NA_R33 - Yeah took a closer look and it looks like the rack is bent as well as a whole other bunch of stuff, so I am probably just gonna tow it to Gav's and let him sort out the mess! Thanks heaps for the help changing it and offering to help out, muchly appreciated :)

Pred - Man that is a pretty intesting door you had, I really wouldn't mind hearing bout it for the 500th time, I know what it's like as I have had to explain my traffic island "incident" like 500 times this week.

ska: whole rack bent? hmm, now looking quite expensive. Steering arm is one thing, but a whole replacement steering rack is not an easy job. Feel for you man :P

nexus: me? nah, just search VIC and search for "And you thought Gordo's bad luck had ended" thread..

Yeah well, was my own fault so cant bitch and whine about it, just pay for it and get it fixed, got a car trailer and something to tow it so now just gotta wait for the replacement mag to come in and take it to Gav's :P hopefully I might have enough left over to get a cat back exhaust :D maybe........... fingers crossed :D

It was actually pretty lucky I didnt have a after market front bar or side skirts as they would probably need replacing too, I am soooo lucky I didnt get any body work damage, but guess I kind compensated with the mechanical damage. Well if you're gonna do something, ya gotta do it RIGHT! :P

yeah.. exactly - you would have done them.. all those stupid bits of fibreglass are a pain in the ass.. my replacement front bar last year: $900 . Can end up costing just as much as the damn mechnicals..

For those interested in the story of the multicolour car read here.....

    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
    • I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
    • Sounds like it is rotational in the driveline. CV? Tailshaft CB? Also.....didn't you just pay to have that bit painted and put on the car?
    • Yeah, when I dialled my idle down, given how much time I spent idling at the lights in traffic on my daily commute, the effect on overall fuel consumption was absolutely noticeable.
    • Emissions, fuel consumption, heat, noise, etc. most likely.
