML. Straight into a barrier. The kid owns a front wheel drive! He over corrected (as you do when you drive a front wheel) ...

mods tend to frown upon multiple topics getting raised

agreed Steve - hope your mate is coughing up $ for the replacement panels Peter.

lol Ben - i've let my old man drive my car, he drives it like he stole it. Bue he wouldnt even think about the drifting bullshit.

Bue he wouldnt even think about the drifting bullshit.

I dont even think my dad knows how or even what a drift is :) He considers his 1990 stock Celica to be a super fast sports car... I guess my father just fails at the midlife crisis game. Mind you he was a alfa enthusiast back in the day :) Alot of cool cars.

He is funding the crash yes. Kind of feel sorry for the bloke... I mean he is doing the right thing, and surely I've lost out by having the damage... But he is going to be a bit out of wallet on this one

thats pretty much what i dread

he has one of those wankers 4wds... a certified burnside bus (mercedes ML320 suv) which hasnt got the tyres or lift to go off road but has a 'low gear' setting incase your mansion is on an incline... hes a bad driver too...has a habit of not checking his blind spot

let my dad drive my previous rexy and gsr cordia once each respectively.

the gsr got reversed into a no standing pole in the first 5 minutes and didnt even leave the front lawn.

The rexy required a new clutch after he chewed it out and the gearbox linkages felt weird with one 45 minute drive.

(mustve ground gears every change) -- too scary to think about !

all family members since banned from driving any of my rides unless its an emergency!

    • Pretty simple question. I was about to put the transmission back in and thought I pretty much had it lined up when I noticed it seems like the pressure plate isn't flat. I was pretty careful when undoing the bolts both during initial disassembly for cleaning and when torquing them up for installation so this is pretty discouraging. I'm not sure if I accidentally bumped the pressure plate with the input shaft and bent it somehow or if it just showed up this way. Is it possible that there's just something obvious I'm not doing correctly? I'm pretty sure I was extremely careful to make sure the friction discs were seated correctly in the hub, everything lined up, flywheel torqued according to sequence, the little springs all sitting correctly in their seats, etc.  What's the play here? Do I jump straight to a new pressure plate?
    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update
