Hey guys, was involved in an accident last Monday, some tool went into my lane driving in the hills, I swirved and lost control (roads were wet + VERY tight space) and hence just found out today my car is being totalled ;):D We can't find the other driver, either he didn't see me crash (likely due to the amount of trees obsuring his view) or he just plain didn't bother to stop, so the excess is left to be paid by me; how nice!

Anyway, now I'm looking for a new car, definately gonna be a Skyline again, probably a S2 R33 but I gotta find the right one, prefferably with a sun roof. Anyone looking to sell me their baby nice and cheap? :wave:

Yeah I'm fine, save for a little bit of a sore back. Definately thank god for insurance, if I didn't have it... well lets say I wouldn't be too happy! Those Skylines are built like brick shithouses though, coming out of an accident like I did with basically no injuries definately says something for Japanese engineering

Was looking at something like this, I know it's in Sydney but I could always fly down (or up - symantics :)), what you guys think?

Sorry to hear about what had happened to your car.

The white R33 seems very neat to me. The price is also quite reasonable, looking at the amount of mods it comes with the car. The only thing that you would have to consider is that you might have to spend some money to remove all the illegal mods when it gets to SA. Transporting the car down/up from Sydney to Adelaide would probably another additional cost of 500-700 bucks, not unless you want to drive it back.

Have you tried looking around locally? But if a couple of $k's different doesn't trip you off the cliff, I guess the white R33 looks like a fantastic choice.

Bad luck man... don't be too worried about purchasing from interstate... I have done it twice in the last 12 months. Just bought my GTR from brisbane a couple of months ago and provided it is currently registered then it does not have to go thru regency. You just have to go for an identity check which can be done at sturt depot not regency... just to check engine/vin no.s ....its no big hassle.

I bought mine from Melbourne last year. Yes you are right... It's only an identity check thing. But if you are unlucky, they will still ask you to take off all the illegal mods before getting your rego in SA. It happened to me. They asked me to take off my tint because the legal tint in SA is 70% instead of 30%. Asked me to increase the height of my car... this and that..... :thumbsup: Cost me a couple of hundreds to get them fixed.

Oh guys that's great news, I was worried about the whole regency thing, but it is registered so hopefully I'll be alright. I'm still looking around here in Adelaide for one but if I can't find one then I'll seriously consider interstate

I got my Stagea (registered) from Qld last year, took the obvious stuff off (like boost guage, boost bleed control, turbo timer, etc) on the side of the road prior to going thru Sturt Rd for the engine # inspection, and it wasnt a problem. Pulled over down the road and put it all back on again!

If the interstate vehicle is in a high state of tune then there could be problems, if mildly mod'd then just take off what you can prior to having the identity inspection. Dont get reamed into going to Regency tho......

Yep what the other guys said is true regarding blatantly obvious mods, but put it this way... I got passed at the id inspection in my 32GTR with an R34 motor, N1 turbos, pods, big injectors, cams, coilovers, bov's etc

So... its not real hard!!

Thanks for the support guys! vange, I'll take a look at that dealer, see if they have anything of interest, do you happen to know the price?. I've considered upgrading to a 34 but I'll probably stick with an S2 33. I've always said to myself the only 34 I'd get would be a GTR :)

As for how the accident happened, LONG complicated story to explain on the forum in text but basically, some ass came into my lane in the hills, sent me out of control and kept going...

My car was exactly like yours but a series 1 and had a sunroof, was a great little car, miss it VERY much. For insurance I went with Just Car and they insured me for $18500 so I get a bit of money back but I'd rather have my car and no hassle of buying another.

All these stories of passing through from interstate inspections is sounding better and better. I'd say the only things I'd have to remove are the PFC hand controller and boost controller, the rest should be cool

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
