I was in a rush one afternoon and about to leave only to realise that id left my wallet inside,well i thought i did,and so after looking everywhere for it i decided to look in my car i put my knee on the passenger seat and as i was bending over to look under the seat anyway my knee slipped and it caused my head to become wedged in between the drivers seat and the steering wheel,the seat was close to the wheel cause id been vaccuming it earlier on,this meant i wasnt in my origional position to pull myself back out.It was very awkward but i ended up using the latch to slide the seat back and got my head out.

HAVE A WHALE OF A TIME IN A SKYLINE @TM@ :elaugh:

ive got a couple more :(

1. Driver door closing on my leg whilst I am installing or modifying something has happened more than once, doesnt seem to stay very well at half mast and I cant fully open cause of the other 34 parked next to me in garage!

2. Passenger seat tried to kill me: I was trying to release it forwards from the drivers seat [with belt on] so as to let someone get in the back, I leant across and hit the latch at the side [thinking I would catch the seat it on its way] but it was way too quick for me and copped a nice hit on the noggan for my efforts :)

Have banged my head on both boot and bonnets - these hurt!

Just about everytime I pull a part of the car, which happens almost weekly, I manage to cut, bruise or damage myself in some way!!!

And I am not even the accident-prone type :)

There was an incident with the exhaust - but I wont go there...

I can't do anything to my car without being hurt in some way. Whether it is removing wheels, exhaust, changing oil, shocks, hicas bar or whatever I always manage to bruise or cut myself!

I hit my head on the boot latch probably once every few weeks, maybe i'm a slow learner :)

never been hurt by my own car cept a couple of years ago when I ran over my own foot with my own car.... i put the car in neutral and was rolling the car backwards while standing beside the car using the steering wheel to direct. I forgot to count for momentum and ran over my foot. :)

But then again... body parts can grow back (i think) as long as your car isn't hurt, who cares?

    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
