hey all, i kno most of u prolly dont give a shit, but i had the worst day ever today and i need to vent it so this is how im doing it :thumbsup:

well this morning i got my liscence ;):D w000000h000 :D then i had to drop mum off home, so we were driving. then she decides she needs to get milk so i took her to the shops on parry ave. as we were leaving i hear a loud "POP" and then not 10 seconds later, my car goes "chk chk churr griiiind kkk" and then stops in the middle of a one lane road right in front of a roundabout.

i hadent even had my liscence an hour :(

then just to make things worse, i rang the tow truck and he sed "ill be there in about an hour", so for an hour me n mum sat in the ***in 40 degree sun, while we waited fro the tow truck.

then, just to top off my day....a bird shat on my arm as i was waiting.

sorry to winge to u all, but i spose some good might come of my post? can ne one tell me how much i should be expecting to pay for a new radiator (not inc. labour) coz apparently i burst the radiator pipe :S.

thanx for listening to me whine, and please does n e one kno how much i should b paying for the radiator??

wow thought my day is bad. Hope you get back on the road ASAP .... that must be really disappointing to have that happen within an hour of having your license. It'll only get better from here :thumbsup:

ok lets make this thread more miserable

after draining oil from my engine realised new oil filter didnt fit

yayyyy

thats ok ill ride a bike to work till i get a new one

how about i change the brake pads in the mean time

oh wait they dont fit either , they gave me the wrong ones (my fault didnt check)

yyaaaaayyyyyyy

thats ok ill get some more of them

oh wait whats happened it seems the piston in the brake caliper is locked to the brake disc

hoorayyyy thats ok i didnt need brakes anyway because i have no oil

thats ok ill get up earlier in the morning and pick up my new turbo from australia post i justpaid heaps of money for

ohhhhh it has more shaft play than Strich9 at connections

woohoo

ok now i feel better

ok as everybody is whinging then i will too... after going to uni 2 times in same day to sort out timetable/unit clashes and errors n shit... spending about 3hrs at uni running to from cbs building to cbs building and having timetable and unit changes rejected multiple times... get it sorted out... i get rear ended by a falcon, RIGHT infront of my house! was stationary and waiting for traffic to clear so i could turn and get driven into!!! *cries a river*

as we were leaving i hear a loud "POP" and then not 10 seconds later, my car goes "chk chk churr griiiind kkk" and then stops in the middle of a one lane road right in front of a roundabout.

I'd be worried about exactly what it was that went "chk chk churr griiiind kkk" after the radiator hose popped. 10 secs worth of driving is a lot of revolutions of the engine!

(sorry, i never see the brighter side of things :thumbsup: )

"then, just to top off my day....a bird shat on my arm as i was waiting."

That made me farken laugh, :)

bl dood....think of the people and sht that have cancer in the world and the ppl that cant afford to eat or feed their kids....

we are all thankful that the worst parts of our day involve bird sh!t and our cars... ;) its all good guys :)

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
