Well my new GTR survived 16 days and 570km until being damaged.

We left it parked defensively in a quiet carpark for one hour while we had dinner, of course no note left...

I hate some things about human nature!

Thankfully there are 2011 bumpers in Australia at the moment.

If it wasn't a car, that's quite a whack!

Reminds me of receiving my brand new 240K in '77. I drove out to see a friend at his chemist. Out in the carpark, my bonnet received a case of fruit. Car was 2 hours old!

sorry to hear that.

who gonna pay for the repair??

I will have to pay the insurance excess of up to $800.

SGIO have been great I must admit, especially considering insurance is very reasonable at $1600 a year.

Do they allow your choice of repairer or do they want you to use theirs (like AAMI)?

that sucks mate. I can't stand arseholes who damage peoples cars and then act like they didn't notice and just drive off. I would want someone to leave me a note just as I would leave a note if I damaged someone else's car. It's not a big bloody deal. just the right thing to do if you damage someone else's property. even more so if it's a nice car which usually belongs to an enthusiast who takes pride in his/her car.

I have a camera set up at work that points directly onto my carpark. I have two parking spots and I park directly in the centre. I am certain it pisses people off but I paid for them so I can do what I want with them as far as I am concerned. I should take a screen capture.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By RB25inside · Posted

      Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.

      Compatible rear drive shafts R34 N/A?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They should do. I have S14 (or something S chassis, anyway) driveshafts in my R32 (because my diff flanges have 3x2). They're the right length. When you go looking for R32/3/4 driveshafts (for turbos), they're all the same thing, so are the same length. So there really shouldn't be any reason why those cheapies from JJ won't also fit an R34. R32/3 NA should also be the same thing. The (3x the price) D-Max ones are uni-fit. They have 5x1 and 3x2 bolt holes and say they cover all the cars. So that would also suggest that they are all the same except for the flanges. And in that case, the flange goes both ways. I'd be buying the D-Max ones if I ever have to replace a shaft. Because that will open up diff options without needing to juggle shafts also. Juggling shafts is gay.

      GReddy Injector Help!

      By ChoppedSpots · Posted

      Yeah with the adaptors they do look like the photo above - just the fitment within the plenum itself and then further with the rail to the intake is questionable - we shall see tomorrow hopefully once I get some replies from Aeroflow, maybe those bosses are the missing piece....

      Should be fine, if you have it sitting too far in, you end up just spraying the walls and have shit idle. You "can" run them like that, however I don't think it's a great idea (also depends on your plenum, might be good to just get the injector bosses first, mock it up and see if you need to get the bottom extension) Ideally your injectors, with the extension should look like this  (Not my photos, just Google)

      Thanks for the replies guys, it's really appreciated.  It seems the kit was supposed to come with those injector bosses but hasn't. Unsure if they'll help as even with the adaptors to make them a 3/4 height injector they still sit too far out so mount the fuel rail?
