Yeah i know, thats just my dream car!! everyone has said not to sell and to keep it as it is my pride and joy, and heck i think i might do it! thanks for your words sinista!!! MMM i actually always had a soft spot for a 32 except i ended upwith a 33!!! i think my next line will have to be something special as im already attached to my current ride! I've made a choice, fcuk what people think...  and bring it on haters!!! Word of mouth is that it was someone in year12 at school, and i dont even know the person, according to the source, theyre just jealous ****s, but i hope it was someone as they will have a nice bill to pay!

Thanks for all your support everyone!

Dayne

Hell Yeah!!! F#$% the haters. Its life man, you'll cop it whether you're driving a line or walking down the street. How you react to it will really determine who you are. ie. Will you give up ur dream cos you copped shit about it OR will you cop it on the chin, take sumthin away from it and grow young grasshopper! Don't let others make ur mind up for you.

It is a definite sign of lack of maturity to expect people to show maturity :rofl:

Keep the Skyline, but do you "really" need to drive to school?

Nothing saps my will to jump in the car like being stuck in stupid traffic all the time. If you want driving to be fun try and make it special... Head up to the hills for fun or off to wherever to pose.

parking my car in my school parking lot is scarier then leaving it at a carpark, today i saw someone back into someone else and a kid nearly get hit by another car. that was just today, its ****ing insane, WHY DO PEOPLE WHO CANT DRIVE HAVE LISENCES?!?!$# ffs im always getting yelled at by randoms and pulled over when im not doing anything wrong and then theres even more noobs everywhere

/me has a cry

Hey dayne,

I am most impressed that you have a 'line in college! Although it is a N/A model isnt it??? I know how stupid it sounds to leave the car at home and take the bus instead! So demoralising... But honestly i'm thinking of busing to work instead of driving now! No matter how hard you try some f*ck always opens there door into it or slides down the side of it with jeans on!!! Aghhh...

Keep the line. Try your hardest (110%) to keep it safe and if it does get damaged take it on the chin and reach for the wallet...

As for the abuse, I feel you on that one! Ever since the string of crashes and the daily tele's attack on us, I get it all! Beeping idiots when i'm just cruising on the speed limit! People making comments about me being next! Who cares! They'll get over it...

Yeah, cant wait to find out who did it, the paint has made a massive scratch in the paint (round mark) and taken it away to metal like little dots, and it looks like crows feet all across the paint where the egg was... damn eggs! but i cant wait to find out who this year 12.... mmm ohh it sounds good, he'll be paying for a nice respray on the drivers side i can tell you now!!!

Thanks again guys, appreciate the support from the fellow SAU'ers

WHY DO PEOPLE WHO CANT DRIVE HAVE LISENCES?!?!$#

They sleep with their driving instructors. Hey! Stop looking at me like that! :)

Seriously though, we had a crappy old white Barina we were trying to sell and it lived outside, some dickhead egged it. It's bound to happen.

And don't call me grayham either, i know where you live! :D

Your actually pretty wrong Grayham. I never brag about the car to anyone, infact if its anyone it would be joking around with my close mates

Hey, i'm not saying that's what happened, just keep it in mind.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
