Many of my mates have worse records than that. Drink driving, speeding, loss of license, blah blah blah. Some of them are only 21/22. Nothing out of the ordinary these days with everything going on.

Have you learnt your lesson?

Yes Ive Learnt my lesson...

Getting parts from Nissan as new is just cruel :) He is paying for them, I have a lot of respect for him for that knowing the stories I have been told of people just not coughing up or waiting months and months for repayment. Besides, the bumper and bonnet were already aftermarket. It does help our best mate is a panel beater. He will do the spray for the cost of the paint.

Just like to add that I wasn't driving :) Just to refresh your memory. Even he was driving sensibly but we were out at Mt Craford and it was wet. Think he just under estimated the power.

Anyone else coming down to help fix it on Saturday? I know Steve will be there. Along with the bloke who crashed it.

I could. I just got told by my mate who is a panel beater to make sure that I get a new bonnet with struts already with it. No idea why :)

Yes.

One mate lost his license (P1's), continued to drive around, got caught 5 times at random times, got suspended for another year, still drove around and now he's back on his P1's until he's 25 (just turned 23).

On top of that, he's been done for speeding, running red lights, talking on the phone, running from a bretho, changing drivers in front of a bretho, driving unlicensed and driving an unregistered car.

Makes me angry how he got away with all of this and still gets to drive... Even driving while under suspension. Yet I get done in the back seat of a car with no seatbelt on and get hit with 3 points (even though I wasn't driving).

We all learn our lesson eventually.

Not wearing a seatbelt! How hard is it! :) More importantly, tell your mate to get some better tint! If a cop noticed you didnt have a seatbelt on, He really must have some clean glass.

I hate getting done for stupid stuff

      Is this pressure plate warped? And do I need a new one?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      RB gearbox options

      By Butters · Posted

      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
