    Horrible Incident For My R32 Gtr, Now Need Parts..

    in New South Wales

    Posted

    hey guys,

    Ive been looking around for doors, there are like 4 people on this forum have offered me doors from QLD, TAS and NSW.. around 400 for the complete 2 doors and freight. However the rear damage at the rear is pretty bad and it would cost a bit to get it fixed and painted. will cost around 3k+ min for sure especially i dont know any smash repairers that could do the job for me.

    So yesterday me and dad decided to go through justcar insurance, around 2.7k excess and it will be a life time warranty repair job and less headache.

    will keep you posted guys!

    cheers

    I am insured with justcar, however excess will be min of 4k, so i thought ill try fix it mysel, would be cheaper and insurance premium wont increase.

    just talked to my panel beater/neighbour, he said if getting new doors, ill need to respray both side including the dent on the right rear panel + rear pumper.

    My car is white, so most likely to spray it white again, but i just thought of the r34gtr blue color maybe that would be hot?

    Also for the 2 doors the hinges are broken so i have two options, either get new hinges or get the lambo door kit this is a great chance to do that conversion...so if this incident happens again door wont be as bad :P "just kidding"

    let me hear your opinion guys, will keep you up to date...

    Cheers guys

    Hey guys, thought I'll share this story with you guys which just happened to me today and even now i still cant believe it happened...

    This afternoon around 2pm, me and my mate were working on the stereo system on my car so we took the middle surround piece out in order to access the audio cables.

    I was sitting on the passenger seat and he was on the driver seat, My mate needed more working space so he pulled down the handbrake, and put it into gear (REVERSE) so the car doesnt roll while the car was off but key was inside and it was on ACC

    Around 15 mins later my mates phone rang and he stood up and walked out of the carport to answer the call, he was talking a while on the phone... the stereo was playing, so i thought ill turn on the car to charge the battery just incase it die and cant start the car later. Big mistake by me, as i always assumed the handbrake (I never put down the handbrake while working on car) was up and completely forgotten that my freind pulled it down and put in REVERSE.

    I walked to the other side of the car, i turned the ignition on, horrible disaster was about to happen to my beloved GTR...

    It rolled back, like how it would if you were to start the car with handbrake on while the car is in gear, however it did not stop, it was going atleast 5km/hr. My right arm was stuck at the steering wheel and i tried to turn off the car (but the Turbo timer was on for 30sec, Boost controller was also on) and reach for the handbrake but it wasnt possible for me to reach in that position. NOW why didnt the car stop? normal car would stall isnt it? maybe because turbo and boost controller were on? :)

    It rolled back for 3M, and it was very fast i could not do anything but yell out "HELP ME MIKE!!" my driver side door broke because of my body was in the way and the left door hit the carports pole, so gone 2 doors. When my mate heard the scream he turned around and saw what was happening...he was like WTF???!! then ran straight to me and jumped into the driver seat to pull the handbrake up... just a little bit too late the right rear panel hit the side of the gate... big dent from the rear pods to fuel cap.

    Now, imagine if my mate wasnt there... I would of been dead or at at least break my legs/arms as the car pulled me to the gate, yes it moved like 5M (when it hit the gate) from the garage door. Secondly if it didnt hit the gate and stopped, it would of gone to the road and hit the car parked on the other side of it...or might even hit travelling cars on the road.

    So a lesson for me to learn, always stop the wheels with bricks... that just costed me atleast few grand to fix this damage.

    There go my beloved GTR, very big damage, 2 doors and the right rear panel... even now i still cant believe it. I wish it was a dream, i felt so bad for what happened and just want to share this story with you guys so hope this would never happened to any of us ever again.

    Now im in need of 2 GTR doors, please help me find out guys...you help will be appreciated. Im located in Canley Vale Sydney BTW, let me know if you can help me with finding Doors.

    thanks guys
